Competition Tampico, Indiana Sled pull

[jwilliams3]

Earlier tonight I attended a local Sled Pull located in the hole in the wall town call "Tampico", located in beautiful southern Indiana.



7500 Open Diesel 4x4 Class.



Seen last years winner Ben Miller (Powerstroke) have some serious detonation when he hit the nitrous and propane.

Interesting to see the fresh prestone running out under his truck.



A host of other trucks pulled, several strokes, an old 6. 9 (didnt get anywhere), about 8 or 9 Cummins.



Joe Dailey (bullwagon) was piloting one of his buddies trucks with an Auto transmission pulled 280-290 area (several pulls, maybe to gauge the sled?). I think he ended up placing 3rd.



Scott Burton (Strokethis24v) pulled 310 feet first pull, this pull was a first rate pull, couldnt have asked for a better one!!



Andy Schurek from Danville Kentucky pulled 304 if I remember correctly on the first pull.



Both trucks that ran over 300 competed in a final "pull off".



Andy went first and ran 304 (I think), Scott went second and pulled 296.

Both of these trucks out shined the competition by miles and had the crowd in an uproar when they completed their full pulls.

Most trucks were hardly making 230 feet!



Glad to see a Cummins win this year, I was getting tired of hearing locally "Powerstrokes do better at the pulls!"

That's our first time at Tampico... great pull. Man, what a party... . I think all of southern IN was there! Andy and Scott's trucks ran great! We hooked three times... . We bought two and they reset the sled the first time. 289' and 296'... not bad runs for a single charger auto.

Congrats to Andy and Scott, great job!



Justin,

Both trucks were looking great!! Parts did not come in for me though.

Well I wish I was there, but i had some friends try to see how many times they could flip a ranger in a cornfield and only have very minor injurys. Tampico is usually a good one to show up to.

Yeah you BIG BOYS better look out if Scott and Andy are in town. I think Scott finally got all the bugs worked out now hes ready to have some awesome pulls.
