Cool
I'm pretty new to sled pulling and loving it, I have always been a racer but I decided to add on another sport to spend time and money on. I built this truck only Feb of this year, it's doing well and I wanted show some of the dodge guys that even a stock bottom end Dmax is mean and will surely compete with a built Cummins. I also wanted to mention that Zach Hamilton sponsored me some valve springs and they made a huge difference! Yes springs alone, 500 more rpm. Thanks again Zach! Here is a video from last weekend, first pull with the springs, 347 feet and 2nd place. 1st was 350 feet (Gary Wolf, "BigBadWolf") and congrats on his win.
The video isn't great quality but you can see what's going on. Check out the up pipes under the front fender at the end of the track.

both had great hooks.
Alex you should of heard the crowd go wild after your pull - lots of chevy fans
then Gary had to break their hearts. lol big bad bully just kiddin

it was a good turnout and a heck of a show.
congrats to both of you.
 
Thanks dude! I heard there was whole entourage of Chevy fans on the starting line that took their shirts off are swinging them around yelling. LOL

Gary had a heck of a pull though!

And drice, I saw your truck come in on a trailer but never saw it pull, what happened or why didn't you hook?
 
They wouldn’t let me. I was going to pull right after the semi's but when I spoke to Gary and the HWH guys they said that they had to be done by 10:30 because of the concert. (It was already 10:45 and under estimated hadn’t even run yet) so we went and loaded back up and told them we would see them this weekend. They are a great bunch of guys, they have always let be pull when I show up at the antique pulls. I know there had to be some miss information somewhere because when I pulled out they were letting locals pull.
 
Badass pulls! I loved it when the Dodge kinda slowed down like it was fixn to stop and then kept right on goin and had the blue flame thing goin.
 
drice.. is your truck setup to run with the TTTPA guys??? Stopped in @ Austin the other day.. but just for a min.. a friend was picking up some parts.. (Like we don't have enought right out the door. haha)

Good Pull guys.. a Friend was at the pull, said he was pretty let down until Alex pulled.. (he's a Chevy guy) I think he was there Saturday night..

I have a cover that goes over the weights, it's not an actual box. I just didn't feel like jacking with it this time, I'll have it for DeLeon though, will you be there?
