Competition Dodge! Dodge! Dodge! Dodge!

Competition I need performance advice.

Ok here is the deal, we sponsor a pull. I have never pulled, excuse was I needed a clutch. So usually I sit on the stand and drink my beer and write down the distance and hand out the money... . been easy. Well now that I have a clutch in I am holding true to our club that I will pull in Sept.



This is going to be the only time I pull, ever, so I need a few pointers, what frickin gear do I need to be in? I have not a clue, and I don't wanna be to high or for all that matters too low.



Our track is clay and stays fairly moist through out the night, not too many parts ever break there, maybe a U-joint or 2, but that is the extreme of it. I will post next month where it is, cause I need as many CTD as possible, I am sick of giving the Dura Slackers top prize money.



So any advice will greatly be appreciated. Thanks Jim.
 
Nobody else has responded yet, so FWIW, here is the advice I got when I asked a similar question:



Pull in 4LO 3rd gear.



Take it up to 3000-3200 RPM, then slip the clutch 'til it hooks up.



Keep the wheels spinnin'.



STOP - QUIT- SHUT DOWN if you start to hop.



Unfortunately, I've only "read" about this stuff and haven't put it into practice. Hopefully somebody who has actually hooked before will respond.



Hope this helps,



Dave
