Do you think they would let me hook up to the sled with my Yukon just to give it a try? If nothing else everyone should get a good laugh.

Maybe I'll bring the 200 shot.

 

I have seen some big SUV's hook up in North Carolina for the fun of it so maybe.

 

Would I need to load more weight, It only weighs 5850# empty. Also I have a 12,500lb hitch, is that ok to hook to?

 

You would pull in the gas class. It all depends what you weigh total. You weight in before the starts to determine if you need more or less weight. Then that puts you in classes. Do you have reciever in the front to add weight to a weight bar. Your weight will need to be in the front.

 

By the way sorry....the hitch is fine and your weight doesn't have to be in front it would just help. You can add anywhere. I know guys who will take out tool boxes or seats. Anything to take off weight. Then I know guys who will add anything to take on weight. Such as took boxes, chains, or weights in the bed. Sometimes all you need it 50 or so pounds to put you in a certain class.

 

Hey this is within an hour of my place, and with the fair being there as well I can probably bring the grandkids along as well. Hope to see you there!

 

Hey, that's great! Something for everyone to enjoy! Look me up if you get to come. I drive a Blue Dodge 2500 extended cab with a big ole Diesels Unlimited decal with stacks in my rear glass along with a few other boys who have one.

 

I'll be there, what class will I have to pull in????? wanted to come to the last pull, but had to work, unless there is a rodeo/roping on that weekend I'm definatly gonna bring the old white dually out to play!!!!! I'm gonna try & bring some buddies of mine from down my way too, I only live about 20 min.'s from rural retreat, here in good old Chilhowie, how was the turn out for the last one & who won????? I had a couple friends pulling last time one guy has a 97' black ext. cab cummins w/a headache rack & 4" exhaust ran out in front of the wheel, it's a little beat up too!! LOL any idea how he done???? look forward to seein you guys there, Dusty

 

hey, if you look at the pics of the last pull the first pic on the top left of the page there sits my old 1st gen. the red 90' flatbed w/sidepipes used to belong to me, when I owned it, it had steel wheels/simulators & 3" exhaust behind the wheel,& a front end replacement, that was a really nice truck has an NV4500 conversion in it, man can't believe that it's on here!! anyway I'll shut up now LOL Dusty

 

Hey...glad to hear your coming. We need all the support we can get. You will probably pull in the 8000 and 8000 open class with you being a dulley due to your weight. The pictures from the first pull the single cab long bed dodge 12 valve one first place in both classes with me on his tale in my blue dodge only lacking about 8 feet each time and I would have placed first. But it was fun. It was my first pull so it was a test and tune.

I'm still trying to talk my girl into this one, hadn't spent any time with her lately so I promised to spend time with her this Sat.

Oh well, I'm a maybe.

 

unrulyNFS- Good luck! Lucky for me my wife enjoys going to truck pulls and watching just as much as I do. Maybe if she comes with you she might like it and then your are spending quality time with her and enjoying something you like!!
