My son and I have been trucking for many years. Love a truck pull. The first truck he rode around in was my 85 FL cab over. We both like the older stuff.

To the guy asking about the sled. They normally have wheels at the back. As the weight moves forward it loads the skid and unloads the wheels so it's harder to drag. The little wheels at the front lift the sled at the end so it's easier to pull back. Some sleds can actually drive themselves back to the start too. Hope that helps some.

@sony8331 The sparks are from clutch material untill it hooks up.

old Pete's don't die they just go sled pulling and they're awesome

i'm listening to this with my headphones, as far as that first truck, when it revved up, all I can say is DAYUM!!!!!!!!

I go to this every year I love it I only live 10 miles from here

Why are their sparks under the truck at 1:20?

@hcr403 yea usa east put's one on in mercer i think towards the end of pulling season i think can't say for sure

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call a full pull.

I loooved that last one! That was one sweet tractor!

1:20 them sparks is the clutch???

But why would there be sparks flying out? Isn't it a closed housing?

just curious....... how many pounds does the sled weigh????

And tell me what this razvlekuha in Pindos?

@tractors1975 Hey that is common on air ride trucks they run a per set psi of air in the fron bags and it helps to put the weignt back on bolth rears to help put the power to the ground

u gotta love the loping of them detroit deisel cabovers!

Wondering if a Vovlo FH750 would be enough?

First truck see those sparks under it. Damn and those turbos

That old blue Freightliner FLD looked to be the most stock of the whole group. I wonder why they let him have the hitch ring so high. Being that high, it would lift the front of the sled reducing the drag and adding weight to the drivers.

Pollution standards for Diesels in the United States are more strict than they are in Europe. In fact, they are the most strict in the world. This is just playtime. Roll the coal!

That's right. If we were worried about pollution, we wouldn't do business with China. The west side of all of our mountains are worse off than the east. Stuff gets up in the jet stream and then it settles.

This is true only on the public road systems not on drag tracks everything goes no regulation on private property

All those sparks around 1:20 Metallic clutch disc?

At about 1:13, looks like he made some adjustment in the suspension to get better grip. Didn't know they done this. Impressive power there :)

What engine does the truck @ 11:16 have?

Love the guy in the black hat with a cig perched just so in his mouth - and a beer in the left hand. Look for him!!! Classic. But this is cool stuff.

@CodyEslinger202 Sounds like an 8v92 Detroit. Those old two strokes make me feel all warm and fuzzy.

@kenworth2011 are you going to mercer for opening day

Yes Indeed! Detroit Diesel Peterbilt! Any more footage or channel with Red & Black Peterbilt?

Wonder the hp and torque of the rig wow

Who won?

Got to feel a bit sorry for the guy who couldn't keep his front wheels on the ground enough to stay on the course. It feels like he really had the best truck in show.

Brointman I agree. That detroit was screamin

This is one bad ass truck!

@kenworth2011 its was the front suspension. they made it tubular. and it had to much move. and they went back to the old setup this year. kinda sad killer didnt pull much this year.

@TheWeirdFish I definitely wouldn't say that these engines are improperly tuned, but more so that these engines are tuned in a manner other than for casual driving. These trucks are set for one purpose only...to put down as much torque as possible while pulling the sled down the track. By tuning in such a way, the thick black smoke is inevitable.

is that paul sr.

i was asking because i dont know lol its what makes sense to me that as the clutch is released with that much power it sparks like crazy

OMFG! They are such beauties!

anybody see sparks from the first truck ?

Cab overs are the wicked of their time. Worked on alot of them. Could never get over the goofy, weird steering arrangement....

I love watching diesel pulls

Thank you very much!

I could be wrong but the sparks could be an igniter for the fuel hes dumping through his exhaust to make the flames come out.

clutch engaging. You'll see it quite a bit in some classes, like the Super Stock Diesel tractors.

Viva los camioneros somos gente espectacular el mundo del camión es pura adrenalina y un mundo precioso lleno de joyas por todo los sitios del mundo

this is cool i love the semi truck drivers have fun

ummm im pretty sure if your car is running good it should produce CO2 also... unless you have emmisions reduction reusing exhaust, but really, doesnt the EGR system in deisels do the same thing to produce CO?

I like trees that are logged and hauled with rigs like these :D

most likely done with air ride the biggest reason is to control how far the front end lifts

I hope I can make it there this weekend!!

That was cool

awesome video I mean killer

@CodyEslinger202 I think it sounded like a Detroit

1:20 DID ANYONE SEE THE SPARKS?!?!?!

it was the clutch slipping

the sled hitch 'floats' no load is added to the truck

And a hood is the folding canvas roof of a car, and a trunk is a separate luggage compartment slung on the back of a vehicle, not part of the body. The words come from the corresponding parts of horse carts, which came before. The proper words (most of which are older than the USA itself) are those that we in Britain use. A bonnet is the forward bodywork, boot is the world for a luggage compartment that is a part of the bodywork. I use correct English, anything else is wrong, usually American.

the truck i thought would have been good for year this was bad dog. but it didnt pull this year. looks like francis has to muck to work (i would in heaven if i worked there). last year i went to the buck (lancaster, pa), and this i year i went to morley, mi. i plan to make to about 8 events next year. are you from the ohio area.

Good point. A diesel running correctly, however, still doesn't spew smoke all over the shop.

That second truck, the blue one, has some power for a stock appearing sem!

What is this a class between street legal and modified super semi class? Wannabe modified semi class?

@ 6:00 the truck is a detroit diesil with dool turbos

yeah the clutch

thanks for the video wish i was there ,........

@kenworth2011 i would like to a usa east event this year.

Nope, the sparks are from the clutch. The flames are from the high compression that they run in these engines.

i think the second guy just brought his work truck to see what it could do

@hcr403 sure i try not to miss that pull lol

@ 6:14 the cabover looks like a realy angry dog chasing a cat and taking the house with it.

wrong end of the track, Jack! Next time film at the other end....

That is interesting. What does 'ffs' mean? I thought I knew what it meant, but the meaning that I had associated with that acronym makes no sense in the context of your comment.

a lot of the truck puls ive been to they burn white alchol

did anyone notice the sparks come out the bottom of the first truck

yes diesel does produce carbon dioxide, but also Sulfer dioxide and nitric oxide, when mixed with upper atmosphere moisture can produce acid rain, deisels still produce carbon monioxide, in lower amounts,

this is phillip thing. bless his heart💗

@KPearce57 i did not know that

@kenworth2011 thats kinda suck, maybe there still pissed about that suspension. i would love to see them get 30 plus trucks. for a serious day of pulls.

OMFG if they made a candle that smelled like deisel fumes i would buy all of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the smell of deisel fumes.

When an electric/fuel cell vehicle has similar torque numbers, please let us know. : )

4:13 - Buddy: ah yeaaah wet overals yeaaah

Omg, look at the underside of his truck. Looks like hes burning up the clutch real bad. 1:20

power.

...How did I get here?

Wow that last truck was rolling the coals

fair enough

i bet that blue frieghtliner wasn't modifiied

they filter out the exhaust gasses and get all the toxics out of there, i am not talking about the truck, i am talking about the raw engine, a diesel produces less carbon di than a gasser. im not talking about the cat converter.

I would want to do that too I think it is cool

nothing like gettin the whole crowd to yell at you
