whenever you know somebody may have thought of it before me.
i think its a good possibilty that it could be done

[madhatter]

We decided that Duals will be acceptable with restrictions.

''Dually tires acceptable (up to 5.5'' and a maximum of 3'' wide total)''

[madhatter]

Tow point rule added.
This is a good rule of thumb anyways, but the rear center mount will be used in the pulls and tug O war. That being said the center rear mount can be removable, but I would suggest making it strong.

As long as it meets the ''rules'' Then have at it.

Can you run tire chains in any of the events or add them between events?
