I'm so mad i got there late and missed it. The rest of the show was good too though. Looks like you did pretty good. I'll be at the one at malad on the 10th too, I'll be pullin at that one if I get all my stuff together by then, but doubt i will. If not, I'll be pullin at the one in Tremonton, Utah on the 24th of July. And yeah I should be at the one in Rexburg too. I'll be at the Malad one though even if I'm watchin. It looks like you weren't spinnin much. Looks great! nice job

Looks like a really good start. Needs more fuel though!

Our first hook got rained out

You're going to have a hard time loading the Cummins up in 2nd gear low range. It wasn't lack of power that stopped you it was lack of traction and momentum,,, Try taking off in third or 4th low next time, and apologize to the clutch afterwards!

What gears do you have? I am assuming 3.55's? If so 1st in 4 hi is a little faster.

Those are non-ic injectors?

I have tried 3rd in 4lo with 3.55's, it doesn't work so well.

With a single disc ceramic clutch it just would not hold.

With a Southbend DD, clutch holds but it won't pull it.

For comparison, this is the same day, just in 1st 4hi:

This was with no AFC foot.
