helo!! was wondering if anyone out there who attended the b bow pull . hoping for feed back on how we could make things better. or easier or wat ever. and if we get realllllly crazy we mite put one on in feb.
let me know thank you!!!!

What are you doing over here Cherilyn?? :D
You can go through my Broken Bow thread and see all of us that were there. You could have payed my hook fees ):h and maybe followed me around with an umbrella :eek:

helloooooooooooo kyle. im over here just to pester you.... and i had noo idea where to find you. greg helpd me find it in the north central spot. i am blonde member?? as if north central stuck out in the ten million spots to look on the forum jump. sheesh!!! haha:eek::eek::eek:

Lol, cool :cool: Need any answers just PM me :D.

We all liked the indoor track last Feb and this past weekend. IF you have it again keep it inside. Track is more consistent inside. Other than that it has always been a great time. I think it was nicer in Feb this year there than in Oct weather wise.

I was at the pull last February when they had it indoors. I was only there as a spectator, but seemed to be a pretty good pull. Couldn't make this past october pull because of harvest, but I'm HOPING there is going to be another pull up there this coming February. That's about the only time we are not in field doing something! I know if you do have a pull in Fed my brother and I will will be there for sure with our dmax's.

Anyone else have any ideas? I've been bugging Cherilyn to get something rolling :D.

I am a little late to this but the Broken Bow pull was great despite the weather. I really hope they do it again in February. ill be there more the likly. I am really going to miss Greg with his pull sled. He is one off the nicest guys Ive met an all the pullers really liked him. All in all Broken bow was great. Great pulling an great people.

I talked with Cherlyn today and it looks like everything is a go except she still needs to find a sled. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

We can put a powerstroke and cummins on a sheet of plywood and just use that for a sled.:eek::D I actually like the outside tracks better, but sloverado is right about the track being the same as it always is and its surely easier on the trucks with it being that loose.

:D :D :D

Cool, well I'll let everyone know as soon as Cherilyn gets a sled lined out.

I'll be there in febuary
I wasn't able to make the october hook

broken bow, oklahoma?

broken bow, oklahoma?

Sorry, Nebraska!!!!

Tenatively the plan is for Feb 20th or 21st or both depending on what all we decide to pull.

Sounds good Kyle! Keep us posted. I'm looking forward to the pull!

that pull is gonna come faster then im ready for:rolleyes:

Are you guys kidding? It was disgusting when we moved inside and the diesels started pulling. You couldn't stand to be in the building it got so smokey. If you pull in Feb. and the diesels are there maybe some fans from the fire department would work. :eek:

Help me with ideas digger460. I've been trying to think up a way to move the smoke out. Nothing is set yet but I'm sure hoping it will go. Done it in Feb the last 2yrs.

You agree with me that the smoke was bad in Oct. don't you? What about fans from the fire department? Everything else would be cost prohibitive. What about turning down the smoke from your diesels?

Oh yeah it was making my throat scratchy :( and I couldn't video well enough. On mine I need a bigger charger to clear it up. Landons and Toms trucks are just going to smoke regardless. I'll ask about fans from the FD.

OK. Get a construction company to donate plastic corrugated pipe and come up with a steel tubing that can connect to any diesel exhuast system some how, then after the steel tubing connected the plastic corrugated pipe like about 12" inside diameter and get like 350 feet of it and run the plastic pipe all the way out side. Thats the best way to do it. I dont think it would be to expensive as long as you can get some one to do the custom exhuast connector. I could be missing some things but i think thats how they have done it with indoor tractor pulls. If they are going to keep doing two pulls a year there i think its well worth building this system.

They have a big exhaust collector at those big pulls back east bu they run $120,000 :eek: :eek:.
If we could get the pipe donated it might work. Just have to have a couple kids drag the pipe back after each hook.

Myers Construction might donate what you need. I know he is a big sponsor to the pulls they have around there. I talked to my dad he said the corrurgated pipe shouldnt be to expensive.

Any word on a sled rental yet?

From what they have told me and what I found out getting one shouldn't be an issue. It's paying for it where the issue is currently. I'm going to try to talk to Cherilyn and Ernie soon and find out what the word is.

Any word on a sled rental yet?

What sled are you thinkin about

I've been given info for Sudden Impact,X-Factor,and a 3/4 sized Ironman. No one wants to pull the ShowBoat.

