JIM MILLER JOINS NTPA AS EVENT PRODUCER

Worthington, OH -- WPI/NTPA has signed veteran event manager, track official, and track builder extraordinaire Jim Miller (Bellevue, OH) as a member of the NTPA Team. Jim has more than four decades of experience, and will continue to work with fairs in Ohio hosting an NTPA National Event in 2008. For those fairs counting on Miller’s expertise with track building and management of the crew, he is exclusively working under the NTPA flag.

“I look forward to serving those Ohio fairs that I have in the past, as we move forward working with the NTPA,” began Miller. “The NTPA has been the backbone of the sport for nearly 40 years and the standard when it comes to safety and rule making. I have always seen myself as being a part of them through the NTPA member state structure. As the summer came to a conclusion, I realized that I needed to decide which road to take. I am eager to continue that path with the NTPA that was started many years ago, and am a firm believer in the safety aspects in place for pullers and promoters and the quality K&K Insurance that NTPA provides. I am ready to continue to build power tracks that help assist putting on impressive shows for all involved, and look forward to continuing this endeavor for promoters through the NTPA.”

“Jim Miller is one of the most respected names in the sport of pulling,” said David P. Schreier, WPI President/CEO. “The promoters, pullers, and fans in the state of Ohio know what a ‘Miller power track’ is and enjoy partaking in the action. With NTPA actively looking to sanction more pulling events in the state of Ohio, we are very pleased to add him to our organization and respected staff of professionals. Jim Miller brings to Ohio fairs a standard of excellence in track building and conduct of events that integrate into the mission of the NTPA, which is first and foremost, to conduct high quality, fair pulling competition to all facets of the sport.”
