Shitty, I'm not sure why we have no stack rule??


One word:
Perception

That one word can lead to alot of :baby:

While not always apparent to the pullers or the trucks with x, y, or z mods. It becomes apparent when you become an officer of a club when you have competitors bitching and or asking questions, as well as promotors, fair board members, and even the fans in the stands asking questions to you about x, y, or z.

Also forgot, be thorough doing the "after pull" inspections as well (which there should be for the top trucks). I'm pretty sure someone was able to sneak propane by me last year at a pull in Northampton when I was teching.

A checklist is best as you don't forget something and can be fair to all competitors (you don't have guys saying they went top to bottom on my truck but barely looked at another), and use scales to your advantage for low trucks if you need to look under them and along framerails.

I'm pretty sure hoodstacks are fine this year Justin. At least that's what I thought what was voted on after Hebron last year.

I'm glad to see they are interested in getting more serious in tech. I'm more than confident you will do a great job. :)

Unless those are old rules they state exhaust must exit upwards and behind the cab.

Do you guys require registration and insurance to run?

You can pull one time without all the stuff but if you were to come back again you would need everything. In southern new England you would be in super street, but that's not a big deal a stock charger truck won the points last year. And Jesse they might be last years rules because we changed them over the winter so guys like you or tod could come out. It's just not a open drive line class like the mass truck pullers is now.

If my truck meets the rules I'd be in for a couple of your pulls. Todd is going open driveline this year so I guess he's out.
