Nice job,
If you're like me, you are already thinking about what you're going to do next time. Try to keep the variables low and try one or two things at a time. That way you can keep track of what works and what doesn't. Keep a note book if you must. If you do a bunch of stuff to your truck from one pull to the next, and you don't do as good, you may not be able to tell what the culprit was.
I am no pro by any means, but I am taking it slow this year, going to as many pulls as I can, and trying to improve the areas that need it. For instance, I have power, but could use a little more traction. I am putting all my effort into tires, air pressure, hitch location, weight distribution, etc. But taking it one step at a time.
Grab advice where you can. Not everybody is willing to tell you everything, but most will tell you something. Some by accident. Some guys talk a lot, some don't say anything. You can learn a lot by just standing in the pits and not saying a thing. Separate the pullers from the non-pullers. I listened to guys go on and on about what is best for their truck or mine, and then found out they have never hooked. What works on the drag strip won't necessarily be the best for pulling in the dirt, and vise versa, etc. , and so on.
If you plan on branching out to other areas, make sure you know their rules. Apply these to your plan for what you want out of your truck. Don't blow your budget on a big turbo if you can't light it, or it puts you in a class of trucks that are over your head. Don't get those big beautiful tires and rims if you can't turn them. These are just a couple of examples, but I think you get the idea.
Read the posts and watch the videos, on this site. Look at the signatures that people post on this site. This will give you an even better idea of what the mainstream is using to succeed.
A rained out pull is painful, but can be very educational. At a recent pull, I spent hours with other pullers talking and listening, but most important; learning (People tend to congregate when the rain starts to fall, or a pull is delayed. This is a great time to make new friends, and/or develop new sources of info. )
Lastly, truck pulling can be an expensive hobby... .....
DON'T DO THE CRIME, IF YOU CAN'T DO THE TIME:-laf
I can't stop thinking about pulling. It's an expensive hobby, but beats the HELL out of stamp collecting in my book. GOOD LUCK and enjoy the new friends that I'm sure your going to make in this sport.
