First gen mud dragging

Well I took all the pulling equipment off my truck slap on my 34" swampers and did a little mud draggin this weekend and the results suprised me

I ended up 6th place in the sportsman class with a fast time of 4.09 seconds in a 175 ft pit I was only 3 tenths off of the leader

I never realized how much fun a 15psi launch is

My pulling schedule just got shortened and the mud drag schedule just got longer

Muddrags also pay a lot better around here too

I'll post some pics as soon as I can

What gear(s) did you run through? Awesome to hear a Cummins amongst the big gassers.
