Competition hanging weights in the street diesel class(yes or no)

[silver03]

What is your opinion on hanging weights in the street diesel class??? I feel a street diesel class should not be aloud to hang weights on a truck or be trailered in. I don't see people driving on the street with weights on. I heard some complaining about so many truck in the street class and maybe this would bump some trucks into the mod class. I am not complaining and don't want to start anything, but I was just wanted some opinions from other puller.

Let em hang'

Some trucks would be too light to compete in the street without weights.



IMO

should be allowed to hang weights,you dont see people pulling a sled down the street either but thats what were trying to do. If you dont want people to trailer trucks then you dont want people to come to a pull. People who trailer are just people who dont want to walk home.

i agree. i trailer my street truck to and from pulls because i have had to bum a ride home to many times because of broken parts. that sucks! as for the hanging weights. imo it is the only way that a reg cab truck can compete with an ex cab long bed. if you stack 600 lbs in the cab of a reg cab and 600 lbs in an ex cab lb it's just not the same. anybody can build an easily removable weight rack. jmho. i am not trying to start anything else. nick

my weight rack is my winch plate btw. works really well.

Its not a stock class.



Even at moderate power levels, the Cummins has a nasty(but cool) habit of lifting the the left front, therefore putting more strain on the right rear.



Weights may actually help prevent breakage, by distributing the power more equally-at least thats what I keep telling myself.





Our local club has tried to enforce a no trailer rule for years, people just onload down the street.

It got so heated, lawyers were talked about. It was $80 to win.

Silly gassers!LOL

Street class Yes

Stock class NO



As far as hauling it in. Who cares. The Street class should just be renamed the Small single charger class, not too many trucks running small chargers that aren't street legal. Dean

I dont care one way or the other about the weights but you definitly should be able to trailer your truck in.

Come on guys I don't hang weights (yet) and tow a trailer with a truck on it in, and still pull in the street or what ever class I want to pull in. Of coarse I don't win either so maybe I need to rethink what I have been doing. No weights or trailering in a True Stock class, Street Class almost anything goes because peoples deffinition of "streetable" is way different.
