Its not until next march. They haven't put up any info yet on the website. But if its anything like Gordyville, you'll need a smoke tube, and a front hitch so they can use tractors with 3-point movers to lift the front up so the can move you around. They don't want you running in the arena, unless your pulling so the smoke goes out the smoke tube. I'm sure there will be more info soon.
 
All of you guys should register for this pull! It's a great pull, awesome facility, and turning into one of the biggest pulls of the year.

Smoke Tube Spec.

It should be mentioned that the indoor pull in Murfreesboro is invitation only. You have to apply to be selected to hook there. And I don't know about this up coming year but in the past, it's just been the Super Mod class. Like Brad Ingrams' old red truck.

I missed it last year but was there two years ago when Brad plowed the sand with the red truck and lunched his chargers. The pulls is a good one to make it to!!!
