back from my 1st pull in Idaho Falls

well for my very 1st time going and participating i did half way decent. pulled 237 feet in 2nd 4 low in the Work Stock class. i was the only 1st gen in the competition. ill have some vids of the event later on tonight or this week. The short traction bars and the adjustable bump stops worked perfectly. No hopping, or axle wrap that i could see in the vid on the camera. all i can say is....IM HOOKED . i found my new hobby. too bad i have to travel 3 hours or more to do so but oh well.

yeah we need instant gratification. Something about telling us your going to post a video up later... makes me want to see it even more now. I wish people would stop doing this, i can't take the suspense anymore.

Looks like a real clean 1st hook. Good job.

Looks like a loose track.

the track was actually packed down almost like concrete. dry too. and EGTs were no more than 600 degrees. its odd. my truck ROLLS the coal from idle to 3500 on the street in all gears and pegs the pyro, that pull there was little to no smoke and low low EGTs

Diesels work better, (meaning more efficiently) with a load on.
