Cost per run? - Yesterday

This varies by class, but what is an average cost per pass for different classes? Mods, DSS, USS, PS, trucks, mini, etc? For experienced pullers, what was the average cost per pass in your class when you started running in that class?

70 hot farms under one roof - 7 weeks ago

The Shipshewanna entry list has 70 Hot Farms split into 3 heats. Other classes, like LLSS, are very thin with 10 or fewer entries. Of note, there appear to be a few more 5.0 Pros than I expected.

How many events should a Champs Tour or GN tour have? - 7 weeks ago

I used "events" instead of "hooks" because most but not all CT/GN events are 2-hook per class, multi-day affairs. Of course this may differ by class, but in general, how many events is reasonable for a national points series, in your opinion. ("Trip" and "event" could be synonyms) Is 8-10 reasonable? Should it be limited to 5-6 trips? # of hooks would be nearly double the # of events except

No qualifying in pulling - 7 weeks ago

QuoteDeere Puller IMHO this is more like the points chasers getting to qualify as a group in NASCAR or NHRA. In the race(s) everyone is running at the same time, qualifying is when track condition changes could make a big change in results because they are competing against each other, but at different times and potentially different track conditions. ... except the new NTPA rule is not qualif

Why this rule is a trainwreck - 7 weeks ago

As someone without a dog in the fight, this rule seems illogical, especially compared to other motorsports. Even in series with an regular season/playoff format (NASCAR, NHRA), the ones battling for the points are not starting the race together (NASCAR) or racing in designated qualifying spots (NHRA); those drivers have to qualify and start wherever on the grid (NASCAR) or ladder (NHRA) their

Historical pulling question - 8 weeks ago

Anyone who was around in the early days- When NTPA started, classes were 5,7 9, and 12. Sometime in the 1970s, it became 5500, 7500, 9500, and at some point didn't the 12 SS become 12,200? Why did the 5,7, and 9 increase by 500 lbs? Did guys want to make it easier for their 4010s to make the 5 and 1066s to make the 7?

Re: Associations in Bowling Green - 8 weeks ago

QuoteTomah winner I have been watching some videos from the old days and the new from Bowling Green, and I've noticed that NTPA hasn't had Bowling Green all the years. Can somebody please give me a timeline of who ran Bowling Green at what point in time? Did USHRA ever have it? Is USHRA the same as RED MAN TNT at the time? NTPA sanctioned BG through 1986.

Re: So what are the new rules? - 2 months ago

Wasn't the meeting on 9/15? If there are 1 or 2 proposals that aren't decided, advise such and post the ones that have passed or failed. This question is not a criticism, just an honest question: Is the decision on when to publish new rules solely up to Marvin? The NTPA President? A board or committee? How is the process supposed to work?

Like I said, different regions/areas and different club/association dynamics are what drives the different weight limits. Just back off and leave it alone.

Cost of top running Div V tractor? - 2 months ago

QuoteYup Current top tier antiques have way more technology and innovative in them than the cookie cutter 466 classes. 700+ cubed D466's, 800 ci rd 501's 1000+ ci G jd's. Hd800's over 1300. All running 3000rpm or more. Out of curiosity, what would be a good ballpark guess for the cost of a top running Div. V tractor?

New builds for 2024 - 2 months ago

Who is building new vehicles for 2024? Thus far, rumors have Bill Voreis and Matt Cain. I believe both are supposed to be triple-engine mods, but I haven't heard if the two tractors are running an 8-71 RN, 14-71 GN, or screw unlimited setup. The Olden team is building a new JD DSS. I assume Adam Bauer's SS shouldbe done. Who else is building? Who is retiring or changing classe

NTPA modified proposals- radial and turbines - 2 months ago

One thing that makes zero sense to me over the years is the lack of consistency in the mod rules. The Radial Reactor tractor should be legal, period. I'd like to know the thought process behind not allowing radials at all class levels. In Europe they've successfully ran for years. To quote the late Dennis Johnson, "it's either legal or it isn't." Variances are crap rules. I
