Sorry about the F bomb at end of vid . Forgot to warn you all if kids are in earshot . One of my friends exited for me .

The truck weighs 11,800 lbs and I had 10 90 lb. bags of concrete up against tailgate . Didnt get on the scales as I was exhibition . So 12,700 lbs . is my honest guess .

It was a walk in the park till the weight transfered , then holy crap do you feel it drag you down . I let it pull me to a stop and let off the throttle . Still killed the motor with converter locked .

Pulled it 302 ft. :thumb:

Did well though for first pull . I have a bigger turbo soon so there will be more HP also to turn up the rpm and wheel speed next time out . Looking for another pull to go to up north of me soon .

I want to see it from that perspective . He showed me it last night . Much different view from the stands . glad you made it out though . At least you got to see the rest of the big boys pull .

Not really sure about mph , but it felt like I was moving pretty good . Never looked at the gauges or the speedo . I matted it and enjoyed the ride . :D

Yeah your run was pretty impressive, I was at the end of the track and loved the sound of your boost release at the end of your run. I was on the blade mixing the track, I thought the track was a little dry, what did you think?

I would post my video, but it's pretty much just like Tony's and Garrett's since I was standing right there with them.

Did you ever figure out if that was a 2wd run or 4wd run? Looking at my video it doesn't look like your front tires are spinning.

Yea it was definately dry . You can see the white smoke off the tires at the end of the run . Thanks for preppin the track for all of us . It was still a good surface to me . :) Much Appreciate the work you put in out there .

I think I was turnng all 6 . The fronts just didnt have any weight on them . If you look really close on a few of the vids you can see the tires move on take off and kick up some dirt along the way a bit . I think I was just so ass heavy that there wasnt much weight on the front tires . I checked the hubs and the driveline for being locked after and it was . Sure didnt feel like it at the end of the run . Sled stopped me dead in my tracks . :D

Post the vid on youtube and the link here if you want anyways . All footage is good footage . I was using this thread to post all the footage I found of the runs .

Thanks, I kept telling the man in charge it needed more water but they were afraid of getting it too slick. I read about your truck awhile back and when I saw a big kodiak on the lineup I was pretty sure it was you. I told everyone if this who I think it is, its gonna be good. You didn't fail to impress, keep it going and hope to see you next year.

Next time put the weight up in the cab as far forward as you can. The sled will take care of the traction in the rear. Nice job. :cool:

Thanks , you are right there . Had 10 90 lb bags at tailgate . Should have put them in the truck on passenger floor board . You can see it was all rear tire doing the work in vid . Not even sure that would have helped much and it needs to be way out front .

I liked the pulling and want to do it again .
