Competition SW Michigan Pulls?????

[bluthndr]

Anyone know of any? Heard rumors about one in Kalamazoo in June, but that's all I know. Last year it seems like there were some in Prarieville, Marshall, and others. Anyone hear of anything scheduled yet???

Nothing that I have heard of yet. I will check with my cousin, I think he might know of a few at the local fairgournds.



Did you ever get any pump work done? I am curious to hear the results. Thanks.

A decent one June 18th in Toledo, Fulton county fairgrounds. Not too far for you mitten boys.

I'm going to try and make it.

Marshall does have truck pulls, but it's pretty much a "beat up farm truck special" kind of event. Although there are some diesels that attend. I'll let you know when it comes time for this one.

Tried calling for Aaron a couple of times - just when I was set to take it off and send it to him, I ran accross an '01 24V 6-spd for a price I couldn't refuse (hence the pulling question). I spent a little chunk of change to put down on it, and of course, replace ball joints, shocks, get gauges, get a pusher pump, and an Edge Comp Drag box. It's the wife's truck...



Anyways, gotta sell her Z71, and level out my cash flow - then I'll send out my pump. Like I said before - even if I spend only $250 (or a little more - it doesn't run smooth ) to have my pump gone through, I can't help but wonder if I'd be $ ahead at the end if I just buy a recon 215 pump for $900... Either way, it and a torque convertor have GOT TO be done this year if I plan on driving it all year...



I'm all for the run what ya brung competitions - our diesels can crush the "farm trucks" a lot of (all?) the time, there are pretty much zero organized pulls unless I want to drive 3-5 hours away, and as much as I like them, I just don't have the desire to build either of my (oops! - did I say MY? - I meant our... ) "street" trucks to any certain class. I just want the most performance for my dollar, and to have fun at a local pull here & there - win or lose.



Sled Puller, Eric Stacey's (sp?), Crowder's, and Mitchell's trucks are awesome, but I just don't have that kind of time, money, and maybe even ability to pull off that level of competition, plus my daily driver is borderline legal going down the street - and WAY illegal in any formal pulling class... I just want to screw around and have fun for now. Famous last words...

There is a "farm truck pull" with 3 diesel classes (one open, one basically bone stock)at the Kalamazoo County fair grounds on June 12th.

What time on Sunday and what sled?

 

[bluthndr]

No idea what sled, but I don't really care. Morning will be antique tractors, trucks start to register @ 3. Two classes for small blocks, 2 for big blocks, 2 for diesels and one "open" class. The rules read "turbo" in the open class, but doesn't specifically say ONLY one...



I will try to post the diesel and open class rules here if anyone's interested, but I will ask advice in exchange. This will be my first time...
