Gotta love it , maybe Big Bad Dodge will sign up for the West coast.

 

Considering their battery of tests, I'm pretty confident that only later trucks with electronically controlled fuel injection and automatic transmissions will be able to compete.

There's no way a purpose-built 12 valve sled puller is going to be streetable enough to tow something for 100 miles w/o turning the trailer and chase vehicle black. Not unless they allow some tweaking between tests.

Plus, shifting a manual in the quarter mile sucks. I don't like racing w/ my NV5600 at all.

 

all true , meant it as a joke,

 

I'm signing up for it......if a lot of people from here do maybe someone will be picked and win!!

 

Yeah, BBD wouldn't do very good in that test 8,000lbs and shifting a triple disc clutch in the quarter I bet would be a PITA

BBD

 

I sent my picture and appliction in today!

 

You obviously have not seen Matt Stuckey's Retired Race truck

 

I hope they have an equal ammount of each kind of truck, cause of what Ive heard of em, they are kinda ford biased.

 

i think they bend to the advertisers. so he who spens the bucks will have an edge.

 

You can BANKs on it.

 

I was thinking about it, then I remembered that my truck sucks at all of the things listed and its broken

 

tow 100 miles? well tomac, i guess you won't enter then will you?

 

Joeservo, I think Tomac got confused in that competition you have to tow something 100 miles not anther truck tow yours 100 miles.

 

My truck won't have a problem towing a heavy trailer for 100 or 100000 miles. Do I have to put the green truck in the trailer and tow it around to all the pulls this season like I did in 04 just to prove you guys wrong? I'll do it if Servo and Silver03 will help throw weights and switch the truck from towing mode to pulling mode and switch it back at every event
