Stadium sled pull in Belton, TX

I just thought I would let you guys know there will be sled pulls in Belton, TX at the Bell County Expo Center on Feb 16. We take our mud drag trucks out there every year and only a couple guys do the diesel truck pulls, so I though I could see if you guys would be interested. Every year people fill the dome(about 10k) so I though it would be a cool experience.

Last year a stock 12v full pulled.This year they are having tractor pulls as well so hopefully there will be a heavier sled.

Later, Bodie

The only pull I know for sure is set with TTTPA is Priddy and I think it is in April. I dont know that the Belton deal is TTTPA. I talked with Jason a day or two ago and he did not say anything about Belton being in the plans. I dont know how well things are going since the "restructure", but I do know there are about 6 single power adder tractors in the works. They strictly excluded single turbo engines on that....go figure....chickens . I was actually thinking about doing one untill I heard that. For some reason I guess it is a problem that you can make 30% more power with a single turbo?????

Yes.. the TTTPA has a couple of classes for multi engine.. and blown engine.. big and small block classes... also four wheel drive trucks.. web site is tttpa.com.. but last I checked it hadn't been updated in a while..

They are the only ones in this area that I know of... I don't think the Outlaws are coming to TX in the winter any more.. just their summer events..
