First ever truck pull
This is a video of my first ever truck pull with my 76 highboy with a mildly built 390, well mild enough that i cant keep from shearing stock u joints lol. Anyway, i finished 5th out of 13, looking to improve with a little more experience. Enjoy.

I can imagine it takes some getting used too. If you can avoid some of that hopping you'll do a little better. I know my uncle has a little different setup but they usually try to get it rolling just a little before really getting with it. You really got in it quick which will make them bounce too.

Yea I think you'll get the hang of bringing it out of the hole. Your first pull was better than a lot of them I seen. Half the people can't ever back into the sled.
As for my uncles puller...yea its very competive. He's one of the few that runs a hemi ford. Most people don't even think they exist they only know chryslers. That truck has seen many but little changes and has been a winnin setup for probably close to 30 years now.

I saw that you were pulling with USA East. Where was the pull?
Just a warning, it is very addicting. Been pulling for 2 years now. Never gets old.
PA74F250 - I saw your uncle's truck at the Keystone Nationals this year in Harrisburg. Very nice truck and a good runner too!

Not sure if you were talking to him or me but i was pulling at the Clearfield fair grounds, Clearfield County, PA, wasen't pulling the same weight as the points guys obviously, just a local class held at the same time as the points pull.
