Competition 1st Hook and I am hooked!

[pipeguy]

Had my 1st hook last night and I am hooked... .

Pulled a 244. 7' run...

Had the boxes low as I was not sure what to expect!

Petaled it to 50' then letter out.

Got to the end . . and wanted to do it again to do things different!#@$%!

Next time!

its a slippery slope! watch out!Oo.

 

[jwilliams3]

Yeah watch out... . pulling will take over your life!

I wouldn't want to treat my "regular" truck that way, but buying a serviceable one to use as purely a competition rig could be fun in an area where there are enough reasonably local events to justify the effort and expense...



Glad you had a good time!

It is sooo much fun! I have done some 1/4 mile drag racing, 300' sand drags and pulled a sled with an old 75 Ford 4x4. The problem is nothing like that is close enough.



I did go to Montana twice just to pull against my brother, but I got beat both times:{ I have since changed out and built the rear and front to better compete however I have not made it back yet.

Congrats, I just got my first pull under my belt. If your like me you've probably watched the vid about 100 times. I'm going again tomorrow, and am actually taking a note book with list of things I want to do different. My first time out I was about 500 light and was so nervous I forgot to air down the tires.



Anyway, fair warning, theres no room for anything else once you hook the first time and don't break anything. All I want to do is PULL!!!!!!!!!!!!11
