Truck Pulling Series

   This is something totally new. We are starting with just two classes, Stock and Drop Arm. A third class, unlimited, may be added at a later date depending on customer response. This has been a great deal of fun during our testing. These rules are preliminary and may be revised over the next few weeks as customers offer suggestions.

Paradise Road will not be building any trucks for these classes. Our services will be limited to painting bodies and soldering pull hitches only. This class does require you provide your own controller. Paradise Road will not rent or provide controllers for this.

The hitch must be constructed in such a way as to not put weight on, take weight off or bind the sled's tow arm or skid plate in any way during the pull. Pulling hitches may be square, round or "V" shaped per preference.
