pulling fun at the Buck!

[Archive]

First I would like to thank Tom P. for getting a few rams together for the pull. with out his help with the track people this would have been a non event for our trucks.

Other than a short rain shower before things got started the whole event was great.

We had about 8 Dodges and 1 Ford signed up for the pull. I managed to pull 300' plus a few inches wich was good enough for first place, a trophy & 200 clams. When I saw the truck go past the 300' mark let off and stopped. It was then that i found out that it was a floating flinish line and I should've kept going. I don't think I could've gone much further as I was loosing traction fast.

Tom fished a close second in his big & tall Ram. He was in 4WL in 2nd and just ran out of speed. If he was in 3rd he would've taken first.

I was in 4WL in 3rd with the Power Edge on #3, power was not a problem. At 3/4 of the way down the track I still hadn't floored it and was able to hold 2700 rpm and goose it up to 3000. With that gearing my EGT's stayed right around 1000 deg.
My son said that it smoked pretty heavy off the line but cleared up before I had gone 50'.

Tom, what happened to the guy with the older ram (400,000 mile guy). I looked like he only made it 50 ' or so. I wanted to stop and talk with you guys after the pull but I had a long drive home. If you got my pull on video I would like to see it.

Great time, nice people, great pulls..
