Anyone, besides me, tired of these rule changes we are seeing in the DHRA and TTTPA?

No kidding - that thought crossed my mind!

What do we need, besides a few venues, "officials", a rule book (our favorite part), a fat insurance policy and a Sled (gotta admit it'd be fun to build one! )

I'm in..... but don't forget that we need honest to goodness sponsorship. I mean, it's fun and all that, but if you want a good show you have to make it worth the trouble. Just like at the nationals in Baytown, I would have given a lot more if the purse was worth breaking for. Buck ran as an exhibition and it ended up costing him more than what he would have won for first place.

If you tailor it for the masses, there'll be enough money!

I believe the TTTPA is finished.. and I have not heard of any pulls for the HWH sled... The TATPA.. (Texas Antique Tractor Pullers Assoc.) is having a pull in Seaton, TX next weekend. (Seaton is Just East of Temple about 5 miles.) They do not have a class for trucks... but normally let anyone pull.. We we're thinking of taking the truck to try a different pump....

Hey guys, If you would all like to be a part of the TTTPA and be a part of setting up some rules they way that you want them... You should be at the November 10th meeting. (There are directions and a schedule posted in the forum section of our website www.tttpa.com.)
If you would not like to be part of it and would rather go for it on your own, I would completely understand. We'll drop the class and wish you guys the very best of luck. We were only trying to give you guys a place to go pull for a purse and have a set of steadfast rules.
Just let me know what you think...

Thanks
David Templeton
