Off to Charlotte this evening, not sure how many will be there hoping for 3 or 4 others. Charlotte is an average track as far as content, Greg Hickok always does a fantastic job of preparing the track no matter what kind it is. Hopefully Dan (Nearpass Pulling Sleds) will let us run a bit farther tonight, 269' we had at Blanchard was too short, about at bad as Fremont, never get to 250' there. We like the good 300'...315'....345' the longer the better for us!! This is only pull Greg is putting on this year and we want to support his efforts. Will try to get in cab video again and fan video, hope to post on our YouTube site tomorrow.
FYI, we will be sporting a sign for support of Randy Hekman for Senate for the rest of the season. I know Randy personally and fully support what he is about and what he will do when elected to US Senate. If you have a moment, check out his website Randy Hekman for US Senate
Godspeed!
Ok, So we went to Blanchard pull (was an MTTP pull) couple weeks ago. First time with the 35" tires, was very nervous, didn't know what to expect?? Track was good clay power track. Brad, our engine builder, suggested to come off line standing on it. "Break em loose and let it eat", was his words. We were first hook so we could decline and come back third if didn't work out. We came off the line standing on it and all went great. I could feel the front tires wanting to pull back and forth (see in cab "Go Pro" video on the YouTube site, link is upper left corner of this page), it finally evened out about 100'. Larger tires kept engine RPM down, Brad likes that too :-). Ended up going 269 and some change, winning by about 20'. Good night overall. Overall was good first hook for the season.