Frosty has a good idea with the pipe but I think you would need some suckin at the outside end. The smoke would get half way and want to come back.

yeah digger i think your right, but the next step i think someone is going to need to work with whoever the sled operators are to make it work. I know that part of the system needs to be mounted on the sled so there isnt some much weight hanging the exhuast system.

The tricky part is going to be adapting said tube setup to different exhaust systems.. (1 stack, 2 stacks, single out back, duals out back, stack out the hood, etc)... But it's not just doing it, it's doing it in a timely fasion.. Not everyone likes waiting 10 minutes between trucks...

I do agree it got very smokey inside when we were there last year, and something should probably be done, but it could be tough to come up with something that's less of a hassle than the smoke itself....

just my thoughts
TW

:)hey guys!!!!!
sorry took sooo long for me to chat back!!
dang computers.
heres the scoop so far. we have gotten info from xfactor for two sleds he wants 2 grand a nite. however we do not need two sleds. so not sure if he will come 8 hours for just one sled.
kyle has gotten us info on another one outa south dakota and also talkd with ol iron sides guy, dave and he is high also but super nice guy , would like to meet him sum day. .. Anyway we are having a meeting as soon as the holidays are over to make a decision.
if we hadnt blown our bank acct on our october pull we would be setting pretty. now we are starting from scratch.
the smoke is an issue, if you went last feburary we didnt have any problems. the weather was gorgeous. and we had a slight breeze and didnt really have a smoke issue. we also didnt have the number of diesels in octbr. the building has exhaust vents from end to end- however in oct it was still and we couldnt even see in there. gurrr
so if we could get fans up there or sumthing that mite help suck it out the top. would be less work than an exhaust system that hooks to the trucks...for us anyway. as soon as we find a sled i will let you guys know. its super awesume that you all want to come up here i just wish we could get the community involved more. thanks for being sooo patient with us.

Thanks for posting up Cherilyn :cool:.

well maybe theres a way to set the building up like kearney and hang up big ass fans (thats the name of the fans). www.bigassfans.com (http://www.bigassfans.com) i know kearney had them before a tornado killed the building.

You guys might contact 2Poor4Power about Kearney a few years back. I helped him out with the diesel pickup pull, it was pretty smokey there at the end as well. I can't remember if the fans were running or not. The smoke seems to hang up high in the building initially so, if you could catch it there and pull or push it out. Whatever you end up doing I'm sure everyone will appreciate it.

I have been talking with Todd some. And trying to get some input from him.

I dont think guys would want to make the drive to pull a stock tuned truck.

I dont think guys would want to make the drive to pull a stock tuned truck.

I agree with you 100%, the crowd always seems to be more responsive to the smokers for some reason vs. the smoke free diesels. Guess it's part of the image the tractors set up for us.

Here is a sled.

hello!!!
hope everyone had a mery christmas and a happy new year.
we have gota kik it in the butt now and get this going. we are typing up some
things today for sponsors and guna set a meeting date after sunday. some of our club members are out of state just waitn for them to return. and we will let you all know. thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D

I hope your Ford made it back together over the holidays cause I'm eager to see it pull. I'll have spare Ford parts in my trailer just in case,for a small fee ):h.

I'm trying to talk some CO guys I know into coming up.

I am looking forward to the news. I will definately try to make it if I am not working. Stupid rotating shifts.

hello guys. we have just had a meeting. ...... we are battleing and insurance issue that might shut us down for having a pull. we belong to a group called platte valley. they do not have their annual meeting to discuss insurance until the 31st of january. that doesnt give us enough time to put a pull together that fast. we are trying to see if the lions club will put on the pull with their insurance. the fairboard will not cover any events such as ours. so we are trying to prolong the date to march.... what do you guys think of that??? date???? every weeknd open but the 21st for our indoor building. let me know. and thanks again. we ARE trying.:eek:

Come on guys help Cherilyn with ideas :cool:.
Seems to me we should be able to get an insurance company to do pull by pull coverage but it may be spendy :rolleyes:

depending on platte valley if they dont fold this year, they go thru allied ins i believe and they said it would be 175 per pull wich sounds great to me. just gotta wait that out until dang meeting. we are hoping our local seed representitive shells out some seed for donations and hope we can even round up prize money for you guys also.
mike out of south dakota with the predator sled is giving us pricing for his sled at a flat of 1700.00 wich sound great. that is for 4 hours. anything after that is 100.00 an hour. so easily 2000.00 for our normal show. we are NOT doing any tractors. yea yea yea!!!
will keep you all posted . thanks!!!:D:D

