Interesting Post on Truck Pulling Unleashed Website

What is going on down in North Carolina? Are they having trouble getting vehicles at pulls?  I just saw these post on the Truck Pulling Unleashed website today and thought they were interesting.

There are ,but who else has maximized their profit potential recently like Temple?
He has a pretty loyal following of pullers who not only pull with his circuit, but they pay him to build their pulling vehicles, motors, etc. He has plenty of sponsors for the sleds and the circuit and obviously he has a strong relationship with a lot of promoters because he books a lot of pulls. So while you are right he is not the only one he is one of the most successful in recent history. Love him or hate him he is a schrewed businessman. Other clubs and individuals could take a lot of notes on how to make their clubs or the clubs they pull with better.
From the outside looking in he has done several key things:
Allowed pullers to dictate the classes they wanted to run.
Listened to pullers that they weren't interested in traveling all over the country to enjoy their hobby.
Must be fairly easy to work with for promoters and event holders.(Wether that means less expensive or just personable never know).

Everyone can think whatever they want about him as I said love him or hate him but he has done a pretty good job at building a successful multi faceted business in a tough economy.

It is time for all pulling organizations who want to be around in the future to look at all successful organizations and glean the things that have made them successful and use that information to modify their own organizations. Just remember all of us wether we are casual fans, pullers or crew members. We all have a interest in making the sport stronger and more economically sustainable.
So lets not just use this media outlet to bash pullers or promoters or sled operators. Lets use it to open up a serious and productive conversation about how to better the sport that we all have an interest in.
