If you've never pulled before I wouldn't suggest it. Things happen a lot faster than you think and it's a lot easier to break by boost launching.

The diesel classes are always 8k lbs., this is a lot heavier than the gas classes. Add the big torque difference and you can see how it is easier to bust stuff.

What is the track like? We have some of the stickiest clay you can find. If it's loose dirt lay it in the floor and let it eat.

If it's that loose you need to walk it out a ways to get the ground speed up before it breaks the tires loose. Use some type of MTR tire.

Yes! Most bigger events have a tire limit.
