Does any pulling organizations make duallies pull the outside rear tires off to pull?

The PSATMA just made a rule that all duallies have to pull the out side wheels off to pull.

I think this is total B.S.

Feed back on other rules and thoughts would be great.
 
Technically it is a good rule. You don't see any of the Gassers running them do you? Now in the work stock class you shouldn't have to remove them, but the competitive classes your building your truck to the rules.
 
I can see them making that rule to keep the SRW trucks from throwing on another tire in a street class. If its a DRW truck I dont see how they could justify making the rule, but I guess its there to keep things "Fair".
 
Just add a wider tire in the back to make up for it....like a 14.5"? Same or bigger footprint anyway if thats what your shooting for.

Well, this rule was just made 2 weeks ago right after the first pull when a dually kicked butt on the guy who makes the rules. Sound alittle fishy????:banned:
 
I know the Super swampers and baja claws are offered in fairly wide treads. What diameter are we talking, 33"?
 
i saw a guy running some 33x 15.5's on a reg cab at a couple pulls, it was a pro-street truck tho. they are wide as hell

You would say that since you don't have a dually and one spanked you at the last pull!!!!!:poke::poke: Most gas classes only allow the standard cab long bed wheelbase confuguration too.

You beat me to it you must have had typing in school.

What works on gassers don't always work on Diesels.

Jeezus Scotty...you aren't letting this one go, are you?

What is your problem? Has something been done where you felt you have been wronged? Or are you just campaigning for people who don't have access to the internet?

Seems like you are really upset...you're hiding behind the internet, not making it to any pulls, have a truck with a dead VP pump, and still looking to purchase a new truck.

Get your SHT together before you start slinging SHT onto others. You're a nice guy otherwise.

There seems to be other underlying issues, and you're latching onto this as your only source of outlet.

When you show up to a pull, we can hash this out. In the meantime, all this is doing is taking up valuable bandwidth.

K5 came in behind Dave Notar at Moses Lake.

Then, vice versa happened this weekend at Berthusen.

You're pretty much saying that the local shop in Bellingham is in cahoots with PSATMA? That the rules are being rigged to support one man's personal priorities?

That's pretty much what you're saying, but this passive agggressive SHT needs to go.
 
Just seems odd that last year you were trying so hard to make the rules simple so anyone could show up and pull. You really wanted the duallys to not have to strip parts off to make weight and then after the first pull of this year you are now requireing them to remove parts to pull.

That was back with the NHRDA.

Keeping it simple was the one thing we tried to do.

I think we had a good base built up with those rules. They seemed to go over well for the most part. We were constantly growing.

It's just too bad that the NHRDA didn't want to support it.
 
That is a dumb rule IMO. If someone with a single wheel thinks a dually has a big advantage, then slap some duals on it! Surely a single wheel truck with 305's on it would have as much footprint as a dually with 235's or even maybe 265's? I saw a single wheel, regular cab truck kick butt against a bunch of tough dually ext cab trucks this weekend. I have seen dually's kick butt too. I dont think either has a huge advantage. Run what you have and if you dont like it, change it to make it what you want.
