MUD RACE TOMORROW!! NEED ADVICE!!

[08spartan250]

Alright guys, I need some advice. I am going to a mud fest tomorrow and they are going to be having truck races, and the winner gets $500. So I'm really wanting to do good. So any and all advice y'all have is appreciated. I'm currently running the spartan and I turned it down to the 250 tune. Any idea if this would be a good tune to run? And my biggest concern is the start of the race. I dont want to just floor it and sit there and spin the tires, but I dont want to go too easy and get whooped. Should I run it in 4low, or 4high? And should I start in Drive, or should I start out in 2nd or 3rd? Thanks for the help guys!!!

def. need to be in 4 hi if your in a race, 4 lo and you will get blown out of the water!!!
dont know about these trucks but i always started my old jeep (standard) in 2nd because 1st would just spin the hell outta the tires

diesel trucks and mud dont mix. my suggestion is to watch from the grand stands... but hey its not my 40,000+ $ truck gettin tore up.

thanks guys. and the vid didnt help much cause we will be starting out in mud..not in dirt and then going into it. its pretty much like a drag strip in mud..

theirs more traction on the sides of the pit. sawing the front tires and high tire speed to keep the lugs clean is the ticket... but once again diesel trucks weigh to much for mud play so good luck.

haha..thanks for the update. they ran two classes, a "hot" and a "terd" class. for some reason i got thrown in the hot class. my first run i got stuck, the second run i won, and then i lost the third run to the second place finisher. over all it was a fun day. (the guy a beat, was sooooooo mad )
