with all the older footage shown, they could have surely found a Jay Fuqua run from in the past to show when his son won or even during the class, with a win in the 12 back in 81 to pulling two tractors later on they could have shown one run for the crowd like the folks behind me who had no idea who they are.

personally I thought there should have been 6 in the pulloff but I understand the thinking, just don't like having to ram the sand pile to make the pull off. Congrats to Jacob excellent job driving.

I thought about this some as well, I bought a ford back in the day for my first vehicle because they were sponsoring tnt I think at the time, bought Big Ben work clothes when they sponsored the Banters. Bought my first Wranglers when they were an Ntpa sponsor. Sorry didn't buy any Copenhagen or skoal nor levi garrett or red man. currently bought a set of general tires at more cost than the "

I don't know of this big of a purse but several years ago Mike Hoff but up a substantial purse for the Mod fwd class and none of the really big hitters had or would take the time to show. Didn't Jerry Read and the Henry pull put up 5k to win and only had 10 or so tractors willing to try for that. Maybe I am wrong but the main reason for the lack of purse is that we as a pulling communi

no no no no I don't know who applied and who didn't but I bet lots more don't get in than do but only way to get there is to apply. somehow griping without knowing who all sent in an application is interesting but useless.

It wasn't too large just a few short years ago til the alky guys all wanted the rule change in ppl. I don't know why they asked for the rule to state 505 for both fuels as it would have been interesting to see someone try a pro stock style motor.

I voted that I would be there either way but in my heart, I will always love the pulloff, especially when there is some good buildup from the announcing crew. I have promoted and done it both ways and sometimes when there is a time crunch floating a finish is absolutely a must. Sometimes it works better throughout the night to have a mix of both outcomes.

For the record pro stocks can be 680 plus 1% , it would be interesting to see someone get a pro to hook at 6200 since they were on here not long ago stating that the ability to hook a pro was being compromised at 10000.

when you get a sponsor of this magnitude the company isn't doing it to fund your tractor; it is to move more of their product and the paint scheme is a big part of the promotion. If mother deere is offended pony up the money and I am sure it can be painted like a factory deere, or if some private individual wants it to look original write the big check and make it happen.

R51794 is the same plate, I hate to be argumentative but if it fits a 3020 it will fit the 4010/20. I have personally put a 4010 motor in a 3020 and it did not need an adapter just longer rails and a longer hood. Looked into putting a 2640 motor but found a good buy in the 4010 motor. The adapter would work for that as well just decided to go the other way. If you really want the 300 series get
