Well I hooked for the first time this season and for my standards did awesome I went 299'5" and ended up 5th out of I think 8 trucks and I was runnin stock stock sticks!
I tryed runnin 1st high then I tryed 2nd low and smoke the stock Sachs both times then tryed 1st low and shifted to 2nd and was suprised nothing scattered. The track was super sticky and the sled was hard to get rollin but once you did you could put the power down.

I was supposed to hook again in the 8500lb class but we got rained out

Ezra after tonite I love em they are a little noizy on the hiway but in the dirt they do awesome

Heres my 7700lb hook, listen close at the beginning and you can hear me shift I think I also earned a new nickname tonite also it is Mr. Shifter

Actualy on my heavy hook the exhaust came apart at the 90 where it goes into the stack

This was one of the first time I've ever pulled in the daylight also so I got some decent still shots too

Good for Dan. I may try it if I ever get a converter put in. I have almost everything for my stacks now. Just waiting on a 90degree and small run of pipe.

Yeah I was very pleased with how Dans truck ran, he was the first puller in his class so we turned it down and tryed again in 1st high and suprisingly the clutch held and he boogied down the track

How long of a run do you need and 3 or 4 inch? I might have a chunk

Another vid

I got the pipe now just need money for the 90's . I hope I do not need flex pipe but thinking I will. That stuff is kinda pricey.
