Truck Pull

[CRuD]

Hello to All.

I pulled my truck for the first time last night and took first place. It was in Harrells NC, a NTPA Sanctioned event. As you can see from my sig I have a 2500, I pulled against a Ford with a 429, two Chevy's 2500s, one 1500 Dodge and a couple of 1500 Chevy's. The first pull I went 340 Ft and spun out when I ran outa track which was a good thing due to a corn field was at the end of the track. I had a pull off with one of the 2500 Chevy's and I pulled 327 feet and 10 inches, the Chevy only pulled 297 feet and a couple of inches.

I pulled my "stock" truck in 1st gear and in 4wd High range. I tighten the chain and then let the clutch out and slowly applyed the throttle, after that I ran her at 3 Grand and watched the lines go by. At about the 250 foot mark the chain they added to the sleigh started to put a load on my truck. It was great showing the crowd what the Diesel was capablie of doing.

See ya

CRuD,



Harrels is only 50 miles from me. I'll have to check it out. Any special equipment required ? Helmet, deadman, hitch other than stock... ?

Just a friendly warning at a paranoid moment. You will pay to play. Clutches smoke, driveline components take major stress (transfer case), etc...



But heh,,, have fun! Just don't cry when the repair bill comes.



(been there, done that)

No helmet or anything else needed. All we did was hook a clevis into where you mount a ball. So as long as you have a 2" receiver you should be good to go.

Have you seen the posts under local events ? There is a post in there about the June meeting for N. C. Check it out, we have a good time, we have something to eat and then stand or sit around and shoot the bull.

I am a firm believer in the " If you want to play, sooner or later you will have to pay.

Course I also think that "common sense" is a good thing.

See Ya
