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

Are you planning on building the mod yourself? Or having one built? Or buying a preexisting mod? As you mentioned in your other post, the GN Light Mod is a good comparison. Also a side question: what Mods (or Chassis) are currently For Sale?

Everyone,
LLSSPULLER2.0 is having a meltdown so we have to stop talking about this. He's spoken so case closed. I sure wish we could discuss pulling and the LLSS class but that's not why I started this website.

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. There's a portion of fans who want to see a tractor rear-end in a tractor along with 9-bolt hubs, a tractor bellho

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. The pullers who showed up for the whole event (for each class) made a sacrifice and commitment to the event that should be rewarded. The ring is a relationship between the puller and

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

The LLSS is great and I love it, I've made no secret about that... but that's not what I'm talking about right now. No I don't want the LSS to be the LLSS. The LLSS is it's own awesome thing. I want to stay on topic and stick to the LSS. But yeah, the LLSS has got some awesome things going for it.

So far in this entire thread the best reason given was by patches... the diesel guys don't want to hook with the alky guys. That's the best reason given so far. One other reason is the NTPA likes having the option to book both classes. They don't really care how many tractors are in the class, they just want something to sell to promotors.
