30 is fine with the weight, just make sure there isnt any rocks or stobbs you could run through a tire.

well it happened and it was a stand still with the duramax. So I didnt lose which is a plus. The dmax did get slowly pulled back by a Dodge 2500 Hemi CC LB in a good battle. The Hemi has alot of work done, the guy pulls sleds with it and has a huge room full of trophies. Ive been to many sled pulls with him and he beats alot of the diesels in the unlimited exibition class exhibition classes. So it was my turn to hook the Hemi and I was pretty nervous. To my pleasant surprise, my PSD yanked back the Dodge with no hesitation. He wanted a rematch and it resulted in the same thing. Im feeling pretty good about my truck now. I know it was a gasser but this is a mean truck with a mean setup.

Well good deal! Have no remorse for beating gassers.

no the kid that was gunna bring the video camera never showed??? I saw him yesterday and gave him a hard time for it. sorry. he was too busy with his girlfriend? I thought priorities were 1 = trucks, 2 = girls ??? O and I expected around 10-12 people to come and pull and watch, well word spreads I guess... more than 40 people showed up at my house. That was a lot of cleaning up before the parents got home (they were in NC im in OH)

right when they were givin the "go" they buth got on it hard. I think it came down to the Hemi having better rubber and an 8" rise hitch. he didnt yank the D-max, just slowly crawled about 10-15 forward with it. I dont think dirt was a factor cause me and my buddies spent about 2 hours on the track and it was all consistant and fair.
