Not necessarily. All the power in the world does him no good if you can't get it to the ground. Traction plays a huge role in sled pulling.

Hey Jdecker nobody is guaranteed a victory or a defeat. Dont fear anyone when your pulling. Pull to win. Go out there an do your best. But go do it youll love it its a blast. An the main thing is have fun while your doing it. Fun an friends thats what its all about. I think kris would have to agree.

Well he is pretty well built for it Jeremy, he just seems to pick the sled up at the end of the track and carry it I have seen him do atleast 3 320+ pulls. Its very interesting to watch him pull, even with my 40% tires I think I'll give it a shot Jeremy.

The DHRA pull I went to last Saturday, I saw a lot of duallys there and they actually did pretty well. The truck that won the modified street truck was a dually...I hate to say it too, but it was a darn good looking Dodge. 2006, Black, Mega Cab, with a little lift and dual stacks...it looked good. I even saw a couple of the more modified (not the Pro Mods) trucks that were singles but had bolted duals to it for the pulls. Looked a little funny with no fender over that other tire.
Sled pulling is has many variables. It may sound strange, but you need some wheel speed, which means the tires will be spinning. I think a dually will do ok if it's got the power to turn all 6 tires and have decent wheel speed.

Hook it, I'll pull it.
