QuoteOld time puller
I'd say that with the turbo that are running and the fact you are 3000 rpms, I'd say that you are in the ballpark. Just my opinion.
I would agree with that depending on what kind of camshaft he has.

We've run 50w,60w and now 70w. We have 2 extra on mains for clearance and 1 extra on the rods for clearance. We've tried more clearance didn't help. Yes we have oil heaters and we've run it with cold oil and warm oil still issues. We have done everything know to man with different filter setups and micron filters. My question is mostly related to brands of oils

Personally I don't think there should be closed pits at any event. You can go to the largest pull in the world (Bowling Green) and wander around in the pits. You should be able to wander around in the pits at EVERY event. If BG can do it I'm sure every regional/state/brush pull can manage to do the same.

A cast rear end tractor isn't a LSS.
They are actually known as a fat tire supertique.
The only groups to have that specific class is the Outlaws, and the NATPA. (Division 5).
Cast reat tractors are allowed in NTPA and PPL. But they don't build a little pond for them.
Hey now wait a minute. lol

I am located in east central Illinois by 74 and Indiana state line. Our local association Iliana tractor pullers does not have a 4.1 class. To help them gain traction with this I’d like to do a large cash prize winner take all mid August for $4k. How many limited pros would be interested in this.

Pulling for money???
People don’t like pulling when most people go home with no money. Most people have a long drive for only 1 vehicle to go home with money…winner take all is a terrible purse/payout format. Go out and get more sponsorship money and maybe charge $1-$2 more for admission to bump up payouts throughout the field.

If you’re familiar with the NTPA rulebook, drawings of your chassis have to be submitted to tech. One of those rules that is in there but given very little if any teeth. .
Amen on that!!!!! Drawings must be submitted. Materials that you make the chassis out of don't have to be.

I am unsure if it is a true component or not, but it doesn't have outboard planetaries if it is. Red Line Fever, Diggin' Fever and those running the Doc rearend have inboard planetaries as well. I do agree with OH1979er that I have seen numerous outboard planetaries blow and the tire stays on.

As a fan who has taken in shows from all 3 organizations here, I want to comment on the Outlaws mod thing. With the exception of maybe a super national unlimited pull where the really big boys come out, I MUCH prefer watching an Outlaws mod class for the variety. Another fantastic mod class to watch is the ITPA light mods. I'd take watching turbines vs allisions vs automotive an

It's not what it was 20 years ago but that's just a result of Illinois itself not the ITPA. Hard for anyone to book pulls when there is no money.

Apparently, Supertiquer and HP do not consider NTPA LLSS rules to be "national" rules.
When people use the word "national" in this discussion, they're typically meaning something closer to the word "unified."
Not one organization running 6,000 pounds, another running 6,250, and yet another running 6,500 pounds...

Wasn't there. However IF they did tell Jason ( and all the other drivers) that they are running a floating finish line and then reset the sled then clearly it was not right, nor fair. My opinion.

If promoters try to dictate the actual on-track performance in any sanctioned class, that shows a lack of integrity for the promoter, and if the sanctioning body acquieses, that is a lack of integrity