I am sure March is fine. I don't think anyone will be upset with that. Another month of getting trucks ready is always good for a puller. The pull in kearney used to be the 3rd weekend on March. We still had trucks that couldn't come due to being in pieces.
Insurance has come in the way of other events in the past couple years so I feel for you. How expensive is it to get a 24hr insurance plan? I have heard of people doing it. I think it may be fairly expensive but you can get something like $1mil worth of insurance for that one day period.

$175 wouldn't be too bad. Have you found any sponsors yet Cherilyn??

ummmmmm theres this kyle guy that was donating like 5grand I think :D:D:D:p:and we are gunna get randy to do his best work (talking) to the seed rep. i have put in an application to Becton Dickenson, our local factory for a donation. other wise we are goin to hit up all our small businesses and maybe not have a pull on the fourth of july here in merna.

This guy Kyle is in CO right now enjoying himself :D. We'll talk about that donation later :eek:. BTW, I believe Ernie said he'd match my donation. Lol!!!

That guy kyle has donated several thousands of dollars at other pulls in the past.:D He should be able to pull through this time!!:eek:):h

hellllloooooo. we are on our way to a pull in march. hopefully the 28th if that works for you guys. definately more time for us to find monetary sponsors and to get my pick up moving again. let me know.;)

I take it Ernie didn't like my idea of matching donations ):h. I know he's reading this over your shoulder :D.

I think the 28th will work for most guys unless they are starting field work.

he said (over my shoulder) that it was him paying 10cents to everydollar you donate.........or........you have to sit in office and do all the paperwork durring the pull.up to u i guess:D:D ha ha and great for the 28th we are to know for sure tomoro. dang that means i have to get back to work. yukkkkkk:mad:

Lol! Nice try :D. I think I would get in trouble in the office :eek: ):h.

On topic I sure appreciate you and Ernie working so hard at this.

March would be better for me. Seeing for some reason frostbite didnt want to start the other day. I may need the time to save up for a new top end. Im kinda scared to see whats gonna happen at the platte valley meeting however.

awesummmm!!!! really hoping you all make it down we are in a meeting as we speak. any diesel guys out there checkn the thrread. we have question. do we wana do two weight classes like we did last time? we did 8500 and 8000. or jus one?

The people I have talked to would like 2 classes. Some don't like pulling 8500, plus more hooks!

will do then. any feed back is appreciated. we are trying to make this pull a good one for you guys. any tips are great.

You know we have to have two :D. More hooks equals more chance to win money. I was about to call you. Been a while since I got an update.

stickn with 8000 and 8500 then? we have the school and area people donating fans to rid us of smoke. we are up to stock and modified gassers the modified hot runners like the nebraska truck pullers and yur two diesels. so we are getting a kick start. bring your cash kyle!!!!!!!!!!!!:p:

Lol! What cash. Ernie hasn't made me think he's donating any :eek:.
I might need some advice on getting that help to come I was telling ya I should bring to help you :o:.

Cool,I'll start working on getting my buddys in CO to come up.

going for a 1pm start. will have a food vendor and guna really try to shoot for last time money.

I'd rather see a 7500 and 8500 pound class or there abouts

I'll still weigh 8000lbs for the 7500lbs class :eek: cause I can't even come close to weighing 7500lbs.

I'd rather see a 7500 and 8500 pound class or there abouts

hmmmm what do you guys usually run for classes when you go elsewhere??

normally around here its 7500 and 8500

What is the handicap for being over weight,cause I'm pulling both classes. If I pulled seats and toolbox's I might make 7700.

sweet!!! most likely thats what we will do. hope your all coming down to show us your stuff!!!!!

