Deep pockets do hurt the sport in the limited divisions. Pulling is no different than racing, because it's cubic dollars...and not cubic inches that get you to that 300 foot mark. It's especially too bad in the antique classes, because it isn't so much about the win as it is seeing a good piece of history driving over the governor at the 250 foot mark. What clubs need to do better to maintain the integrity of the antique classes, is to have a standard that applies to all manufacturers of tractors. Max RPM is a start, but why not squeeze test some of these tractors as a bare minimum if they truly are "stock"? We have a dandy pull here locally every year where the same tractors win in the antique class every year. I know the casting # on an LP head for a Farmall...I know two guys are running them...why aren't they disqualified? Stock should be "stock"...if the casting number is ground off, it should be assumed illegal. I think part of the reason is that 90% of the crowd is coming to see the big smokers, and the antique guys are just a "warm up" to that. Point well taken Nat. Thanks! Billy
