Made another hook`
Well I made another hook.
People look at you funny when you drive your truck to a pull and load the rack and throw the suspension stops in then place in a Mod class and drive it home, then they really got a funny look when you tell em its a stock injectored little turbo VE truck
Wasn't a great night but I still went home with a check and a trophy.
First off I was running late to get to the pull so I called a good pulling buddy of mine and had him sign me in but he signed me up for the wrong class. This was the first time I have went to this pull as its on a week night.
Second this track is real real short at 230ft so the set the sled super heavy, it was the heaviest sled i have ever pulled. Pretty much as soon as I got the truck wound up going down the track the weight box is at the top and they slam the pan.
Third the clutch started slipping too, I'm not sure if it was cause the sled hit us so hard and fast or if its time to do somthing with it. There is another hook tomorow with some room to run, I might hook at to see what up.
Heres my hook of 188 and change.

Gonna try to make another hook tonight to see what happens. I think I'll have to pull the tranny and get the clutch relined before The Adams pull.

I got another video from last night but its less than impressive. Clutch is done, lots of sparks, trannys coming out this week.
Just got home from Falls City NE, It was an adventure. Finished off the clutch in my truck, ripped all the wires out of the trailer plug and had a blowout on the trailer, all of this 100 or so miles from home at 2 am
Fun Fun.
I'm goin to bed vids will be up tomorow.

Sorry to hear about the troubles man. The clutch too. Hopefully you can get it re-lined? Kinda weird, since it seemed to hold really good the other night.
I have a stock disc if ya need it.

It all depends on the pull and if they doo a flat rate or a pay back or a mixture of both.
Some pulls will pay around 500 to win some will pay 150 to win
At Sarpy I got a check for 66$ for third and a trophy.
