Today was the first time I've ever done the car deadlift with an actual car. It was much tougher than I expected. The first time I tried it I couldn't budge it. The guys helped me fix my technique then I got 2 reps. Did another set and got 1 more. Hopefully I can get 3 or 4 at the competition now that I've got my form down.

Sounds like rack deads for me. The first rep is a wash until I get things straight. Nice session.

Thanks. They don't really even feel like a deadlift - it's a totally different technique. One of my training partners described it as a hack squat from hell lol.

Heads up, not to knock bix but his equipment is brutal (in a bad way) and his competitions are a bit motely but anything is better than nothing.

Really? I've never met him, I just found his contact info of the NAS website. If you're close to another state you could maybe contact their state chair.
