I would love to venture up and try my hand at the rodeos. I know I wouldn't be putting up much of a fight just yet, but experience is always a plus when it comes to anything. To be perfectly honest I don't see or hear about any of the rodeos in advance...no advertising, no word of mouth, not a thing...until the videos show up on youtube. I'm sure if the races were advertised a bit more you would get a few more trucks...my truck for sure. Also I don't even know what all goes on at the rodeos. I mean I have seen bobtail drags, loaded B trains drag, burnouts, and 3 trailer drags...are all these seperate events with payouts? Basically I guess I'm asking for a website or contact info on someone putting them on so I can get info and rules.

Bern 009,
Didn't mean anything negative, you're making a lot of power no question. But when it comes to sled pulling, I think it might be a different story. Like anything, you get better with experience. What kind of HP are some of these daily driver's making?Was Bouchard in St.Joseph?

Thanks for the links bern...it looks like I'm gonna have to learn french though. Maybe the french teacher from my old high school will take pitty on me and translate it...heck I might even pay her way to the race if she would translate there too.

I didn't mean to sound negative either...this was probably caused by the french translation. Sorry! What I am looking for is advice on the engine I want to build...Should I start with a C16 engine with a C18 crank and piston or a complete C18 engine??? And what would be the approximate cost of this???
