Dear Sir,, Bad mouthing the NATPA, is everyones pet peeve!!! LOL Wilder is tuned just fine for what I have it set up for. You are right though,, I do need to hit a few NATPA events this year. In fact I planned on it. But,, what do you see in the div 4 classes these days? Sure Wheeler, Lemmons, and Suzie. But what I was saying is a 460,, down to 3500,, is not antique pulling. Not to me. Sure they hook to the sled and go like the wind,, but what happened to having to have a factory rear end? I can remember,, down in Hartford, and Wilmington, OH, Tractors not allowed in the div5 classes because of the model of the tractor. That was my point. Everyone did want to go by the rules,, but they was changed,, right after the class had pulled, so the same tractors could pull in a class they don't belong in. Frame rail pulling tractors, belong in it's own catagory,, should be an unlimited class,, not division 5. Look at the ATPA, and the NTPA!! all rail frame tractors. Why? because that is where the technology has lead them. Is the NATPA ready for thease kind of tractors? To me,, it is not ANTIQUE pulling,, it is all out unlimited pulling.. Give me the USAP anyday of the week,, rule don't change overnite, just because the big money teams ask the organization to change them for their tractors. Just my opinions,, Old fashioned,, ChadS
