Point Fund and Point Race:
A PRO STREET DIESEL 4x4 TRUCK “POINT RACE” will be conducted in 2008. Points will be assigned with fifty (50) to the winner and down by two. All trucks will receive at least twenty points at each event where they compete. Each truck may miss one event and still collect last place points less two at that pull. The owner must notify Full Pull Productions before missing an event in order to receive these ‘dropped hook’ points. No more than two trucks may take their “dropped hook” at any single event. Truck may not participate at another event when using ‘dropped hook’.
Invitational Pulls:
The PRO STREET DIESEL division may have end-of-season ‘invitational’ pulling events. The trucks invited to these special pulls will be determined based on the 2008 point race.
