Broken Bow truck pull

Hey just a reminder for everyone that Broken Bow is having a truck pull on Mar 28 starting at 1PM. 4wd diesels an gassers will going at it in the indoor arena they have. Should be a good time. From what Ive read an heard there should be a great turn out off trucks. I know several off the Nebraska Power Pullers will be there. I am going to try an be there. Really looking forward to it.

Thanks for the info Joel. Speaking of truck pullers, where are our resident pullers hiding? I figure those guys would be out of hibernation by now.

Busy working on there trucks

Probably working real hard on there trucks. Its surprising how many hours an hours these guys put in to there trucks. We just see about 30 secs down the track. A labor off love. They go a great job. Really hope to see a lot off members from the site there. It will be a great pull. I attended last Octobers pull. The weather didnt cooperate that day. Was outside moved it inside.

The Wood should be at the pull. Still alot of small things to get done, but after this weekend most of them should be done. We figured it would be a good pull to try a few things out on it before the season kicks off on June 6th in Howells. RedNeckCowboy is going to ride up with me. Should make for an interesting trip home F150, I assume you still plan on heading up?? The two Duramax's from our area plan on going. Dave Wenske, with the Big Red Express, was planning on going so there will be some familiar places. Hoping some of the trucks from the NE Tractor Pullers show up. Should be a good time. Hopefully, the weather is like the last few weekends. Even though we'll be pulling inside, the pits are still outside. If any of you make it up, stop over and say hi!!

Yup Im still planning on being there for sure. I really hope the weather is like today that would be great. I think people are really ready for a nice truck pull after a long winter. Hope the track is in good condition like it was back in October. Hope to see you there Chris an Jamey.

Yeah, I've been in hibernation in the shop, the only time I'm on the interent is to look through Summit and Jegs amoung a few sites. Does take a lotta time to get these things together, especially startin from nothin and building up. I hope it's decent so we can make it out to Broken Bow, looking forward to watching some other trucks pull to keep my ambition going for gettin mine together.

Just to let everybody know made it to the Broken Bow truck pull today. All in all it was pretty good day for a truck pull. A little cool but a nice north breeze which was good. It kept the smoke an dust down inside the building. Got to see Jamey (The Freak) pull an as usual his truck pulled real well. Chris (Redneck cowboy) was there helping an he updated me on the progress off his pull truck. Hope to see it this summer. A really good turnout off trucks an spectators made for a great day. I really enjoyed it. If any off you get a chance to watch the power pullers this summer pull. Do it. They have great truck an great people pulling them. Check the website out Nenraska power pullers .com for the latest schedule.

Yeah, the pull was pretty good. We couldn't have asked for a better day. There was a pretty good turnout of trucks, and there was actually quite a few spectators!! The truck ran good, and we came away without any breakage. We were in the Bruno bar by 8:45 p.m. so it was a good day.

Here's a link to my first hook of the day. Not really up to The Wood's standards, but we came back in the heavy class and laid down a pretty good hook.....just ask F150, oh wait, he missed my 2nd pass. He was out talking to the other pullers/meeting new people shocking......LOL!! Nice to see ya again!!

It did get right back into it after droppin way down in rpms, that sled is weird, hard off the line, easy in the middle and 2 stages at the end.

Anybody here know how to load video on you-tube? If so I think The Freak could get us some better footage eventually, then once we learn we can put em up as we pull through the season.
