I had a great time and was very suprised the 1st gen took home 1st place (VE power baby!!). J7, It's nice to see that you are taking charge and will be making rules. How can I help you set up some classes because I would love to contribute to a good cause.

I guess just throw some stuff out there that you've seen at other pulls. Thanks, and as for all the stuff you had to go through the other night, was there were alot of guys that obeyed the rules they were told to see someone with weights flipped them out. Its over now and everyone had a good time. Anywho whatever sugg you have will be helpful.

Just let us know what you need man. Congrats NeedMo I love to see a VE win. It is so easy to be tempted buy the easy power of the Dark side (P-7100) I was almost lost to it. It was sad to see the 2 tone blue one that was lost to it ( But he only out pulled me by 4ft at Deleon) Looks like you have a very solid rig. Cant beleve that we live so close and have not realy met. Are you going the Deleon on the 29th?

J7- The way you word it, you make it sound as if I went out of my way to break the rules. I would have gladly followed the rules if I would had seen any. Thats my whole point...I didnt see any rules nor did anybody tell me I couldnt hang weights until I was next to pull. Print off the class rules and hand them to the guys pulling when they pay the entry fee to avoid confusion. Very simple to do and it's in black and white for everyone to see....
I agree with Jake. I dont see a problem with hanging weights AS LONG as you make the weight for the class. The only reason I do is that my truck weighs 6300lbs. All of the 4wd gas trucks hang weights and I watched them remove weights to make the class weight.
I think anything over 9000lbs is unnecessary for a class.

such as stock street is limited to stock turbo for the model year truck.

Sounds good so far guys and needmo I may have said that wrong sorry no pun intended I didnt mean it that way! The stock is cool, the modified I think should be one turbo no size limit but with water and meth only, and weight class under 8200, this is a hard weight deal since my truck is two wheel drive western hauler bed and single cab tips in at 8160 and no diesel so... I have the access to all of the truck types that pull so no big deal to weight each one empty and yall come up with the weight ideas. open is open clearly. I do believe that safety is important so any modified should have drivetrain loops and kill switch along with open class. What do yall think?

Just to make sure we arent taking it for granted...a 26in max hitch height. I like your format Jake, but the bad thing is that there wont that many trucks to fill up all the classes. I think there were about 24 on Sat and most of them would be considered stock.
