More news, both Haisley modified trucks (Off Constantly and Rock Hard Ram) are raffling off chances to take a ride in the trucks. Two lucky spectators will get the chance to experience DHRA Modified pulling from the cockpit! All proceeds from the raffle will go to Make a Wish foundation.

Would like to find a local to Houston sled, but the first person that can help me with the $5000 it would cost to get our sled down there, I'll give them an event sponsorship!-VIP suite, logo on shirts, logo on all advertising, etc.
Of course we'll be pulling work stock and street diesel classes.

The reason I was asking is that I don't know of any sleds that are going to be local.. Most of the tractor pulling in Texas is about dead.. as far as the level of sled you are going to need... the Outlaws that come to pull in TX always bring their own sled... There are lots of Antiques.. but I only know of one sled that has pulled tractors and trucks at the level you need.. but the current owner has not... I hope there is a sled hiding out there, somewhere.. It might be cheaper to find a sled.. but better to bring something that you KNOW will get the job done..

Some of the scales are a little short too...
Good Luck,
Bryan

Ditto on the whole sled thing
I talked with Patty Haisley last night and she said there is a nice sled up in Missouri but that would be about the closest QUALITY SLED you are gonna find. that I know of any how and I know if theres not a quality sled there that scheids or Haisleys will not PULL and risk breaking something.
