some of those boys need some help. Check out the dude on the sled he is wearing a helmet and neckbrace.

Why is it they can't seem to get past the 100 foot mark? And if they do it's like the sled operator pull the shut down cable?

also help me understand why they are [ulling the front end up at the start and then it settles down about half way? is that the track conditions causing this?

 

[TractorNut]

A friend from Germany said they the track was really tacky. . stalling many of the tractors. . and the sled was not the best. . Maybe too heavy starting out???

i believe the full pull is at 100 meters - not 100 ft.

If you watch, allot of the tractors had weights hanging back by the rear tires, they basically try to get the front tires picked up off the ground so that all of the weight is on the rears but not so high it goes onto the wheelie bars. They run similar stuff at the fairs around here, it doesn't matter if it's a soft or hard track the front end is usually going to be in the air. Plus those tracotrs are close to 8,000 lbs, with that big of a tire they are going to get some serious traction.
