Re: John Young's front tire - 1 year ago
Brake rotor style usually has 3 or more retainers that surround/retain the "rotor" (which is part of the hub assembly). Think of the "retainers" like mini brake calipers that are spaced 120 degrees apart and mounted to a ring to make a small subassembly. The retainer ring assembly (subassembly) is still tethered to the chassis. When the spindle breaks the rotor is retained in the subassembly aby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: BG Friday Night Pro Stock Class - 1 year ago
Colin, Totally agree. When Youngblood went 343 it made me pretty concerned that IF they built a road we'd have tons out the end. I thought it was the right call with such a big class and so many top tier tractor yet to go. Yes, it was a bitter pill to swallow for the Shramek team and yes, they made a great pass but I think if you step back and look at it with the history you mentionedby Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: Light mods - 1 year ago
Thanks, I was wondering what you did. Watching you guys come out of the hole was painful... burning the tires off them with no ground speed and then when the pan dropped and the box topped it was a mess. I'm sure the sled will get sorted out and a weight will be put on the front of the pan or some other adjustment will be made so you guys can actually hook to the track.by Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: John Young's front tire - 1 year ago
It's premature to talk about wheel tethers... sure that front wheel reached cruising altitude and flight attendants on the rim started serving drinks on the tire... however we need to wait until somebody is badly hurt or killed before we actually address tethers. To just asking... tethers should be attached to the chassis. I'm no engineer but there are numerous ways to design one...by Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum
Re: Light mods - 1 year ago
Todd, Did you make any changes after your test hook? Congrats on making a nice pass on your second attempt. I was really disappointed at the showing of the Light Mod. I think it was a perfect storm from a number of different factors... sled setup, tractor setup for some, track, etc...

If pulling began this century is probably one of the best hypothetical questions on here in a very long time. It’s interesting to try and put yourself in this parallel universe/world.

I'm not talking about anyone's "personal"/private personality (that's part of the disconnect between us). I'm only talking about their public side.

The problem is not competitors and manufacturers. They have always and will always push the limits. The problem is the organizations don't enforce the existing rules.
