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.

Good pull for being the heaviest you've yanked. I noticed the tires weren't turning too fast at the end .

 

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.

 

what are ya running for a clutch, a single disk valair?

keep up with the videos, i enjoy watching 1st gens pulling.

 

I'm running a customsolid hub button disc in the Sachs plate

 

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.

 

I'll have er relined by the next hook which is in 2 weeks so no worrys there.

Btw how many hooks did you have on it when I got that disc from ya?

It seemed to hold good at wahoo but that was also a looser track, so I don't know

 

Last nights hook.

A little off topic, but what kind of check do you guys see for placing? I think the closest around here will just barely pay for your entry fee

 

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.

Does it cost $50 to pull like for around here?

Not bad if you score $500. Heck, I can't wait to PAY to be able to hook up once I get everything squared away.

 

How much wieght is on the front end haning?

thanks for posting the vids

 

Hook fees are around 20-25$ around here.

I got about 1700 hangin in both vids
