I personally think this was the biggest news of the weekend.

I think it would have to be a Big Block JD motor, I don’t think a SBJD would live with three turbos at 640 cubes.

Rocky, Thank for the results, they are greatly appreciated. I would have loved to see the LSS class, and I’m glad to see Esdon get a win against some of the best Light alcohol tractors.

Re: Difference Between methanol and alcohol - 16 years ago
There is no difference, methanol is alcohol. Well, it’s an alcohol (there are many, many different chemical formulas for alcohols), but as far as I know it’s the only legal alcohol to use in pulling. Methanol is also known as methyl alcohol.by Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum

I’m not an expert track builder by any means so take this for what it’s worth… (I was at one point in my life a Geologist that focused Groundwater and Soil contamination for whatever that’s worth)… From that and some feedback I’ve heard through some track builders… organic material can help hold water in soil.

This is probably one of the best classes of LSS tractors ever put together. The event sure looks like it’s going to be an amazing show.

Re: Light PS and Light SF - 16 years ago
I understand your concern, but AC, JD, IH, Ford/NH all easily made the 7500 lb. Super Stock. Most had four turbos and still had plenty of movable weight. Yes some aluminum parts will need to be used to lighten the tractor up, but that’s been happening in this sport for years and years.

Re: Light PS and Light SF - 16 years ago
First, ALL classes are limited! Even the Unlimited Mod and Unlimited Super Stock are limited classes. Don’t let their names fool you. Second, a 510 cubic inch class would allow for all colors to be competitive, and not cater to just a couple of manufacturers. How many Ford Pro Stocks do you see? Not too many! Why...?

Re: Light PS and Light SF - 16 years ago
Just curious… why don't you like the overhead cam on stock heads in Light Pro Stock? If it comes from the factory that way shouldn't you be able to run your stock head? I think the Light Super Farm would grow extremely quickly; there are already a ton of tractors that are close to these limits. ORVTPA and Missouri are already running something similar.

I think Pike will get a better crowd than Hamburg. If the weather is good I’d expect the bleachers on the Pike hillside to be completely full as usual.

I don’t remember the billet block issue ever being resolved. I’m not sure where you got that impression. I don’t even remember this billet block issue being resolved by any one particular class.

Personally I’ve got nothing against decubing. If someone wants to run a IH 550, Cat 573, JD 531/619, Cat 636, or Perkin 640 in a 505 class that’s fine by me. If they can get their motor down to the 505/510 limit then I see no reason to not let it run.by Jake Morgan - Pulling Forum

I’ve talked about this class with my father and a close friend for a few years now.

505 with a 1% variance is 510. (Personally I think the variance is stupid, just make the limit set in stone with no variance, (510 in this case) but that’s a debate for a different thread).

There are a few reasons why I don’t like billet blocks: - I don’t think they will be a long term solution. - I don’t think they will stay brand specific in the long term.

A cast rearend class limits the class to "old" tractors.
