try and find out any events locally, usually theres a few in Stephenville every year, usually each organization or pull has their own set of rules, they are typically posted on the flyer for the event or on the website at the track they are pulling at.

I know dhra has a rule book but if you want the 2008 rules for that i can post them up i think i seen them somewhere.

what size turbo do you have on it right now, and how much does you truck weigh?
