Ill be coming with Mike and will be planning on making a hook. Ill go pre register soon.
I have never pulled before
Looks like ill be in the 2.8 class with a Aurora 5k. Craig, how strict are the rules as my truck will be mostly street driven and i prob wont enter if i have to put fuel shut off, turbo air shut off..... etc etc.
I just want to try it out and have fun.
We will be encouraging everyone to get the safety gear in place, but are not looking to eliminate anyone, if you spin over 4k rpm, you should take the safety more seriously. We aren't running the 2.8 class, so anything over 2.6 goes to Super Street, you should be fine.
I posted this on another thread, but am copying it here to make sure everyone sees it.
Just a reminder for a few things on the A.V. Fair Sled Pull.
Aug. 29
Gates/Registration Open at Noon
Tech Starts at 2
Drivers Meeting 6:30
Pull at 8
Pullers, please do your best to have suitable hitches.
While we have adopted NADM rules for this event, don't be scared of or discouraged by the rules, especially the safety items. The rules are very similar to last year with the addition of a work stock class.
A showroom stock vehicle will be allowed to pull in Work Stock with no additional equipment, but we will recommend the safety items.
In 2.6, the additional safety items will be more strongly encouraged, such as driveshaft shields, loops and exhaust.
For the Superstreet class, we will expect to see a solid effort on as many of the safety items as possible. Again, in the long run, safe trucks will benefit the sport.
Modified is the only class that will require every rule to be met, safety and otherwise, no exceptions there. This wil not affect most.
The point is, we want to start getting pullers on board with safety, because I think it is important, but we realize that it wouldn't be realistic to suddenly expect pullers to meet all safety rules. Show up with a sound vehicle that fits the class you intend to pull in, upper classes put some effort in to safety, and lets have a good pull and continue to grow the sport out west. We will make recommendations and encourage safety items, but are not looking to eliminate people from pulling.
Don't forget we have over a $4,000 cash purse too! Pre register and save $5.
