Does anyone have a suggestion on how to pick your path down the track? Do you try to go over rutted areas for less friction? Do you head for the wet areas if your tires are aggressive, and the dry areas if your tires are almost all worn?

look for the shiney hard pan, rock your head back and forth, looking for rutts !

When hooked, pick a line (watch the best puller so-far) pay attention to the track !
When you feel the backend dropp out your hooked, run it out, let the tractor go where she wants!

I can't always do it but I like to keep my rear tires on the shineyist/hardest looking spots I can see.There was a pull close by a few years back that had a low v looking spot in one side of the track all the way down and I put the sled pan directly over the low spot and strattled it.It worked great with three 1st places and one third that night.There were a few besides me that figured it out that night but I wasn't saying anything about it till the pull was over.The wet spots where no one wants to go occasionally will end up being where the traction is but like I said ocasionally,it worked for me a couple of times but once someone sees it they all follow but its usually a crap shoot.

I would avoid the ruts and if you have warn tires go for the wet areas but if you have tires with lotsa tread left i would go fer the dry spots. At least thats how it seems here in WI. Just my 2 cents.
