Going to the lake county fair tomarrow night....or atleast am planning on it and the rules for my class is 9k# , programmer and no blocked suspension. I dunno where they came up with some of this but anyway my question is am I gonna run a risk of hurting anything not blocking? I always clamp, have traction bars and have all the neccesities that are needed. Never pulled with my setup now without blocking. Thanks guys Chris

I'd think if they're not letting you block they may not let you have the bars either. But you should be ok.

K thanks guys. If they dont let me run the bars then Im just gonna forget it. It just kinda seems pointless to me cuz that totally takes away any hitch height you may of had. Ill give her hell as usual and let you guys know

I'd still go for it. Just lower t-bars and clamp the springs. I couldn't run my blocks last weekend and did ok, but probably better if blocked.

Well it went alright just made the rear end sag like a bitch. I got first. Won it by about 25 ft over second so all in all a good night I guess :) Thanks for the help guys.

Chris what are you running for tires? Mine just don't seem to get enough traction to make a full pull.

Im running Bfg at's. Their 295/75-16's, Ive never ran sts or anything else but I love these tires to death and dont know if I would use a different one. They have enough bite to make me fall under the charger at some tracks at the end. I would HIGHLY recommend them.
