Re: Hot Farm is changing - 1 year ago
QuoteSuper farm puller I'm sure glad Brett Hearne, Dale Earnhardt ,Jeff Gordon didn't stay in street stock cars . We would have never known who they were ..or what they stood for in motorsports. They went from the bottom to the top level in motorsports. They certainly didn't start out with money The problem with your logic... the top level in other motorsport makes you money (mby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum

Quote"limit" is key Jake, where does it say a puller cannot do as you suggest? This is the quote I was referring to: QuoteThe Original Michael 2.

Re: Hot Farm is changing - 1 year ago
I've been beating the drum for restrictor tubes for a few decades. I'm not sure why, but for some reason many pullers in the US seem to hate the idea. To me it seems like the easiest and cheapest way to level any playing field while still allowing guys to run whatever turbocharger they want.by Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: WPI. over stepping their boundaries again - 1 year ago
The problem is the rule doesn't allow pullers the option of even switching turbos. If a 4.1 puller or a Light Pro puller wanted to quickly swap to the box charger and run in the class they still can't. To me that's complete and utter garbage.by Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: Hot Farm is changing - 1 year ago
Two questions (technically four for you sticklers out there): 1. What if you're a terrible(or below average) Hot Farm puller? What if you've been in the class for a while but still don't win, should you still be forced to move up? 2. What if your budget doesn't allow you to move up? What if the next step up in your area is Super Farm? Your 466 or 510 probably won'tby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum

I posted the photos from Louisville a few weeks ago but forgot to put a notification here! The photos are just as they came off the camera (and honestly I haven't even had a chance to look at them yet myself, life has been really busy lately) I did have a camera issue on Wednesday night so I didn't get the truck class (sorry about that).

Re: Fendt Prostock - 1 year ago
I know the early Claas came with Deere motors (Claas bought Renault who didn't make very good tractors and Claas wanted a reliable powerplant for their new line of tractors so Deere was a perfect choice). Fendt has been around for a very, very long time but was purchased by Agco back in the late 90's and I don't think they had Deere power, I think it has been MAN for a while now bby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum

Re: Future of the modified class (rule idea for the future) - 1 year ago
QuoteFan 2 I have been to very few pulls in 54 years where any class "top to bottom" puts on a good show. That makes me sad for you. I'll make a positive example of the class that gets the most grief... Super Farm... they almost always put on an excellent show. Distances are always really, really, really close. They always deliver in tight competition... not the most powerful by any meanby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: nfms announcer - 1 year ago
Agree, I think she's great and a perfect part of the team. Those three work so well together, even though I couldn't hear half of what was said (the closed captioning was great...a truly awesome addition, though clearly a band-aid for the poor sound/echo) and you could tell they didn't talk over each other. They had good dialog and they all seemed to work really well together...by Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: Future of the modified class (rule idea for the future) - 1 year ago
I was actually planning on writing about the Mod class but family time after being away came first. Glad you got the conversation started. After watching the Mod class at the NFMS this year I really don't think there's a need for more power. The show was great and the competition was awesome. There was an amazing lineup of tractors and the horsepower was more than enough. Personaby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum

PPL has been a huge asset to the sport and I hope that trend continues for a long time.

Re: PPL Ownership - 1 year ago
I didn't get a chance to talk with John or Kristi in Louisville (I barely saw either of them) and I don't have any inside info but I'd guess that the ownership transaction is still in process. I'd expect at some point we'll get word that John and Kristi are the official owners. How it's structured will be interesting, being majority woman owned might open doors soby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
