1stgens pulling at Wahoo NE

Well, Made my 1st hooks of the year last night and was very pleased with how my old Pile of junk ran. This was the 1st hook with the "big" governor spring and holy crap did it make a difference, I also made a few other small changes that helped the performance dramaticly. I finished 5th in both classes


stillsmokin, captainchrysler and Travis Bennet were also pulling in the class I was in. Travis seemed to be having tranny troubles but Jeff and Curt ran well also. I liked how tightly we were grouped in each class. In the light class me Jeff and Curt were all within about 10ft of each other and in the heavy class were within 4ft of each other.

We got video of all of our hooks except Me and Travis' heavy hooks as the camera batery went dead

Heres a couple pics I snapped

Thanks for posting those vid's Andrew. We really need to look into a new camera.

Had a good time down there. Nice to go to a real deal truck pull, rather than playing 2nd fiddle to the tractors.

I think if it had been a little tighter track, us 3 could have been a little further up in the pack. The 1st gens were runnin' good.

What rpm did u run down the track? Still impressive how strong the non-I/C's are.

Here is Matt and I from the other side:

I don't have a tach but I would say every bit of 4000 I know it was on the governor at the middle of the track on my heavy hook.

You didn't by chance get my heavy hook on camera did ya?

Y'all are awesome!

I wonder if you can get them to turn down the background noise, it's hard to hear the REAL music.

Looks like it says "Tiffany's Pride" to me.

Trucks look good fellas! They're all sitting about the same height in the front and rear . Makes for a cool picture or 2!

Thanks for the compliments guys. Travis' truck actually sits a little lower than me and Jeffs.

I'm still amazed that my truck is right in the mix with Curt and Jeff.
