I'd expect that number to grow by at least 50% in the next few years. Honestly I'm not sure what role the 4.1's play now that we have 5.0 Pros. Some of the 4.1 guys keep clamoring for a component chassis, so my question is why have a 4.1 class? I guess I'm just confused at what niche the 4.1 has now.

I'm no tech guru either. Google is forcing ALL websites to a secure protocol. I'd love to switch the website over to https but that takes time. I've got tons of projects going on and very little spare time. I'm hoping to make the switch at some point but I have no idea when. Until then people will have to just work around it.

I'm with LSS fan... the weight should be lowered, not raised. A 6000lb. class would be great. Lighter weight makes it more about setup and driving. Heavier weight just becomes a horsepower race. Sadly horsepower is like crack or meth for pullers, there's always been more focus on HP than there has been on setup. Don't get me wrong, HP is great but I have huge respect for those

As Bryan said, some browsers (especially Chrome) add an "s" to the web address. Certain browsers automatically put:

but it should only be:

It's a really minor thing, but it's causing tons of problems. There is no "s" in the address. If you remove the "s" the page will load normally. My advice is to bookmark the page without the "s

Ukraine and Russia have been fighting for almost a decade now and the Israel/Palestinian conflict goes back to 1947.
Sure, there has been conflict, that's not the point and you know it. The point is that WAR started under a feckless and weak US leader. WAR was specifically started during the Biden regime because the rest of the World knows he's a joke.

So why did the non-component classes grow so fast this past decade? There are way more Light Pros and 4.1's than Prostock now. There are way more Light Limited Supers than Light Supers... probably more Light Limited Supers than both light and heavy diesel and alcohol superstocks.
Harsh reality is never pleasant, but the component classes are NOT the classes that have been growing the pa

Sorry to say this, but when they switch to component they should also switch to a 5" charger and completely eliminate the 4.1" class. We don't need a 4.1 and a 5.0 that are both component chassis classes.
Sadly, knowing how this sport loves to create new unnecessary classes they will probably make a 4.55" component class for a few guys that want more power than a 4.1 but don't want

This isn't about preventing every incident. Everyone knows that isn't possible, and that isn't what this is about. This is simply about preventing a known issue that has happened countless times. This is simply about implementing a known solution to a curable problem.
Accidents will always happen. This accident happens repeatedly and when you ignore it that is negligence.

I'd counter with... Have you ever seen a chain break? It can be uglier. However the sport still uses chains... we just make sure they are properly sized.
Also, we're talking about a 3-4 foot (maximum) section of kinetic rope... not a +30' rope doing a huge recovery. Stretch is usually 25-30% so minimal stretch... one foot of stretch would probably be the maximum. It's n

I'm starting to think having a kinetic energy type rope as a second hitch could be an interesting option to absorb some of the energy for something like a mini that has tight space constraints. They make straps that can pull out a Steiger and straps that are designed to pull out UTV's. I think it's a viable solution that would help absorb some of the energy.

IH 5488,
Totally agree. Once people start acting like the pull was/is perfect then why bother improving since it's perfect already and there's clearly nothing to improve. As for the sled resets, I didn't think there were that many and I didn't see them as a real issue. They want to have the best show possible and the closer you try to get to perfection the more minor twe

Well said. It's a known problem and the sanctioning bodies refuse to act. That won't look good in court when it does go poorly. It will also won't look great for sanctioning bodies when the lawyers bring up the fact that there are already engineered solutions out there that could have been implemented.
I hope it never happens but I fear that it's inevitable.

Brake rotor style usually has 3 or more retainers that surround/retain the "rotor" (which is part of the hub assembly). Think of the "retainers" like mini brake calipers that are spaced 120 degrees apart and mounted to a ring to make a small subassembly. The retainer ring assembly (subassembly) is still tethered to the chassis. When the spindle breaks the rotor is retained in the subassembly a

Colin,
Totally agree. When Youngblood went 343 it made me pretty concerned that IF they built a road we'd have tons out the end. I thought it was the right call with such a big class and so many top tier tractor yet to go. Yes, it was a bitter pill to swallow for the Shramek team and yes, they made a great pass but I think if you step back and look at it with the history you mentioned

Thanks, I was wondering what you did. Watching you guys come out of the hole was painful... burning the tires off them with no ground speed and then when the pan dropped and the box topped it was a mess. I'm sure the sled will get sorted out and a weight will be put on the front of the pan or some other adjustment will be made so you guys can actually hook to the track.

It's premature to talk about wheel tethers... sure that front wheel reached cruising altitude and flight attendants on the rim started serving drinks on the tire... however we need to wait until somebody is badly hurt or killed before we actually address tethers.
To just asking... tethers should be attached to the chassis. I'm no engineer but there are numerous ways to design one...

I was really disappointed at the showing of the Light Mod. I think it was a perfect storm from a number of different factors... sled setup, tractor setup for some, track, etc... I still think the class has a ton of potential and I think Vaughn will figure out the setup on the red sl
