sled pulling advice!?!?!?!
okay so we have this local event in my home town every year, and we always have a tractor pull. this year the folks that put on the tractor pull also want to have a 4x4 pickup pull as well. they came to me for advice on what kind of classes to have. its just us local guys w/ ranched out gassers and diesels. so how would a guy go about classing an event like this??? i want to be fair as possible. i will be bringing my mudtruck, and my powerstroke as well most of my friends, but there will also be people who just enter w/ their ol beater ranch rigs. does a guy go by weight? i think the diesels need to be broke up into a few different weights, but i dont think there will be enough rigs there to make it worth it. any help please would be great... thanks
P.S. whats the best way to pull my rig with the mods i have??? 120 on the DP and a 4 wheel drive launch?????

Low range and let the auto shift it's self. Don't let it go to drive! The gear is too big and you will bog and down shift.

Ease out and keep rolling into the throttle. If you come out too hard it could cause it to bounce.
