It kinda takes a little more than that.........
for one, the "kart" or "SLED" is actually a pretty complicated rig, involving pullys and movable tray's and all kinda stuff that actually moves the weights from over the axles of the sled, to the flat part with no wheels on the front of the sled....

One thing you HAVE to do to your rig, is go to a set of aluminum clutch shoes....
here was my sled pulling rig with a complete list of hopups.
This rig was run in a big block Monster truck category..