We usually have 7500 or 7800 and an 8500 pound class

In a 8500 lbs class I usually hang 15-1700 off the front and throw 500 in the back

7800lbs would be better that 7500lbs.

got a while to decide but sounds maybe a 7800 and 8500? and kyle if you get all your farmer stuff off your flatbed maybe youd make weight??? haha:rolleyes:

What farmer stuff? I don't have a caker on it...........yet :eek:. I think I could hit 10,000lbs if I wanted to :D.
I think I'll plan on a 7800lbs and 8500lbs class unless anyone objects. I gotta get all these details wrapped up so we can get this stuff down on paper.


got a while to decide but sounds maybe a 7800 and 8500? and kyle if you get all your farmer stuff off your flatbed maybe youd make weight??? haha:rolleyes:

7800&85 sounds good to me

we are also in the process of starting us a website so we can have you all visit that. will let you know wen that happens.

Any idea on weight classes for the Street Mod Gas Class?? Also, I'm assuming it will be DOT street tires only??

we have been discussin this. previously in our club we hav a light mod class that weights are 5300lbs and under and over . max weight was 9600.
we have been tossing it around of doing a 5500 and 6500 class.

for the tires our rules say for stock they are DOT tires . unlimited size as for light mod class our max size is 33 inch and DOT IS not required. one of our guys has pivot type tires. so bring it on!!!!! can get yu a website address tonight to c all the rules.

are they going to keep the nebraska mod trucks out of the light mod class. CAUSE that Lil red express truck spank us all in the heavy mod class in october, i was under the influence that we had a hyrdrualic lifters only rule. Its probly not a big deal but i was just curious.

A 5500 and 6500 class is doable, but we are built for 5800 and 6500. Not a big deal. The tires are not a big deal either. Pretty confident with our streets against the bar tires. So if we're running a roller setup, where do we fall into play?? Is there enough Mod Gas trucks to separate them?? I hate to show up to pull against myself. Although, if the Big Red Express was there that would make it a little more fun.

idk for sure if there would be enough trucks to seperate. But they had the blue chevy from nebraska tractor pullers THEE TOY and The Dodge express truck and digger from south dakota is getting to be a pretty hot truck now also. Its not a big deal if i really wanted to compete i wouldnt still be running a small block.

we are planning to have the platte valley classes of stock and light modified 4x4 classes. we also had planned on having a couple of classes of heavy modified trucks like the nebraska pullers. then the diesel stock and the 2.5 and 2.8. two weight classes for each. not going to get real stickey with the heavy rules. too many different clubs from too far away to match up anything. thats why we kinda let the diesels decide how to run in feb. we are here to dig the track and let you pull.:D:D

Get yourself a EFI Live tuned 8.1 Vortec in that 67 and spank him good :D. Turbo wouldn't hurt either. Lol! Really make that little Dodge cry.

are they going to keep the nebraska mod trucks out of the light mod class. CAUSE that Lil red express truck spank us all in the heavy mod class in october, i was under the influence that we had a hyrdrualic lifters only rule. Its probly not a big deal but i was just curious.

We'll probably be flexible on the 2.8 class cause there will probably be a couple 3.0 class trucks there :eek:.

about time the tech man chimed in. and here is the website addresss to anyone needing the stock and light modified rules. www.neb-sandhills.net/pvtp (http://www.neb-sandhills.net/pvtp) or type in platte valley pullers and should be able to find it.

So make it a 3.0 class or have them bush it down? Most 3.0 guys I know have a 2.8 bushing.

What do you think we should do with the Twin'd guys?? I invited a couple guys with Twin'd trucks. How do you suggest placing them??

So make it a 3.0 class or have them bush it down? Most 3.0 guys I know have a 2.8 bushing.

3.0 atmosphere charger, weight penalty for the second charger (300lbs is common for the penalty).

Usually i see twins pulling in a modified class with no turbo size limit. To bad we dont have more trucks to be in a class like that.

I think there are too many guys driving their trucks daily around here to get too many mod trucks. They are fun to watch though. In this area we need to get a competitive 3.0 class before guys step up to the point of no return with a mod truck. IMHO

I believe we will see more guys running twins when they are allowed to pull with trucks that are more their competition as opposed to always having to jump up to the unlimited class and get it handed to them. I think that is why the weight penalty came into play. NW Missouri pullers put the rule into effect 2 season's ago and it is catching on in other places too. I see nebraska power pullers added that rule this year too. By them adding that rule this year I have heard of some guys revisiting the idea of twins.
The guys who drive their trucks on a daily basis like the rule because they can still use the 300 or more rpm on the street that they will ultimately lose by going to a large single. While still enjoying themselves on the weekend.

These are my opinions obviously and I am sure the pull will go well how ever you guys set it up. Can't please them all right? Good luck.

