Re: RPM classes - 15 years ago
I’ve got to agree with Eric on this, a Datalogger is pretty cheap insurance that everyone is playing on a level playing field. I don’t think they are expensive either. I’d go to the Builders Directory / Phonebook section of the links page and give “Fair Valley Performance” a call, they are the distributors of the Datalog Peak Performance system.

Factory Support - 15 years ago
I personally think the current rules structure in most national classes is extremely prohibitive to factory support. Almost all factories are turning out 505ish CID tractors and almost all the national classes have rules from 640-680. That’s not a very factory friendly environment. A 505-510 high performance single charger diesel class would be more inline with what the companies currently oby Jake Morgan - Forum

Fair and Reasonable Light Superstock Rules (originally posted on November 21, 2002) - 16 years ago
(originally posted on November 21, 2002) The Light Superstock class has struggled this year on the National level. That doesn’t mean the class is dead, in fact it is extremely healthy in certain regions but it is definitely hurting as a whole. One reason the class is hurting is because there is a lager division between fans and pullers who want the class to be a smaller version of the Unlimiteby Jake Morgan - Opinion

(originally posted on November 19, 2002) Ten years ago a Superstock was a Superstock and pullers could go everywhere they wanted, fans could also hope for a “surprise” national puller showing up at their local events. Now the class is a fiasco. Pullers have lost the ability to test and tune, support their local events, or promote the national circuit.

Fair and Reasonable Prostock Rules (originally posted October 16, 2002) - 16 years ago
(originally posted October 16, 2002) The Prostock class does have its minor share of problems. It’s pretty much a Red vs. Green class. There are a few true Case and a few Massey, one Minnie Mo and One White but that’s not a ton of variety. The only reason for the lack of variety is the cubic inch limit. I’m not quite sure where the NTPA came up with 680, but it definitely seems like an extremeby Jake Morgan - Opinion

Roll Cages (originally posted on 10-24-98) - 16 years ago
(originally posted on 10-24-98) It's my opinion that roll cages should be mandatory in certain classes of pulling. Pulling is far too dangerous a sport without them. I feel that the safety rules and regulations have not kept up with the technology and the amount of horsepower that some of these tractors are making. So how do we decide which classes get the roll cages. I am not sure thby Jake Morgan - Opinion
