I'm stationed in Georgia for 2 years and haven't heard of one here so thats out. I from Illinois and the boss if from Kentucky, one of those two would get my vote. I saw more in Illinios so i'll go that route.

KALIFORNIA BABY!!!


Yeah... Norco need's truck pulls really, really bad. We have a higher percentage of really-well-off-people-who-want-to-look-like-cowboys-and-so-they-drive-nice-Diesel-trucks than any other place on the planet. If somebody at the DHRA or wherever want's to make some money and embetter the sport, then hold an event in Norco. These goombahs out here got the trucks and the money, but none of them know the first thing about Diesel performance... Massive untapped market.

I agree with Diesel007, most big dogs come from Indiana, and I mostly hear about big pulls in Indiana.

I am in Houston, TX, and I have only heard of 2 pulls, and these were recent, as in this year

It's definately not Texas, although I would sure love to see one in person.

Def going for Indiana. Think about it we have Scheids, Haislys, Cummins is located here and So is Navstar that makes thr Power Joke. Even on top of the big pulls there are small town pulls every weekend. Heck My favorite pull is in a small town, about 250, 3 miles from my house. it always brings out the big names with about 50-60+ tractors every year.

We have alot here in KY, but the big pulls seem to be in Indiana. We have our pull Smokin the Bluegrass, and Stanford has some big ones as well. We just need more of them in both places.

I vote Indiana not just because I live here but also becuase we have the 2 biggest events in diesel truck sports and Tampico. I think Ohio is #2 and Kentucky #3.