The different classes really doesn't make much difference to me. I'm just glad there is a pull that's close to my area for once!! We are def looking forward to the pull!! Should be a great time!

What are you guys talking about when you say 2.8 and 3.0?

What are you guys talking about when you say 2.8 and 3.0?


Turbocharger inducer size

I think we are going to see quite a few trucks in the 2.5 class and at least 5 trucks in 2.8/3.0,possibly more if I get some of my CO buddys up there.

:eek:yikes!!! ya all are scaring me here. um if we need to add a diesel class that would be fine. just so its all fair runnin. not knowing who and how many are coming is what slows us down. would rock if we had a buttload of classes had a huge turn out!!! i mite even buy the refreshments!!! :D keep giving me ideas and we willl definately have it figured out by march 28th!!!

I might be moved back to illinois by the time pull happens. I will try and come out for it though. Who knows...maybe bring a couple buddies with me. Prolly a cummins for the 2.5 with some mods.

that would be really awesum!!! hope to c u come over!!! didnt think we would have another pull with greg being out of thebusiness until all the response from you guys. all 4 of us members are working hard on gettin this to be worth your time to travel here!!! whooohoooo!!!!! so pak ur bags!!!

Refreshments are good. Last time it sure was at least :cool:.

Greg

Finally out of jail?:D:DRedemption? Does that mean your gunna bring the turbin and actually get it down the track??Hmmmm???

workn on hittin the sponsors up for money. we are doing two pulls this year again and gunna go to them with a package offer. two pulls = pay more= more advertizing from us. any way we also have to have prize money to go to the winners, can anyone help me with payoouts?? we had 1700.00 in october to give out. however we didnt have sled costs. we have sled costs and pot money to round up.
can you guys tell me what a normal payout is for the pulls you go to? just need an idea to give us a goal to try to hit.
THANKS!!!

:Get_him:WHEN R U MOVING TO ILL??:D:D

Hell, if i get first or second place im gonna go to the bahamas!!!:eek::D

I can't see how you will get sponsers for payouts. I went to Broken Bow in October and there were 6 people in the audience. Sponsers usually like to have an audience. I can't imagine having many more than that in March beings it will be colder than crap still. Don't get me wrong I had a good time. And I wouldn't mind if there were no payouts at the March pull. Sometimes I think we have a better time when there are no payouts. One thing I do like is not having to pay hook fees or entrance fees. My truck is in a million pieces right now and am trying to get it back togeter for March but seems doughtful.

pullin girl....thanks for your hard work putting a pull together!!!!!

actually if yu had went last feb ,we had to keep telln the crowd to back away from the track . we had three big bleechers full o people. we were indoors and we advertized that. we never charged anything to get in. in october it was just a shitty day. rain and cold and advertized outside. we were just screwd there.
as for our sponsors,,, we are on our 4th year pulling here in merna as an annual event and we have our local trust worthy sponsors. all we did last time was advertize for them twice instead of once and that was a good deal. this year we are hopin for them to step it up for two pulls. broken bow in march and merna in july. so with our four members we WILL conquer and have pay outs for you guys.
and your welcome!!! i like to pull myself so hosting an event is an all together much larger high than just entering. hope you all get ur trucks runnin!! vvvrroooom vvvrrroommm!

IM useally lucky to see 50 bucks for 1st normally. Got a 100 bucks for last place when i pulled CTTPA.:D

I would love to say that the payout makes the pullers come but it isn't always the case. We payed out ~$750 for first, ~$500 second ~$300 for third for the Kearney indoor pull 2 springs ago and we got a few Nebraska pullers and quite a bit of interest from Missouri. Still not a ton of trucks. I think if we could have done it for one more year it may have been different. I think consistency helps so pullers can plan on it each year.

thanks for letting me know. just wana take care of the pullers.
;)

Ummm... I just wanna go to a pull. haha

You can actually win money pullin???:coolnana::coolnana:

Yeah,I won over $1000 last year :D at all the pulls I made it to. Spent it all on fuel though :rolleyes:.

You can win but you will never get enough to get you ahead lol.

Any updates????

still workn away. deciding on switching sleds at the moment. waiting for responses from local motels for discounts. getin our website hooked up here sometime. time is all me needs.:D any other questions from anybudy?

