Sounds like a fe wgood winter projects

BTW you can get sponsors in any class it doesn't have to be modified class only, your selling advertising 300' at a time no mater what class.

Doing good, some small issue on my part in the begining but I like to think I got progressivily better this season totally different on these tracks so I didn't do any tuning this summer, but have some plans for this winter.

(2nd place)
nice pic Ian! pulled alittle this year even pulled against Ian three times. I took one 1st place two 2nd places a 7th then a 12th out of 18, then pull couple dozen time in my back yard ( used the clubs sled and my dad's track) nice to have a sled handy

I was retired however by the looks I will have to be back in the driver's seat next year. Not that I will be complaining but still hoping.

i spend too much money going to, officiating, advertising, and rewriting and revising rules to even want to build a truck, i do got a line on some parts to build a very nasty truck, found a set of militaries with t-case, a allison 5 speed auto and two 6V53 detroits, think i can hook them crank to crank?.......oh and all that is costing me a 1000 bucks....

I have never pulled with my truck before, though I find spectating quite fun. If i had a backup car I would be all about hookin up, though seeing as how my truck is a DD I am a wuss and yeah....

Oh, and as far as pulling anything else, I pulled a old MF tractor in 2wd, and an older F250 gasser... For ***** and giggles of course...
