Hooked to the sled for the first time

I competed in my first truck pull last night. I pulled in the 8500# work/stock 4x4 diesel class. I ended up pulling a total of 236' 10'' and that placed me in second overall. An 08 harley 6.4 beat me with a pull of 264 IIRC right before his rear center section SPUN on the axle tubes pointing his pinion nearly straight up and snapping the driveshaft. Anyhow, nothing too exciting, but I was happy with the results for my first time out considering there were 14 other trucks in my class.

Congrats on a successful debut. I used to love going to the pulls to watch, often thought about getting a truck together for it but have never done it...yet.

I was expecting the place to be flooded with cummins, but there was atleast 4 6.0's and a handful of 7.3''s and 3-4 duramax and about the same cummins.
