I'm On My Way!!!

OK pal, we're bringing the smokey white standard cab Dodge (Adam) along with our new heavy weight pulling champ Chris for some filthy funnn! Some of the boys are helping me with a set of wheels so I might take a shot at the sled in my 2x truck.



I guarantee a new champ, mark my words!!!



Bryan will be coming down with his super Stroker manuel CC cab truck. And this year MADDOG is going to make it or never show his K9 mug again He's got an auto transmission which should be pretty sweet in the pulls.



We've got a score to settle Take no PRISONERS!!! Arrr Arrr ARrrr!!!

 

[lizzyhermit]

where is Tulare

okay, I live in the desert. My brain is fried, I'm a zonnie.

But, where the heck is Tulare, CA ? Is it green? is there moisture? I can't even remember the last time the temperature was in 2 digits.



I gotta get outta here. October is planable.

Tulare Is Nature's Bread Basket

Liz, Tulare is north of Bakersfield in the southern part of the San Joaquin valley. Get the map out and follow Hwy. 99 south from Fresno and you'll see it halfway to Bakersfield.



You'll be surprised to find that this event is held at the "Ag Center". "Staff Of Life" mean anything to you. It's actually held at the dairy pavilion. That's right, animals can survive this environment so you can too. Maybe you can follow Kwikurt up from Phenix, he was there last year.

Drives mopar... .....

Piece of cake getting to Tulare.

If above Sacramento on the 5 coming south look for the 99

south. Were approx. 3 1/2 to 4 hours south of Sacramento

as HVAC stated to another interested party, were in the

southern part of the San Joaquin Valley about 45 minutes south of

Fresno off the 99 Frwy. in Tulare use the Paige Ave. exit if you

miss that one use the Ave. 200 exit, either way you need to

go over the frwy (east) and follow the signs

to the International Agri-Center. Can't miss it.

Thanks for the reply... hope you can make it.

Tulare Dieselfest "01

Response to Drives Mopars

------------------------------

This facility is similiar to a football stadium in that it is surrouned by 200 acres of parking. It takes a bit of driving to get back to the dairy pavilion area once you've left the street.



Piersy baited me into a bit of horsepower flexing on the way in last year for which we were mildly chastized



RV parking is free, there are no hook ups, the RV'ers parked as a group in a circle and this became our center of BOMBing operations. There are full service RV parks in the area if you prefer.



Last year we had a terrific time and I would say that this two day adventure is more fun then some due to the lack of fees and wide open nature of the event.



Let's get it on!!!

 

[Piers]

Me bait anyone into a race How could you say such a thing.

Sides this year I only have a little ole 94 175hp 5spd truck I'm sure even a Duramax could beat me

 

[Briar Hopper]

175HP? Yeah, right ! Like 'ol Piers could leave it alone... sorta like a fox in the henhouse, eh? You better have that thang tweaked by the time Eric and I get there, I want a ride !
