I weight my truck the other night at the truck pull 9806lbs. The truck pull class was for daily drivers, supposedly, I had more weight for sure, but my hitch height is low. I took first of 3 trucks the other 2 trucks were Fords. First Ford pulled 153ft I pulled 243ft and other Ford couldn't lite the turbo and blew black smoke for about 70ft, and then trailered it home???
At the track I unloaded my tool boxes so maybe I got down to 9klbs. Ran a 15.7 at 85mph? I ran in Tow Haul.

Good job on the 1st place. 15.7 sounds like a great time to me for a 9k lb truck. Did you do a boosted launch? What settings were you running the hypermax on?
