The upcoming pull at Morehead, KY is being rescheduled for November 8-9 to introduce a game-changing innovation to the world of motorsports. Buffalo Turbine, as a new sponsor is partnering with the ATPA and VTPA to develop the first-ever tubeless smoke machine.
Since 1945, Buffalo Turbine has been a pioneer in supplying the original, best, and most powerful turbine debris blowers and dust/odor control systems on the market. Proudly made in America, their turbine products are manufactured at their facility in Springville, New York.
Throughout the season, Buffalo Turbine will be on display at several ATPA and VTPA events showcasing their products and be used for various tasks. The decision to reschedule the Morehead event was made to highlight the revolutionary capabilities of the tubeless smoke machine, which promises to transform indoor pulling and other indoor motorsports.
Tests conducted in Russellville showed the need for an advanced portable smoke extraction solution, particularly in venues with lower ceiling heights like at Morehead. Without an effective system in place, air quality would be compromised, posing safety risks to participants and spectators alike. Buffalo Turbine’s tubeless smoke machine addresses this challenge head-on, significantly improving air quality and ensuring a safer, more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
“This system will revolutionize the sport of indoor pulling and other indoor motorsports,” said Tom McConnell, CEO, and founder of ATPA and VTPA. “The smoke extraction systems currently in use have used the same overall design since the early 1970s. Our vision, which I have had since childhood, is to innovate and push the boundaries of what’s possible. With Buffalo Turbine’s collaboration and expertise, we are well on the way of realizing that vision.”
The tubeless smoke machine eliminates the need for cumbersome tubes, providing pullers with greater flexibility and freedom of movement. It also allows for more venues to be able to host smoker classes that for fifty years have been mostly limited to outdoor venues or indoor arenas with a powerful extraction system.
The system is currently undergoing development and testing, with plans to debut at Morehead this fall. This marks a significant milestone in the evolution of indoor motorsports, promising unprecedented levels of performance and excitement.
