...edit
 
This is a memorial hook for Greg Vanhouten, who was our clubs announcer for many years. Greg passed away unexpectedly this past winter from a heart attack.
The List of sponsors for this hook is quite large, as the whole community new and respected Greg.
I will try and get the whole 2.6 rules up tonight, but they are pretty much the same as Nadm only no bushing.
 
what about hood stacks? that is my only concern. i would come and hook but if you dont allow hood stacks in the 2.6 class i cant run
 
just got of the phone with 2 of the people putting the show on and they said they would let the hood stack go since it isn't a power adder. so ya better show up LOL.

Chager or charges????

Chargers????

The club wanted a spot for the guys with street twins to be able to hook, which is why any turbo configuration is allowed. I don't know of any twin charger trucks planning to attend though.
 
We have secured enough sponsors that first place in the hot class will get $1000 !!!
 
Hate to have someone come to pull and not have a place for them.
 
what if a guy show up with propane or nitrous or cut tires or a rockwell axle or something else not allowed by the rules?
