I hear ya. I dont feel sorry for you, but I hear what your saying. Times are changing. Reality is, there is no such thing as a stock tractor, set up to pull in a competition. On the other hand, in deadweight pulling, you will find stockers,, stockers that can kick A$$ and take names later. Heck, I am building a stroker just to run farm stock classes anymore,, I dont wanna do it,, but I feel,, I owe it to them. Anyone can call me a cheater,, but I know if someone protested me for that,, the whole darn class is getting protested cause they run em too. Tires,,, has been a heated discussion all over the US,, fact is,, its better to have a top cut tire. Just cause of the statement you made there,, cause if everyone had em, what would be the argument when you get beat again?? If you was to level the playing field in certain areas,, it will bring peace,, eventually,,,,, Lately, I have been upset with our club,,, In years past, we always have pulled percentage, now, rule changed deemed, that distance will be used. I was not a big fan of that idea, I was more thinking of a tradition issue, but, I guess that it is not the case anymore. It just means I have to change with the times If I want to compete. If you want top cut tires in a hurry,, have a friend, bring over a tractor, heavier than yours,,, hook a chain up to yours, and put your tractor in reverse, have your buddy pull you down the road slowly,, in about a 1/2 a mile, you will have a sharper tire in about 10 minutes! It works! As long as your rules say you can have top cuts. LOL,,, do it inbetween classes if you have a patch of asphalt near by,,, you wanna tick someone off,,, thats the way to do it!! Being tired and angry due to work, well, Im sure we all feel that way, so take that frustration, and put it on the track. Maybe,, since you have quit pulling, you may have became a little more angry,, but,, Rome was not built in a day,, Niether was your pulling tractor,,, Now, was it?? Think about this,,, all the little 10 minute jobs you do to the pulling tractor,, over a 3 year time span, adds up. Soon enough, you would have everything done, with the schedule you have. Sounds like you drive truck,,, maybe you dont,, I did,, 9 years over the road, I made time!!! And, had lots of time to think about what I did to the tractor!! Keep on keepin on. If you have a family to feed, and bills to pay, or whatever the reason is you work 7 days a week, no body can call you a cheater for doing that. JMHO, even if it dont make sence.
