Wildman, We got the same thing happening in our club. What our club decided to do is totally eliminate classes under 4500lbs! We used to have it 0-4500lbs, now it starts at 4500, no one and I mean no one asked any of us in those affected classes to make such a drastic change to classes we pull in. We also pulled percentage,, now its changed to distance, so now forced to pull out of our weight classes due to no classes below 4500. Pullers, not even in our light classes are making the rules in our classes, thinking it will bring in more tractors,, well, all it did was force us to consider dropping down a division with our modified tractors, which would be a farm stock class. My opinion of having to consider this, is that makes me out to be a cheater!!! Our modified tractors have stroker cranks in them, bored out etc etc, and be put in classes that are stock, well sort of stock,,, But Im not one to put a stroker tractor in a farm stock division, and think to myself,, HMMM, Im winning honestly!!! No sir! What would you guys do, if your weight class was eliminated, no other options to pull other than totally redesign your modified tractor to run in stock classes? A,, you could run a farm class, be called a cheater, B,,, Find a new place to pull,, C,,,,leave em home. D,,, fight to get your classes back. Do I feel bad about pestering the board about this? No. They already took their modifieds and put em back in farm stock. Look at me!! Im a winner! Im just not that way. Rule changes that affect the whole club,, should be a member vote, and those who want rule changes that affect others classes should not be allowed. They want to make rules to make em winners, then by all means, change classes that they pull in, not come down to my class and force me into the heavy class. JMHO, ChadS