From what I gathered, the pull is going to start at 1 pm. Is there going to be a specific time to weigh-in/register?? Just want to make sure we get on the road early enough. Also, just out of curiosity, are there any 110v sources outside or is a generator needed??

Thanks,

Since we're starting at 1pm I'd like to see you guys there at 10:30-11:00am for tech/weigh in since there is going to be a lot of trucks. That'll give us plenty of time to make sure everyone pulls in the correct class.
If you show up earlier that's fine too cause I will be there as early as possible. I am 3hr away so I'll try to make it by 9:30-10:00am.

yea ten would work great. and depends what you need for power for electrical needs. there are outlets in the building and also camper hook ups out side with power hook ups. did you come up last feb or oct.?

DON'T FORGET: For those of you that are coming from out West. You will lose an hour because of the time change.:eek:

So what are the classes gonna end up being for diesels? a 2.5" and a 2.8" or will there be a 3.0? What about someone running a small set of compounds (3.0" atmosperic)... Need some more iiiiiinput

later, TW

Well one thing for sure is you won't be in the 2.5 class anymore :eek:.

For sure 2.5 and 2.8 I need to figure out what we have for 3.0 guys. Brody truck is a 3.0 and I have a couple other guys that may be in a 3.0 Class.

Edit: I think we will do a 300lbs handicap for Twins and 3.0 trucks.

here!! dont look at the rust!!

what the @#$@#$% red x's? my computer shows a nice pic of my really cool traction bars on the thread. so there!!:p:

I don't see any pics either. nothing but red x's

hmmm... maybe there top secret. Anyway we put a new timing chain in my brothers new stock puller. Hopefully they can get the engine timed ok without me while im gone. Frostbites ready... she purrrs now:D

Still waiting to hear from the engine builder. If all is good, we will be there. Quite a few small things to do as well, however, if we hit it hard the weekend before, everything will be ready.

Digger, is the truck going to be ready?? I checked out your MySpace page. It looks like you are making quite a few changes, but it seems to be coming along nicely.

We're anxious to pull with some other trucks!!

No. Won't make it. I got myself in even deeper this past weekend. I removed the rear springs and am going with a solid suspension. I always did have a blocked rear suspension but don't want that anymore. And now since I know I can't make it to Broken Bow I want to do a new weight rack. I'll keep my eye on the C.N.P. web page for other pulls this summer. And hopefully another Broken Bow pull in the Fall like last year.

Less than 2 more weeks!!! Looks like i may be moving back to nebraska from illinois in a few days.

Cool! Ya get back on at BN??

Less than 2 more weeks!!! Looks like i may be moving back to nebraska from illinois in a few days.

Ive been with BN for the whole time, i just transferred back to illinois....and then back to alliance. Im thinking that i will be back to alliance wednesday night...thats the plan so far.

Well im back from cloverdale indiana...boy we are small fish in a very very big pond in the pulling world lol. David Wenske who had the little red dodge truck in brokenbow in october took 10th out of 20 and sean blackburn took 18th. The red dodge dually that was at brokenbow in october was there too but the results for most of the classes arnt in yet.

Theres a sled pull every single weekend out here in illinois during the season. A LOT of competition:eek:......a lot of fun though to.

I talked to Dave back in Feb. He said that as long as he did not break anything in IN, he would be coming to BB. Looks like he did pretty good for having to put on street tires. He normally runs bar tires. If some of the NE Tractor Puller's trucks show up, it should be a pretty good Mod Gas Class. Is SledDawg making an appearance??

yes he will be there. But with his truck? idk he broke an axel in indiana.

This All Sounds Sooo Awesome!!! Hope We Have Good Warm Weather Like This Week And Have A Good Turn Out!!
:d:d

hey frosty! how did you do? greg went also....did you watch him?

I was going to stop and talk to Greg yesterday but I didn't see his truck and figured he was still gone.

Frostbite: How did Brodys dually run in Ill??

I didnt pull, the guys in Sean and Daves class where pushing upwards of 900hp from what i was told.
Greg and Linda had a ball, but neither placed out of there each 3 pulls i think they both only had one that wasnt DQ. They where having problems with blowing the intake manifold apart because of the elevation and how they had them jetted.
I only got to watch the pro street diesel 2.8 class, so i dont know how he did in the the pro-stock diesel class 3.0. But was neat to see how the diesel trucks pulled indoors. They all had to make there own custom exhuast systems just for it.

