Worked for me, just click the link above the box, and chose windows media player to play it. It downloaded and played.

Music was perfect for it too. Thanks for the vid! I haven't been to one of them since I was a teen. Did you win?

Working on it

I was able to see it by clicking on the yellow link above the video window.

What size tires are you running? I have the 9.00's, I was doing some searching and it looks like low in second gear would work. Any thoughts on that? I am thinking about pulling mine at a local pull soon. I will post pics. and vid if I go to pull.

download it - right click save as.. played OK with VLC player. 13MB file.

The first part is pictures. Then there are two videos of the pull.
The rap music throughout the video is louder than the truck noises.

The performance of the truck was very good and it was obvious the spectators liked it.

I would more enjoy a version with only the sweet 'music' of the truck and no rap music or other kinds.

Thank you guys. My brother made the video I didnt have much say in the music i would have perfered just the truck myself, I,m running 11.00R20 Goodyear G177s . I pulled in first gear low range in transfer case. I pulled the farthest in the class i ran in .

Dude, that is not rap music. The song is "The Distance" by the band Cake. An excellent choice for the pull video.

OK, maybe that's a different kind of sled, but I've never seen the skid come off the ground when the truck is dragged to a stop. Is that really a guard around the skid? It almost looks like the sled operator put on the brakes.

Tow I agree... THey hit the brakes and he did have the sled picked up off the groind...
