[HOSS]

Ok guys the first pull of the season for our local Pacific Northwest Truck Pull Association is May 8th in Lynden Washington.

it will be at the same location as last year (Berthusen Park)



We now have a brand new scale for the trucks!!!!!

We will have wieght classes for all trucks and you must pass tech inspection (me ) to pull.

I will post all the rules and regs on this thread also. There will be a lot of new pullers this year and several BIG horsepower trucks. This year will be a lot of fun to watch as well as participate. We will be having some big groups of trucks to pull against and with the wieght limits it will really even the playing field, so come and pull or just check it out!!!!

This is going to be fun!!!!!!!



Rumor has it a little Red 2wd with BIG tires may be there





Get off I-5 in Bellingham at the Meridian street exit. Go north about 10 miles to Lynden. At the light with the John Deere dealer turn left. Stay on that road. It will go west and around a sweeping turn to the north. Continue straight to Berthousen park on your left side (west)



The sponsers for this pull are



Piers Diesel Research



BD Power



Dyno-mite Diesel Performance

Come to pull or just to watch. We have set this up to be a pull that anyone can compete at.
