Re: My 1st truck pull

Sorry about not having a video this time but, I pulled Wednesday night. I got third again but I was pissed about the new tires I used. I could tell from the get go I was spinning out too much. I dropped the rears to 32 and the fronts to 25 pounds. The motor did fine started at about 4000 and stood on it at about 50 feet. It turned 5400 at 50 feet and spun out at 5000 rpms. I thought I went the wrong direction on tires till I found out that I had both front tires in the air at the 170 foot mark. Like I said I wish I had video. I know I need more front end weight but It would have still been cool on video. I pull again Saturday night and I will have video unless it sucks By the way third payed 100 bucks. I am now dead even on expenses for entry fees.
