That's a team I'd never bet against. Honestly, their consistency at the top of the Prostock class for all these years is extremely impressive.

You do realize this isn't just about IH?
When the class first started there was no limit. Eventually it was set at 680. In around 1999 or 2000ish the NTPA lowered (or tried) to lower the class to 620 but rescinded the rule. The cubic inch issue has been an issue for a long time... hence complaining about it for a long time. This isn't just about IH, it's about AC, Ford, etc.

I don't really see how billet or recast blocks would be a performance advantage
Agreed. I'm not worried about performance. I'm worried about driving up the cost of the classes even more.

I guess it depend on how we define "beneficial". Billet blocks and recast block are definitely stronger. One of them will eventually come apart in a dramatic fashion just like the "Jus Blowin Cash" AC Hot Farm (Thanks to Thurston Pulling Photos for the great video) but we haven't seen that yet. On the other hand those blocks are not cheap. Allowing them could become a huge financial hurd

Trump trolling Trudeau... I mean Turdeau and calling him Governor was one of the best trolls of all time, just totally disrespected him for the beta-male he is. That disrespect on the World stage had to be a factor that helped pressure Turdeau to resign.

That twin 5.9 is awesome. I'd love it if we had more variety like that in the US. The Double Stuff tractor was really cool and one of my favorite mods too. A version of that with aluminum DT466 blocks would be awesome. I understand why pullers go with V8 Hemi power but it would be great for the sport in the US if some brave souls would think outside of the box and develop alternative opt

Dear Dead horse... we were told this would benefit the pullers. Now I'm fine if they say no money was given out this year.

Personally I think the rigged election in 2020 was a blessing. In 2020 all the normal bellwether indicators pointed to a Trump win, all the trends of voting pointed to a Trump win until the late night ballot drops, and now the data from the 2024 election sure makes the 2020 numbers for the democrats look extremely dubious.
As I said, I'm glad it worked out the way it did. I think the p

Couldn't a cummins be built from off shelf parts ??
It's funny though... the 5.9 Cummins has quickly become the Kohler K301 of the LLSS class. I was thinking the same thing... lots of Cummins parts and lots of hood choices that would work with a 5.9. I don't want the whole class to go with the 5.9 or 6.7 but it would probably one of the most cost effective ways to

What OH1979er is generally true. However... it's not entirely accurate with the component discussion. There are some that really like to watch "tractors" in some classes. There are plenty of people who prefer classes that actually have some relationship with a tractor.

I actually think the heat is very relevant to the question. A flagman like Scott Doty is on his feet for hours at pulls like BG. He doesn't get to take a bathroom break and he's constantly moving. He drinks just enough to stay slightly dehydrated so he can make it through the show. If you added a fire suit to that he wouldn't be able to drink enough to make up for the sweat he&

There is a relationship between the promotor and the competitor. There's also a relationship between the competitor and the sanctioning body.
It's no different than the relationship of a consumer to a company selling a product. If you don't think there's a relationship then you're naive. Let's take Bud Light; the company selling the product didn't have the

Personally I think your vehicle should have to be on the grounds and registered for both sessions to be eligible for the ring. You can't control the weather, but you can control your commitment to the event.

So I can confirm that you are not allowed to adjust your drawbar after it's been measured. It's in my old rule book and it's also in the new rule book. Tire pressure can't be changed and you can only move 200# of weight. Those rules have been in-place FOREVER. I knew it was in my old rulebook but I wasn't 100% positive it was still in the new book until today.

Did the rule change for drawbar adjustments? The rule book says once it's measured at the scale no adjustments are to be made. No air in or out of tires. And only 200 lbs of weight can be adjusted.
This is a great question. If it's a rule then the NTPA needs to either enforce the rule or change it. If this rule is still in the rule book then it's 100% the faul
