TNDTR Chapter #34 Discussion thread
Diesel Truck Pulls
If you check on the Mid-Tenn Pullers website, under the message board, a lot of these local pulls are posted on there. If you didnt know, the MTPA has diesel truck class now as a trial basis. they have the rules and safety equip. required posted on the home page. The safety stuff is pretty minor, a shield under the harmonic balancer, and a kill switch is the worst of it! The class they started is really taking off, something like 15 trucks pulled at the last one at Mooretown. The more guys that pull in the class, and the more likely they will keep it next year!! The next one with diesel trucks is in Sparta on Sept. 1st. Sometimes the promoter will have the run what ya brung class after the sactioned pull, but you never know unless your there??
Go to www.midtnpullers.com and look for the message board. THere is a thread started for the Sparta pull. A guy named Joey Grandey is the man to talk to. He will give you the info you need. Just post a question or email him, as they are pretty quick to respond!

He moved back to Georgia. Look in his gallery and you'll see a good reason to give him a little encouragement. His father has a Ram and had an accident in it. Dad has broken ribs and some other injuries. The truck was rolled and totalled. He's got a thread started about it and also posting in the Chapter 31 thread. Rick
Ok I didn't know.
Ok the pull at Lynnville starts at 5 but the antique classes, those will probably run for about 2 hours since there are a few weight classes.
I'll be there, deereguy will be there pullin (got the injectors in his truck last night, traction bars go on tonight).

Hey fellas. Haven't been around in a while. Mark, hope I can make it on the 8th. We'll see.
There's a pull in Ashland City tomorrow night, Friday. Springfield is Thursday night the 30th. Dickson I think is Thursday September 6th. If I hear of more I'll let you know.

Well I pulled for the first time Saturday night after the rain. I pulled 240.0 in the stock class. Then pulled the rain out classed today (sunday). Pro Street I pulled 299.58. I'm hooked for good now. The lynnville pull is by far one of the best in my opinion.
ok guys sorry i have been out of it a bit, had a lot going on. I am starting a thread for the chapter meet to try and get a little more exposure... please stop in and let me know who all will be coming.
Do any of you guys know where to get the harmonic balancer shield and kill switch, as per MTPA rules? I am having a hard time finding any info on them. And is the 26" hitch height at the bottom, top, or middle of the hitch? Thanks!!
You could contact Meacham over at Cedar City Diesel in Lebanon, and he will be able to fix you up or point you in the right direction anyway. There are alot of guys from Lebanon that pull, so I am sure that he has done a few trucks already!!



Sorry if I screwed anybody up. I know Springfield and Dickson will have Street Truck classes.
