I agree! I also find him extremely immature and confrontational.

A sled is a big trailer like that has a flat bottom at the front and wheels at the back. It has weights on top that transfer from the back to front at a given speed. The closer the weights get to the front the harder it is to pull.

You hook your truck to the front of the sled with a BIG chain then when they say go you start pulling. The object is to pull it as far as you can before the weights come up and stop you. This is done on dirt.

Fun to watch when they use to come around this way.

Two of the favorite pulling trucks when I was growing up were Orange Blossom and Midnight Express.

Awesome. I had a model of Orange Blossom when I was a kid. We used to go to watch monster truck and truck pull shows all the time.
