This is a good thread. Thanks guys for asking.
Mitch I have never raced like this either. I am wondering how to do it with my set up as well.

Do they allow open faced helmets???
I wne tot the local ATV/Motorcycel place and htye had nothign in my size except for Open Faced and Crotch Rocket Shield style helmets..
Hard to believe the only ATV plac ein 60 mi. doesn't ahve a single LARGE helmet in stock!!!
Aparently the Norm isn't the norm in GREENVILLE, NC!!!
BTW: I wiehged the truck on the CAT Certified Scales.. Gross is 6,980#'s without my Fat-@ss in it...
I'm removing everythign tommorow and going to get a RACE WIEGHT!!! Teehehehehe:cool2:

Yes they do...Your truck weighs about what mine does...How you doing in the HP department?
I'm pulling Spare, Tail-gate, Tool-box( est. 200-250 lbs.), bed-mat (est. 35 lbs.), and all the junk in the cab ( est. 50lbs.).. I thought about the rear seat since I never use is anyway, its always up so my dog can ride!!!
I'm hoping for a race wieight of approx. 6,600 #'s... We will find out tommorow afternoon!!!!
Just to say it..
With BFG's 285's M/T's.. and a Draw-Tite Gooseneck.. and big tube steps i still got her down to 6,440#'s... Thats with 3/4's tank of fuel!!!
I could get it to 6,300 with the draw-tite removed, but I need it for the truck-pulls!!!

when you are moving from prestage to stage. as big will said tow/haul and 4hi. go to your launch RPM while holding the brake and gently release the brake a bit to move forward. dont move the whole distance at once but just "bump in" this will keep you staging in the same spot also which will make your reaction times a lil bit slower as you have more ov a distance to travel before you trip the lights and the timer. however it will decrease your ET as you have more of a head of steam built up before you trip the lights and the timers. we call this staging shallow. if you need help with your RT then stage a lil bit deeper. this will slow your ET but decrease the distance you have to travel before you trip the beams. therefore help your RT. hope this helps
