SOunds like alot of rules but then again I pull here in missouri pretty much you drive it off the road and into the track.

 

Thats the way it ought to be!!

 

by those rules, it looks like the diesels have to be built for full time sled pulling to compete. that puts the ole farm truck out of the equation.

 

That's what I was thinking. It pretty much eliminates all daily driver. I was all excited since I will be in Ky pretty much the whole month of April...

 

There will be a lot less Street class guys pulling all over KY this year. I'm one of them by the way. Everybody decided to change their rules this year, now you have to have 'loops, kill switches, tranny blankets, harmonic balancer shields (WTH?). Quite frankly its getting rediculous.

I finally got my truck done last year with a turbo that suites my needs, and by then the season was over. Now everybody comes out and does this crap this year and it looks like I wasted a lot of $$ on turbos, tractions bars, and a DD clutch last year cause I'm not able to pull anywhere I did last year with the new rules.

Sorry off.

 

Mark,
One of the "premier" pulling venues down in Kentucky that has changed alot of their rules in favor of "safety" has suffered in my opinion.

I went to a pull down there last year and the quality of trucks was lacking in their street class. The mod class they had also suffered being that there was no "premier" mods trucks that showed up for the class.

I was disappointed to say the least and wont be back.

 

Which pull Justin? If you don't want to say it publically PM me.

 

I might be there. I'll have to see what's going on that weekend. Always willing to help out a fellow fire Dept. I don't like the rules, but I do have everything to be compliant.
