I'd surely go back again, don't think they invite trucks back unless they won though.

The truck had great power and should of finished in the top 4. I did many things wrong, but had a great time. Truck was great, driver was not.

I could not hook up on the drag strip at all and only was running 12.4'. Hooking up with the 13,000 pound trailer proved to be tough also. I had the MPH on the drag strip to be in the top group, just could not get it on the track.

The sled pull hurt my standing badly. It was my first time and I had the truck setup all wrong, it turns out. Truck hopped all over the place and I had to feather the throttle to try and keep it on the ground.

Tried some new software for the tranny on the dyno, and that back fired as the truck would go into neutral while trying to load it on the dyno. Never had a clean pull.

I did tow a trailer to and from the event with my truck. I was the only one to do that.
