The ‘new kids on the block’ in 2010 will be the PRO STREET GASOLINE 4x4 TRUCKS.  This class has evolved in 2010 to become a new a powerful force in the truck pulling sport.  The class will take the place of the former 6200lb. OPEN STREET LICENSED GASOLINE 4x4 TRUCK class.  The class rules for that class have been completely revised for 2010.

    The 454 Chevrolet and the 460 Ford engines along with the 440 Mopar are the dominators in this class that will run at 6500 pounds for the first time in 2010. Diesel trucks have been restricted from this class since 2007 and thus the class is strictly for gasoline 4x4s. Front end weights will be permitted in the class in 2010 for the first time.

    Mike Barr from Port Matilda, Pennsylvania will certainly be the one to beat in 2010 after his dominant presence last season.  Barr’s big block Chevrolet named the “Sled Wrecker” won a total of seven times in ’09.  Barr is hoping to be the first-ever point champion in the PRO STREET GASOLINE division.

    Local owners of the 6500lb. gasoline-powered pick-up trucks are welcome to enter the PRO STREET GASOLINE class when it comes to their town, but they will have to face some very formidable trucks that will be following the entire season of events.  All trucks that are “running for the points” must be members of the USA-EAST sanctioning body in order to collect series’ points.
