QuoteDick Morgan
Of course the pullers are a huge part of equation, and I8 do appreciate the time and money they put in to build and pull their vehicles. However the fans are why the sponsors support the sport, not because they love pulling, its to sell their product to the people that buy tickets and sit in the stands. No fans, no promoters.

How many would retire or change classes? Would any new blood join a class where it was allowed?
If EFI was legal, which tractor classes? Should it be GN only or across the board? The tech is there with a potential to save parts.
As far as I'm concerned as a state puller it could be allowed across the board. But my question is how many new people would that brin

while you make a point, I feel the need to point out that there are 3 LLSS tractors in the top10 in points in outlaw LSS AG so as for "not competitive" I'd say that's not always the case.
Do they all weigh the same?

How good is PPL's insurance? Just asking
It’s not worth having to be quite honest. The last round of letters sent out to competitors to sign and hold PPL harmless/release from all liability literally stated that by signing this you are signifying that you have accident insurance on your vehicle in case of an on track incident that leads to a by stander being injured.

I was 6th puller in that class. No one before me took that long to hook up. There was only one jd that pulled after I did and I never heard any one or anything about him taking "maybe taking 10 minutes". Are you absolutely SURE about the time it took? If it's who I think it is then he is a friend of mine and I applaud him for coming over and helping our class out as he is a per day member.

It's running ok since I was able to get it back out 1/2 way through the season. Now it doesn't run like a "national" tractor and I'm ok with that competing at a state level.

Come on people. Regardless if you think this person is trueful or not berating him/her is not a great thing to do. If they are new to the sport and now they getting turned off by you guys running your mouth is sickening to me. A lot of people (myself included) bust our tails to try to bring people into the sport.

A simple Google search and combing through 6-8 hits is what led me here. I strongly disagree with not finding a message board as a new comer. Where else is a guy supposed to go to ask some questions when he has no friends in the industry so to speak? After seeing some of the stuff here it’s made me very hesitant to approach the infield with the pullers. I’m hoping I

I'm always confused when someone says " did you offer to help ".. NO, when you go to Walmart and the checkout lines are backed up do you open up another line and start checking people out, of course not. It's ridiculous to say the least.

As a puller, we are tired of it to and wish they would cut some classes. The 5.0 class killled 4.1 in region 2
You nailed it right there. Too many classes actually hurt the sport. Now there will be many that disagree with me and I'm ok with that.

My rants for the weekend, ticket prices are pushing the limit. Yeah everything is more expensive but can you imagine bringing a family of 5 for an afternoon or the weekend? It will break the bank with the price of tickets and a burger.

With only 4 PS's showing up at a recent PPL CT event ( this in no way is intended to bash PPL or any other national organization ) do national championships really matter? Would most pullers rather win a ring at BG or be the winner of the NFMS? I realize that the Simon's event was a "one of a kind event " so I'm pretty sure $50k in the bank account is a rather enti

I will correct myself, although I have never seen an alcohol fuel test, I talked with a longtime NTPA tech official and he said in fact that an alky test was done back in the day (Fort Recovery) and even declared that one competitor was disqualified at an event for too much water content in the fuel.

I wouldn't worry to much about the diesel fueled vehicles, but the alcohol ones......let's just say in my years of pulling I don't ever remember seeing an alcohol fuel test. And there has been some really funny smelling alcohol fumes--not just grape or cherry essence.
You must not have ever been to any large caliber pull then. It’s quite common.

Yes they will survive many hooks. I've never had any problems on my 360 and it's set at 285 to 300.
What oil and pressure do you have ? We use 15/40 oil with around 60-70 psi and we spun one fairly quickly.
I run 60W but I pre heat it to 180 degrees. At least that's what we shoot for. When we leave the line at about 5500 rpm, oil pressure is 110 and we run a lot
