Hey JD man thanks for putting some Trout Run shots up there for the world to see, Maybe a couple of Flambeau Red shots next time?? Seen they were having a splendid day. Seen the owners of the hot G's shaking their heads as they headed for the truck.

silverking does that track always pull that way? seems i had plenty of traction till the nose got up im thinkin if i come down to the next pull ill put more weight up front and do alot better by the way i got more pics but they are a pain to post no flambo red ones though lol

the track is pretty consistent usually. there was a real tough spot at the 250-260 foot area and front ends were up there but settled back down if you could get through it. Trout run is an up and coming event and the 6 mph class brings in all but the real outa site rigs. Where do you call your home track.

monroeton is my home track but thinkin about makin a switch just not happy with the way the rules are enforced there is a jd g pulling antiques with a murphies head and its also been offset ground wich wouldnt make a difference if we run a speed limit

Deereman, I like the Monroeton pull with a couple exceptions. The officials refuse to tackle the "cheater hitch" deal which I really object to. As a personal preference I like a more wide open style pull with less restrictive rules. The 3.5 MPH pull is like watching paint dry to me. I wouldn't care if TR made the 6 MPH a 8 MPH class, I just know that DC4 Case of Quigels will run that easily as will Colton's G as they both have to throttle back badly to stay under 6 MPH, and that competetion really livens the crowd up. The ideal solution would be to make divisions as Antes Fort has done although they are not pure NATPA rules. There has to be a place for everyone and all want a fighting chance to win especially travelling far to pull with the price of fuel.

i agree with you on the cheater hitch we have lost some pullers so i think the officials are afraid to speak up unless someone complains as to not drive off any more tractors this is just my opinion by observation though ive been with the monroeton pull since it began in wysox it was a great pull then but is starting to go down hill we lost 6 tractors this year and i know of 2 others that say if the rules dont get changed for next year they are not coming back ive pulled three different tractors with these guys and i cant compete with any of them just dont seem right to me this A im pulling now is border line as far as the rules go so i should be competetive but im not even close
