VID-- 1st time pulling

fronts were around 20psi, rears were aired all the way up, but I said next time we will drop them quite a bit. We also talked about 2nd high which he might try or even 5th low but that is a really big gear to run. Gotta build some stops too cause the rear squated about 5 inches.

Like Scott and Brandon said drop your tire pressure down, 18psi up front and 30psi in the back to start. You probably still won't load the motor on most California tracks though so don't get too discouraged. Make sure you hitch is right at 26" and baby that thing out of the hole. The auto trucks have an advantage on the loose tracks by being able to control wheelspeed out of the hole, but you can make a stick work. Now for John Esteves's truck "SmokinMax", he did not have much of a load on his motor either, but remember, he has some really wide tires, and hanging weight up front, and an auto. Judging by the video he was able to get the sled moving faster out of the hole than you did. Now, don't go friggin burning down your clutch trying to keep the tires from blowing off, just get it moving smoothly and quickly while maintaining some clutch material on your discs.

Like Cole said, we had 50 in the rear and 20 up front. We'll put the tires at 1and 30 at the next pull.

The L&L guys are still figuring out whether they are letting the Street Modified Diesel class hang weight and block the suspension. The rules on the CSS website say 2 inches of travel and no hanging weight. We'll see what happens with that.

You make the clutch part seem easy LOL
 
4000 rpms at the start? i started at 3g in my first pull and it was horrible on the clutch. the last time i started about 18-20 and it went alot better
