1stgen545 had a breakdown of the rules last year that they handed him at the front gate. It was modified and stock, I couldnt really tell the difference between the two. Some OBVIOUS modifieds also pulled stock. There are some hitch requirements and I remember something about propane and nitrous, or the lack there of. Pretty basic though.

We were planning on bringing the '05 to pull, but have a few ???

Stock engine + fueling SW & box, with installed BUT not used NO2 & H2O/CHO3 - will they make us run Modified?

Are front-mounted winches OK?

Lastly, how stringent is the 8K# gross rule? - we have a tough time getting down to 8500# when we prep the truck for the quarter.

pretty tight on the 8K. They made a guy unload a bunch of chains and things to make it in. Last year it was no NO2 at all in any class H2O/CHO3 in modified. I plan the go thursday night to get a copy of the rules. winches are OK. NeedMoPower I hope you make it. I would like to see your truck and see a 1st Gen win.

Dont worry, I'll be there, but it wont be until Saturday. I would like to see a 1st gen win too, but I'm already running out of fuel big time. I dont have anymore tricks left to do anymore other than p pumping it. Hope all of you decide to stick around on saturday...I'd like to meet the 1st gen guys.

Yeah Ill be there Saturday, last year I was in the pits and missed almost all of the pull, and there was some cool stuff I missed. Ill be watching this go-around. There are always a few that arent running any mods that make it fun. Even though they said no alchohol on the trucks, nobody mentions anything about the alchohol in the drivers!! Makes for a fantastic YEE-HAAAW axle bustin' time!!

I know that there should be a lot of us there friday night. Thats the night I plan to pull. I have a few friends that will only be able to make it that night. Are you going to win the 2x4 class.
