Default My Weekend in Pics... Truck Pulls and Burn Out Competitions

Well it was a very eventful weekend... Started out Saturday with the Southern Shootout Truck Pull and like an idiot I took a decent set up with the pulling truck and switched it up for the last pull of the season. I took off the all-terrains and put some mud tires on the truck looking for some more bite... Well I got plenty and that along with the most gripping track all year led to some HUGE wheel hop when the pan dropped at the 200' mark... Being the last pull I said F-it and kept in it (got all winter to fix it thinking) and the hitch made a speedy departure from the truck at about 215'... Oh well...

Then on to today... Steph has a girl at work that was running in a local Demo-Derby so we went... Well before we leave she hops on the net and sees that they are having a burnout contest... Hmmmmm.... The pulling truck is still on the trailer..... So We go... I enter.... And I win!!! $150 and a trophy to me!!! Beat out some pretty stiff competitors too. Some guys had there beater Demo cars but there was a few who were serious. A guy had a full on Dakota Race truck there (it was SWEET!) and I thought for sure that he had won but the crowd seemed to fall for the charms of the 1st gen! CUMMINS POWER FOR THE WIN BABY!!!

Some before and afters of the tires, I wanted to go until they poped but the guy waved me out the box. At one point I looked down and the speedo was pointing straight down.

He did REAL good... It was close... That thing was full on race... They run a thing at the track called wacky wednesday were they run 1 lap time trials. The truck was built for that. No street at all. Sounded AWESOME too.
