Goshen (CT) amateur sled pulls

[Signal73]

We in CT had some good 'ol amateur sled pulls at a local fair today. When I say amateur, it was a understatement:-laf The transfer sled was made out of an old ford (i think?) cabover, and a mafia block. Track prep consisted of a army of guys with rake's :-laf

All in all we had a good time and put on a good show for the crowd.

Some vid's from some of the local's:

Found out that my son Mike was there also. Said he tried one pull but was then afraid he's break something... didn't feel like fixing the Dodge again.

what day and truck?

 

[JLEONARD]

Not sure what day... he probably had his 05 maroon 4 door, with an exhaust that is pretty loud. (Or it could have been his blue 94)

That was a lot of help wasn't it??:-laf:-laf

It looks like that track was about 30 feet long

 

[Signal73]

I think it was 150' def not pulls like out west :-laf

 

[Diesel Dummie]

yes he had white axles, if anybody videoed him let me know please id like to see it, DD

 

[Signal73]

Either he had pulled by the time I got there or didnt pull at all. I think he had a ox locker in the front? Oh well clean truck anyways.

 

[JacobsD]

I saw that truck, it looked pretty sweet. I saw him pull and he did pretty well.



I think I was mostly jealous because if I had my axles painted white, they'd be black again within a couple weeks from all the oil dripping down :-laf
