Which is why the 15/17 combo works. Not much difference, but it makes all the difference.


Pulling is probably 40%-50% experience. You just can't be taught that. You have to be able to read the track, know the ability of your tractor...... Racing is the same way. FWIW, I've seen guys with good machines on the track who just didn't know how to drive them. Consequently I've seen guys with lesser machines win just because they were better at what they did, not because they had the better machine. It's a game. The only way to learn how to play is to do it..... Just because you have a good built machine, doesn't mean you'll win.
