Any interest in a pull in Florida in July?

Looking to see if there is any interest in an event like this before we get in too deep

Some preliminary details:

July maybe?
The Florida Diesel Truck Club would be hosting the event
Looking to do it in a covered arena in Wauchula, Florida
Diesel Trucks only, 4 classes?
Hook fees will most likely be $30 per class. Payout would be 3 places and based on the number of trucks.

Any Ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

didnt you post this somewhere else if i remember right?? is the building roofed with open sides or completely enclosed, cause smoke in a closed building sucks, go 20 dollar hook fee and pay more than 3 if a bunch of trucks show up, if you can get more "stock" trucks interested in this stuff than just the "big" mega trucks you should be able to get the ball rolling, if you need any help this fall or winter with pulls i will be in florida for good after mid-september.

It was posted here but there were some issuses I was not part of with that post. It's at an arena that is covered. I've been to 3 pulls there & the smoke is not too bad but then I love it. Thanks for the suggestions, that's what we are looking for. I'll pass it on.
Where in Florida are you moving to?

I understand that. We are trying to get it kicked off. We are not exactly sure how it will work yet. We are trying for 4 "Diesel Only" pulls a year, we have talked about rotating areas but we have to start somewhere.

You'd be about 8 hours away. Bradenton is 50 miles south of Tampa & Wauchula is 50 miles east of Bradenton.

You'd be suprised about a stock truck, a stock King Ranch Ford won the last diesel class (17 trucks total in class) In the class he beat out 2 heavy modded fords, & 2 twin turbo Dodges.
You just never know. As my Grandpa always said: "Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good"
