Default Who all sleds pulls??

Just wondering who all sled pulls on this site. I am going to start this summer doing it every week. Was looking for some pictures of ideas to do my hitch and sled stops. Anyone have any pics? and maybe any tips on sled pulls in general?

i did it once last year, will prob do it every year, every week seems like a bit much, it didnt seem to take much out of the truck, but things are bound to break doing stuff like that. we just started doing it recently and only run a amatuer class and all the trucks need to be street registered to enter. that bumper will def help.

if you have an auto, its pretty much just go, you have to make sure you get good traction off the line, then get it moving as fast as possible, in my vid, i just kind of walked it down i had no idea what i was doing lol but i still did better than a lot of people. air you tires down a little for better grip, and if you start hopping get out of the gas asap

Been pulling for the last 3 years. I'm never first but I'm never last either. Next year is going to be a learning experience for me. Been pulling with the auto and just swapped in a 5 speed. Only thing I do is load up some weight in my tool box. I don't do anything else special.
