Can you post the pictures? If not, can you give a complete detailed description? But, a pictures worth a 1,000 words.

With eneough pictures we could start another thread.

I am researching semi tractor pulls. How about lining up a conversion against an actual semi truck? Can you see a side by side pull off?:--)

If I find any info on the big truck sled pulls I will publish them. Oo.

Maybe an invitation to Muncie as a taste?

One thing I have found is that the big-time tractor pullers and BigRig pullers don't have much on their websites.....



They're like the Amish... . they don't like having their picture taken... . and they don't use technology the way we do.



The Amish are truly amazing people and make AWESOME furniture/barns..... so the big-time pullers are justified in keeping quiet if they choose.



The information hungry 21st century internet user will have to get their information the old fashioned way: smoke signals, attending events and hollering.



No flames intended... .

Matt,

Your area has some really great truck action! The thought of Big Rig & Diesel pickup trucks on the same sled pulling event is awesome!Oo.

I wonder how long before they pull thier sled into Chicago?

Dude, Chitown isn't too far away from PA, OH, IN... . if you can't find at least two pulls a week in that area - you're not looking hard enough!

Matt,

It seems that the best pulls are going on during the recent winter storm. The rest of the year all the pulls seem to be TDR sponsored or at the county fair. I've read a recent article about some 1,000 hp big trucks but they gave no web site. As soon as I find thier schedule I will pas it on.

If anybody knows of anything else, let it be known.
