With pulling you never know when the weight is going to hit you unless your checking your rear view mirror.
Every sled and track are different, then you have gears, and weight changes etc.
How many people commenting on this thread have actually had to shut their truck down to avoid a dirt/sand pile while pulling a sled??
I have. And it cost me the pull.
See what I am getting at.
Sort of a rock and a hard place thing (or second place
)

)I agree, on a short indoor track they usually have the sled set so it stops you very quickly at the very end not the slower death we usually get. I pulled and won at EEP's indoor pull back in 03 I beat Chad Davis and Jason Nihiser, the only reason my 400 hp could beat them was because they saw that wall comming at them twice as fast as I did and decided to let off where I didn't have to. As far as Brads pull goes, I think they should have had the sled set heavier but it won't do any good to argue about it now

Seems like every pull I go to anymore there's ONE rookie who makes a bad start and then decides to abort.....what's he do...slams on the brakes...BLAM! in the rear and the crowd goes wild!

The sled operator, and promoter are at fault. When you are racing, you don't lift.
If ONE truck hit the wall the entire night then that would be acceptable, but to have several trucks come within 2' of the wall,,,, that's the promoters fault!
The person in charge of this sled pull is dumber than a box full of hammers.

Why on Gods green earth would you have a sled pull indores? That is retarded. No shut down area at all. If the only reason for having it indores was for the seating ,,,they make outdore bleachers that work just fine. I personaly wouldent even go wach a pull indores fopr many reasons and one is that the pullers would not be able to give it there all due to not wanting to hit the wall and the other reason would be the noise.

I wonder how the trucks would hook up on frozen dirt?

#2 I took a set of ear plugs with me because I figured it would be loud as **** in there because I know how loud they are out doors. Oddly enough I didn't need them.....yes you couldn't talk to the person beside you when they were pulling, but I left their without a headache after 3-4 hours of back ot back pulling.
