Turbo tim, that may just push Gene over the edge. LMAO





I will have pics up as soon as I get the finished product coated, with the holidays it may take 2 weeks though.



Kirk, however these loops will work just fine for drag racing, they may be a touch overkill. They are designed for sled pullers, and meet the most demanding rules we have to date. I will post more information when I post the pics in the next few weeks.





Rob

Thats good Rob cause im a sled puller not a drag racer . Can you pm me with some more info like price & ordering info & some pictures when you get them. Kurt.

[Sled Puller]

As I was putting the finshing touches on "SledPuller,03" video, (ie: deleting Rob Thomas)



I noticed something that I had for got happened.



Cseverson, picked a Rob killer gear, but did not have the motor for it. So he had to stop. The sled DID NOT!!

OUCH!:--)

 

[csevers]

The only damage I got down there

was a bent DMI hitch bar it is 1 inch thick and 3 inches wide and it bent, I would asume when the sled kicked me in the rear and some small marks on the bumper around the lic plate.

My trans is marked 1-2-3-Rob killer gear-5-6 ya right!! Until I can run in 4th low side or 2nd high side I will not be real happy or competitive. So I have some work to do for next year.



Do Ya realize it has been a WEEK and I have not seen the video of the pulls I NEED that video bad I am starting to shake and am going in to shock with out some more pulling videos!!!



I need to study up so I can get better next year. Hopefully there are several angles of photos taken.



Still in withdrawls

[bighammer]

I think the full pull pic looks pretty good. I took all the writing off of it so it's much clearer.

 

[jtisdale]

Dont feel bad Craig

Remember in Lancaster (when I couldnt get around the tractor at the end)? When I finally did clutch it, my truck was pulled down so hard, it actually jumped up and backwards enough to smack the sled.

No damage though...

:--) :--) That's gonna leave a mark! :-laf

 

[Sled Puller]

Actually, I did video my first hook.



I was embarressed, 6 out of 8 trucks, but after seeing some of the newbies hook to the sled since, I was awesome!!



Reviewing that tape, you can tell I was heading for greatness!!!!



If I would have bought a good clutch right off the get go, I would have been a year ahead of where I am now.



Learn form my mistakes, ROOKIES!!!



Oh wait. , Rob did this last year, maybe he is a 2 year rookie?

 

[Sled Puller]

However, the hook on that link was maybe about my 10th hook, second year.

Thats the clutch that replaced the Centerforce, what a bargain.
