Quotelight classes
I realize your “start a new class” was being snide, but it really isn’t that bad of an idea. The jump from LLSS to LSS is HUGE. It is really a complete start over to do this. It seems like there is room between LLSS and LSS for another light class.
I'm not an Outlaws expert, but isn't there both a component LSS class and a cast LSS class that does what you sugg

Don't have a cow. I'm not advocating for the LLSS class at BG; if any classes were added I can think of 1 specifically I would add first, just had a hypothetical question:
Given that many organizations now run the LLSS class, if it were ran at BG, how many would likely show up?

Tom never did me wrong, I have always enjoyed his pulls that I went to, always got paid. I am excited for the future. There is a lot of jealousy in this forum.
A number of pullers have mentioned on this forum over the years that they never got paid money owed by this individual.
If you got all monies owed, good for you. However, calling pullers jealous for voicing opinions about

With advances in technology, it would be nice if a manufacturer camw out with a new v8 for a 2wd row crop tractor. I would hope the weak links in models of decades past such as the IH 1468 would not be an issue.

Here is a nice video tribute to one of the true pioneers- Dave Stangle and the Solid Junk MM G-1000 with a few snippets of other tractors from the mid-70s.
If you are under 50 you didn't get to see him pull, but it would be worth your while to view the video. It would be nice to know just exactly how Ron Perry did the plumbing under the hood.

At noon eastern time on January 20, all pullers, crew, officials, and fans are invited to open a cold one (if your workplace allows). Even fire up your tractor or truck and make some noise or smoke if you like.

ATPA did not exist until the late 90s. SS and mods, 5, 7, 9, and 12 though there wasn't a 12 mod class per se, it was 12 unlimited or open where SS would pull with mods.
A couple pulls ran a 15 SS, Louisville into the '80s but they kept dropping the weight,, and Indiana State Fair through 1976 or so. Minis were an NTPA class approx. ,'73 or 74 onward, FWD added in '76 or so

PPL has announced a brand new class that will move the sport to the next level: the Limited Pro Stock Drone class.
Set to debut at select PPL events on the east coast, the class is sure to be a hit with fans. Teams from Russia, China, Iran, and how shall we say, pharmaceutical teams from Latin America have expressed an interest in the class.
Details like class weight, turbo size, and lower

Given it's an invitational. That said, they could take aspects of the NCAA model and say top X place finishers of PPL, NTPA, and Outlaws get automatic invites should they submit an entry, plus the prior year winner if that puller submits an entry. Kind of like conference champs getting NCAA Bball tourney invites. Maybe 1 hook classes get points champ, 2 hooks is top 2, and PS if they get 4 h

If pulling wants to appeal to non-farmers, maybe it should offer classes for what people actually drive. Therefore, I suggest a minivan class, an SUV class, and for the high rollers, an unlimited Tesla EV truck class.
For the small sleds, a Dixe Chopper class.
Around the north suburbs of Indy, we see more and more Tesla trucks these days. On a non-joking note, if a Tesla-style ev truck had

are you talking about a 12000 open class.
Not exactly. HSTPA had a mixed open class but at a lower weight. Pro Stocks may have hooked in it also. I don't recall if mods weighed 7200, 9200, or somewhere in between.

I have proposed that many times, but each segment would not consider compromise to, I think, make the truck class really exciting...Ford v Chevy v Dodge; smoke v alcohol; NA v blower v nitrous. I am all in favor of a mixed tractor class, too.
Bandit496, do you remember when HSTPA had a mixed open class? I know a SS beat the mods occassionally, but don't remember the weight

So, whatever happened to Laribee?
the super mod 4x4 class could be a fun entertaining class if more was to jump aboard if NTPA ever offered it again.
Imo, the way to go is not add a blown truck class by itself; it's take the Full Pull Productions Run What You Brung class which is the real Pro Modified class in pulling (not what PPL calls their n/a FWD mod class).

I think the class that the ntpa dropped was the fwd blower class. I think all the trucks were from Ohio
In the first version of the class around 1980/81, the trucks had extended wheelbases still seen in Kentucky.
It was not an Ohio-centric class. Temnessee (David Belew, Sonny Mc Mahon among others), Indiana (Joe Plummer, Jim Mowery and others), Kansas (Gary Shue, Dennis Butler

SS and mods have always been classes, but condensed from 4 weights to 1. Minis added in 74 or even earlier. FWD added in 1976. PS 80 or 81. SMFWD 81 or 82. TWD 83. Semis pulled at Indy Super Pull in 1980s but I never saw them in points standings. SF late 90'? SS split late 90s.

When performance gains, many times the next weakest link starts having failures.
For mods, supers, and all variations of pros, which parts do you think will become the weakest link that tend to break more often as performance improves in those classes?

Gene had Shameless for a while now from what I heard? Didn't hear much about him this year other than the pullers championship. Was he out much this year?
I think mostly OSTPA. He has a stable. Lady Butterfly, Twisted Kitty. I think he ran 2 others in past years, not sure about this year.