Here are a few pics i took on my trip to indiana

Here is Greg's Old Sled, its like brand new now.

Heres a pic of sean getting ready to pull after the guy in front of him. As you can see from under that truck these guys dont play around.

sounds like maybe got a one or two guys interested in coming down from indiana:eek:

Frostbite: How did Brodys dually run in Ill??

Im back in alliance. When we gonna put my traction bars on kyle???:D

I was wondering if all the exhaust stuff is needed for the indoor pull, like to run it into a tube. In the workstock diesel will an electric kill work instead of the air like it reads in the rules. Also any idea of the payouts??

No exhaust stuff is required. Hopefully it will be warm and we can pull outside. The kill isn't required either but it's alright if you have it.
I can't say for certain on payout because I don't know how much sponsor money Cherilyn and Ernie got or how many entries we'll have. $200 went to the guy who won both weight class's in Oct in the 2.5 class.

I'll call you and maybe you can come out in the evening one day this week or weekend. You should come out the day I put my trans back in :eek: :D.

I dont think you will need a killswitch or shutoff for workstock.....I think they kinda let those things slide. Cherilyn or Kyle can answer that for sure....guys???

When are u putting the trans in?

bring it and smoke it up!! as for the kill switch thats kyle...
and payouts so far we are working with about 1750.00 for pay out.
last year we did 500 for diesel classes and down however we didnt really have prostock mod gas classes. we will be meeting friday to decide what goes where. hope to be gettn some of my last sponsors this week to add to pot.
thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! see you there.

Whenever I get my t-case half from Landon and put it together. It should have been here already but I hope to see it today or tomorrow. Maybe Sat or Sun.

When are u putting the trans in?

Well kyle....t-case yet???

NO :mad:!!!! Will keep ya posted.

Well kyle....t-case yet???

Is there a way way we can park at the fairgrounds the nite before? I think we are coming up friday evening.

Landon just called me and it's on the way :D. He had a death in the family :( and wasn't able to return my calls till today. He said he wouldn't be able to make it either. I was hoping he would but he has a lot on his plate right now.

Well hope it gets there soon....i dont know if im gonna be able to make it. Dont really have the money for that right now...we'll see.

Just call me and let me know when ya want to do the traction bars. Today and tomorrow look crappy,weatherwise :rolleyes:.

Well hope it gets there soon....i dont know if im gonna be able to make it. Dont really have the money for that right now...we'll see.

Is the pull going to be a go no matter what, or what type of weather will cause a cancellation?? If the weather gets in the way of things, is a reschedule likely?? We're really hoping that the weather turns out decent, and we all can have a good time!! Not looking the best right now, but we all know that could definately change by Sat.

Im pretty sure its no matter what. But however if it is indoors i would like to see all the trucks be able to be park inside. Side by side along side of the track like they do at some indoor pulls. But there will probly be too many trucks to fit them like that.

Pretty sure there wouldnt be enough room since there will prolly be a decent crowd standing in there to. I think the pull is indoors no matter what.

There's definately NOT enough room to park inside. I'm guessing we'll have more spectators this time. Currently it's showing 40 degrees for Sat in Broken Bow so I'm guessing it'll be inside. I was hoping to have 65 degrees so it could be outside. We'll keep everyone posted.

What?! You think theres room inside?? How many trucks were coming again? I cant see all the trucks fitting with all the spectators in there to.

Edited.

it is inside . we didnt even think about outside after october. and the track infront of the grandstands are a mud pit right now. hoping for 50 saturday. guna have fans up top to assist with smoke and if we have a slight breeze we got it made. wish we had a building big enough to park in but legally we have to be 30 ft away from crowd plus it takes 25 ft to set up bleechers. so that does take away lots of room. i beleive we are going to have wonderful weather and have lots of contestants!!! myself included. whoo hoooo !!!!!!! also the fair board is having a consession stand in middle of the bleechers and our money pot for payouts is growing. sooo bring it on. also last year we had a get together at huckelberrys bar.... they raped us on the price and had like an old reject willie nelson band playing..so we didnt book anything with them. just think we can get together there or sylvesters afterwards for a bit of socializing!! hope that sounds ok!! have glen grint of Under Pressure Racing as our announcer and sound system man. will have the lions club at the fairgrounds gate directing you to the pits and we have different colord arm bands for pits and bleechers.

