Sad Day for Chevies.....

It was earlier today, we were all getting geared up for the bachelor party. (he lives in the country) So we did burnouts, guys would power break all the way up the street (lil more than a 1/4 mile) Lots of rubber was laid. 5 tires blew out.

Then everyone put on their good tires and started doing pulloffs. Everyone lost to a 99 ford f150 ext cab offroad truck. Total stocker other than a posi (which everyone had)

He beat dodge with a 360(reg cab long bed), pulled away with a 2002 chevy 1500 hd with a 6.0(?) and my chevy, my buddies chevy (same as mine cept a 94) and a guys 91 chevy. I must say a lot of people were dissapointed tonight. So we all drowned our sorrows in our beer. Must say its pretty damn cool seeing the wires in radials sparking up as a guy power brakes it a long ways down the road....

So is a truck being pulled backwards in 4lo with all 4 tires smokin! Then we all went to Hooters. After hooters a local bar and got tanked and watched some....ahem "Entertainment" heh heh heh I'm so tired i nedd to go to bed. Specially since its taken me like 20 munutes to write this lol

Where were they hooking up?

If the Ford 4x4 had a higher bumper than everyone else, that would explain it.

However, depends on the length of the tow strap, and tires too.

Ford torque.

Great. Another "Fordie". As if paco didn't cause enough trouble around here. ;)

Paco, did you introduce pepper32 to the site?

Seriously, welcome aboard pepper!

If the truck being pulled backwards was "smoking all 4"by the F@#$, this proves one thing.

The F@#$ had more traction, not more power, torque, reliability.

The higher hookup point will almost always win, as DiHappy said. The higher hookup point will unload the rear tires of the lower hookup point. At the same time, the lower hookup point will increase the "load" on the higher hookup point.

4-Lo would help keep the truck from spinning.

Yeah I saw some kids at College doing that, The ford with the 302 won against a 90ish Chevy with a 350, The only reason was because the Ford had the rope on the bumper and the chevy had the rope on the rearend! I'd have to agree with the fact that if the 4wd was spinning the tires then the Ford had better tires or better traction though somthing.
