Drugs not me ! :-laf Now Greg do a little tunnin and see what ya get then plow the drugs!

 

[Sled Puller]

Did I count 51 hooks? Very respectable numbers! Pulling, do it once and your hooked!

 

[Tcolesanti]

I only hooked 4 times in a row. :-laf :-laf :-laf

 

[cjohnson]

Yeah, as it turned out, we certainly could have stood to limit the quantity of hooks per puller. That will happen from here on out. You have to look out for these sled hogs like Tom :-laf

 

[JGheen]

I only hooked 4 times in a row. :-laf :-laf :-laf

Yeah, I thought for sure you were just trying to break your truck Tom. Rig sure did do good for all those hooks, very consistent.

I wanted to pull, but until I am running a double disk like you guys, the Red Destruction will never see another sled, only the drag strip and Hungry Valley's steep hill climbs.



Joe

 

[RHARVEY]

You guys are doing more than I will. . I break something and it would be #@$%! #@$%! #@$%! from the boss lady! I would really hate to cry in front of you.....

Joe

Thanks Joe, that dually you got rocks!!!!

I really did'nt try that hard to break it. :-laf :-laf However I did manage to hurt the clutch a little, took some doin to get it home. I should have the parts today to fix it... ... ..... then... ... ... ..... pull again Saturday!!!!!!!! :-laf :-laf :-laf :-laf

Thanks Tom, I try to keep it as the baddest dually around. Went to Hungry Valley for the second half of Sunday's activities and climbed some hills. I was just anxious for some action since I didn't get a chance to get on the drag strip that day, so we went and tore the hills up.



Pull Saturday? I thought your next one was the Perris pulls? Isn't that still a couple of weeks? Good luck in the next pull event, make sure you show the DuraCraps that talk all the trash who is boss. :-laf



Joe

 

[Tcolesanti]

Clutch is fixed, ready to pull.



Joe, I'm pulling in Hollister this weekend, and hopefully Perris the next.

 

[RHARVEY]

And yes... Tom will be at my house between those 2 pulls. . He will be getting his hands on helping me install my twins. . Should be fun...

Darn, wish I could go up there with ya for the pull. I am originally from Salinas so I have been to the Hollister pulls many times. Last time I was there though was in '99 with my Big Block powered '71 GMC truck. Don't have that rig anymore though :{

Well, good luck and maybe I'll try and get down to Perris next weekend to see ya kick some *****! :-laf Oo.



Joe



BTW, what was wrong with the clutch? Did you install new disks or something?

 

[MamthTorq]

Clutch is fixed, ready to pull.



Joe, I'm pulling in Hollister this weekend, and hopefully Perris the next.

When and where exactly are you pulling in perris? would not mind watching.

 

[ASchwartz]

Lake Perris

I believe the pulls are near the motocross track in front of the Lake Perris Dam.