Right now it will be a miracle to make it to broken bow for us. The blizzard put 4 to 5 feet of snow in our yard... and there is another one coming tomorrow:(

mother nature is such a hag!! i swear shes been drunk for the last dam year...... last weekend was freaking 72 degrees and now look what the #%$@@@@ is doing to us!!! gur gur gur!! just drive frostbite thru the snow you will make it!!!!!!!!!

Well if the sun keeps out and melts must everything for the rest of the day i think we will be alright.

Is there anyplace we can park a semi overnite at the fairgrounds or somthing friday nite?????

Theres the parking lot at the grocery store there. haha. I would guess u could maybe just pull right into the fair grounds. Im not sure though.

Supposed to be 51 saturday so I think we'll be OK.

all kinds of parking friday at the fairgrounds, go to the south side of the big building for the pit area. we have no snow here at all. hoping what ever crap is comin this way will go around us. just remember if the xfactor can make it from jefferson city, mo.
YOU CAN MAKE IT HERE!!!!
IF he makes it and you dont..............he beat your trucks!!!:p::muahaha::muahaha:

Anywho we are going to load the trucks tonite, and if weather permits we will leave after work tomarrow.

( still no snow, just wind. )

Trans is together and almost in but still no t-case half :(. May have to re-assemble the old pieces and hope it works for 2 passes :o:.

omg nothing like down to the last minute!!!
good luck!! goodness. hope you work under pressure well. thats when i get most of my stuff done.

It'll probably only take my brother an hour to assemble it once it's here and 30min for us to install. I just wish I knew where in the **** it was!

You all ready?

omg nothing like down to the last minute!!!
good luck!! goodness. hope you work under pressure well. thats when i get most of my stuff done.

Us guys from the southeast wont be making it. None of us got everything here in time to get are trucks ready. We are sorry but each year the one off parts are getting harder and harder to get in a timely fashion.

Just finished up mine and finished putting Dereks traction bars on.
Leaving at 6:00am :D.

Just got back from kyles place. Now have my bars on thanks to kyle. Im going to bed soon....im tires.:)

Get some video of all the diesels classes I want to see everyone run stock or not.

Well, I had a blast today even though I didn't drag my junk out to hook

I'll post some video up tonite or tomorrow

Videos HERE (http://www.youtube.com/user/pulltilbroke)

looked like a good time, how many diesels showed?

Looks like Todd beat me to it

Nice vids!! At least sumone was able to get'em.:)

nice vids I wish we would of been able to make it as I wanted to so bad. BUt have to get the bugs worked out first to make an ok showing. Oh well looks like it was stiff comp anyway and that is what we like.

Thanks for the vids. Had planned on going wife and the kids are sick!

It was good to see all you guys again. Hope everyone had a good time :cool:.

It was well worth the 200 mile drive! I want to be on the other side of the rope next go around.

FWIW, I did get several fairly nice still images of the trucks coming off the line. I will try to post them up in the next couple of days.

thank everyone for coming!! this is the first pull that actually went VERY SMOOTH. weather was awesum and i had a blast meetn ya all. hope to see you again sometime!!!!!

We had a good time too!! Everyone was really nice, and I think everything ran pretty dang smooth as well. The track was nice, sled was setup good, weather was perfect. Overall good time.

Did anyone happen to get any video of the gas classes.....preferrably the Mod Gas Class??

We sure had alot of fun at this pull. However i would like to see the stock gasser class rules a little more enforced I know a few where overweight. Overall we had a good time!!!:D

I think I got most of the mod gassers too

I'll have to put em up

If you could post the videos, that would be great!!

Frostbite, I thought you made two nice passes!! Once we got the truck loaded, I was going to stop over and say hi, but then I saw your trailer heading out. I'm sure you guys were ready to get back on the road. We did the same thing....loaded up and headed out.

Thanks, things could not have gone much smoother. That was my last pass with the ol' small block, im retiring it. Sorry we jumped out so soon. Btw what truck where you with?

Cool!! Are you building another small block, or are you going to jump up to a big block??

I had the flat black Ford (The Wood) that was parked off to your right. For some reason, my clutch was not slipping the best on my first hook. My second hook was alot better, but I still finished a little behind Wenske. It would have been nice to have a little taller gear in the tranny for that run:)!!!!
