It's the first year for the 4.1's at BG and the Blue Shirts were concerned that they wouldn't have enough parking spaces if every 4.1 tractor came out of the woodwork and wanted to be part of the inaugural season.
Personally I have pretty mixed feelings about it, but the fairgrounds are only so big and haulers seem to be getting bigger and bigger so it's a good idea to be c

Thank you. I am trying to take a moment every session and remind myself that I get to do this and be appreciative. As a team we are tighter and better and I can't do it without everyone around me every week. It takes a team. If it was all over tomorrow (and I pray it isn't), I'll be thankful that I got to do it. I'm glad the passion and my nerdiness comes through

We run OSTPA. They have had all the sleds we run go and get at least a few of the weights weighed at a certified scale. Then they use them to load on the scales and do a formula to get the corrected weight. Its not perfect but has made it way better than it was before.
This should be a requirement for ALL sleds. This is the most logical answer. It's not perfect but

I agree, a direct quote or a clip from the podcast would be nice.
This feels like jealousy and just bashing Adam for the sake of bashing him and that's against the page rules. Please post a quote or a clip of him saying or inferring any of the accusations you made. Otherwise post your name. Somehow I have a feeling that you'll do neither.

Even some of us curmudgeons with smartphones don't want tons of apps on our phones . I use my laptop and the browser on my phone to see results and probably wouldn't ever use an app. Hopefully the future developments will slightly prioritize browsers over apps since that's the primary way NEW fans will initially interact with results.

Sometimes the truth strikes a nerve.

Maybe. That assumes someone knows what to leak. What if John and Kristi were told that the IHRA stuff wouldn't impact them and it would be business as usual for PPL? What would they leak then? What if IHRA told them something very specific and the leak would have been obvious? What if a leak would have put them personally liable financially?
There are so many unknowns and ALL of it i

First, read this post: Everyone acts like John and Kristi can just say and do whatever they want. I doubt they have that much leeway.
Second, John and Kristi are employees. They are not the boss.
Third, you're hiding behind John H but you put a fake email address and you're calling someone else a coward? Do you see the irony there?

Hey Mr Morgan your one to talk about people bashing the high stakes events.
First, this thread isn't about bashing the High Stakes Event... this thread is about bashing John and Kristi. Bash away at PPL and IHRA if that makes you feel good. There's plenty of complaints on this page about IHRA/PPL and there have been plenty of complaints about PPL on the past. If this page

I love a good PPL event (big improvement at Goshen) and I love A good NTPA event. Every business makes mistakes. Every business has negative things that happen beyond control. Somebody made a decision to allow IHRA to purchase/lease PPL. It was the wrong decision. We all make wrong decision and need to face responsibility for our wrong decisions.

bring back pulloffs and go from there.
I've been saying this for years (and not just because of the name of my website!). One and done classes just add fuel to the "burn it down" mentality. If you know you have to run twice at every event I guarantee guys with any brain power will make their tune a little milder.

They are employees now. They don't have free reign to just say anything they want. I agree that IHRA (PPL) should put out some info or a press release or something like that. It seems like awful communication if you ask me. It seems like a pretty reasonable request to put something on their website. I just can't fault Kristi or John (or Bryan) when I don't know how tied their

Mark,
I agree with almost everything you said. The only thing I don't like is making 30.5 tires both the minimum and maximum. It would be like making 4 turbos the minimum and maximum. But that's just my opinion and I completely respect yours.
There was a time when the NY Super Stock class was one of their best classes. You had variety and guys that could go to national events

I'm 100% aware of Wisner, NE. Just because there is another pull that weekend it doesn't change my opinion. I think MidSouth has scheduled against BG too and there is one of the most historic pulls in my home state (Pike) that weekend too. Still doesn't change how best to promotor the sport.

Honestly, If you want to truly grow the sport... No, nothing else should be on the Bowling Green weekend.
Should the NFL schedule other games against the Superbowl? Maybe put the Pro Bowl on that night in a different location? Maybe an alumi game that night a couple of states away? Probably wouldn't be wise for the NFL to do that. It's not a good idea to compete against yourself.

avercusauto,
I actually agree with both you and Under_Pressure. A "good enough" attitude is a terrible thing, but changes for the sake of making changes isn't good either. I agree we should be constantly looking to improve in every aspect of the motorsport. However, this motorsport keeps looking to improve by some magic bullet, rather than small incremental improvements that will make

I don't think ANYONE is hoping for failure in pulling. That doesn't change the fact that some things are destined to fail. Sure some ideas work and that's great, but many things don't work.
If my son decided he was going to take the AP French exam for seniors in high school I wouldn't hope for his failure... but I would expect it. Mainly because he's going into

The weather looks promising this weekend. Hopefully the morning rain showers are light and just enough to make a good power track by the evening. This is one of those events that I hope continues to grow and I hope to attend someday.

I was saddened to hear the news about Dave passing away. He was a really nice guy. He always went out of his way to chat with my father and I at Louisville. He'd harass me about something on the page and we'd always have good conversations. He will be missed by a great deal of friends and fans. Prayers for his family and

Both Bondi and Noem were poor choices. Bondi should have been fired months ago for her fumbling of the Epstein files. Trump has done a great job picking Vance and Rubio but way too many of his other choices have been a little suspect.

I suppose that on common sense. Again, its purely hypothetical but if the NTPA was asked to be a sanctioning body for Louisville... one of the biggest pulls in the world... a crown jewel in the world of pulling they would find a way to make it work and have the pull. The ONLY ways to do that would
