Dallas/Fort Worth Dyno Challenge

[crawler]

Right now were planning this as a 1 day event. But, you never know.



Also there are other possible dates, maybe with a little notice you could arrange a different day off.

Oct. 25-26 work out good for me. The cooler the weather the better.

Oct. 25-26 sounds good to me, or even the 4th-5th. I need to rebuild a motor, maybe even two motors before then, and work in between, so, the longer the better for me.



If we can a few more people to chime in, that would be great, thanks for the support so far. I need to talk to a few friends, and see what I can wiggle out of 'em for the event.

When a date is set, we need to spread the word to a few other sites. The last one I attended was orginized by the North Texas Powerstroke Assn. and they had a nice turnout. I would love to see another big turnout.

Since most of the majority is leaning toward Oct 25,i don't see a problem with it.

 

[Jim Fulmer]

Anytime after OCT 15th as before that I will be in the NW and at the LSTDR Rally again, it would be nice to bring some new tricks to the event but I'm not going to bet one it... . probably just be the old stuff.

Dates

Sorry for the late reply, I've been working some weird hours.

We decided on Saturday Oct. 25 pending verification from the dyno facilities. I'll talk to the owner and the shop manager today and get everything verified. Now lets get this thing hyped up. Right now we've got some pretty impressive trucks lined up. Lets keep 'em coming.

Oct. 25

October 25th is the official date. We also hope to go to the drag strip Saturday night. If we don't have enough interest for the drag stip then we'll go to an old school hamburger drive-in for their weekly cruise night.







Thanks,

Wes

 

[MCummings]

Nice. Looks like I need to get on the ball with promotional stuffs.



Is there anything yall want for the dyno? I've got some Kick-gas ideas I know yall will like, but I could use some ideas,, maybe stickers for an xxx amount of dyno certified HP?



Let me know of any ideas.



Thanks,

I talked to Wes today. We have some cool stuff for yall if we can really rally up some guys.



If we don't get enough people for the dragstrip, the drive-in is about 45 minutes away, and we could caravan over there. The drive-in, is THE local hang out, lots of activity,, If you have ever been to Muncie,, it's kinda like that, but not too much Diesel (or will it be? )





Idea's for lowest HP awards?

Worst looking "beater" award?

Best looking truck?

Most intimidating?

Best "Sleeper"?

Chris Harlan,

I know you have some idea's up in your head. Get crazy with us. Any type of competitions you want to see? Fastest injector swap? Fastest Plate Removal?



Horace,

Nicest set of twins competition? Most unique air filter/exhaust?



Where's Mark Kendrick?

Most parts broken? Craziest driver?





Let us know guys! I know this event is a little ways off, but, it's gonna sneak up on us real fast! Wes has been catching other drivers on the road, and pulling 'em over to tell them about thise event! So, I know there will be non-TDR members in attendance, we know this event can be big, yall can push this thing over the top!

Anybody want to BBQ? Fajita's?...





We'd really appreciate any words given!



If you have any questions or idea's, you can also e-mail me at, -- email address removed --

Thanks

Thanks Merrick and everyone else who has shown support.



We've got some real neat ideas and some "interesting" stuff planned.



If you guys decide to come in on Friday I will check on motels and will arrange a few races with some of the local boys (mostly gassers) on Friday night.





Also any ideas are welcome. We want the biggest crowd we can arrange. If this year turns out as well as it looks then next year will be an absolute blast.





Thanks Again,

Wes

[C. Harlan]

I am there... Oh hell yeah!

definitely count me in! if all my parts are working, you will see my arse there! As long as we can find a spot at the end of the night to sit down and down some cold beers! Just a thought! Merrick. . we should caravan up there from San Antonio, and pick up all the other people along I-35... OTHER PEOPLE ALONG THE I-35 CORRIDOR: ARE Y'ALL GAME???? Dont be scared!



-Chris-

 

[C. Harlan]

If we are going to be around with lots of strangers,

lets make this a show and shine thing too!! you know I am always into that, weather permitting! An idea to ponder. .



Also, what about the Ford Guys?? I think we should invite them as well!!!



-Chris-

 

[crawler]

Already invited some of the Ford guys. But hadn't got it posted on many of their sites yet.

 

[C. Harlan]

no prob... I will post it on the diesel stop



-Chris-

 

[lkuykendall]

I second the idea of a show and shine event since I obviously can't touch most of you in power

Show & Shine (Never)

Just kidding about the never.



We were actually already thinking about a show and shine.



Get in touch with me and we'll go over everything.







Thanks,

Well this should be a grand oold time now. I'll try to get my b!tch Horace up there, and see what he can do with that new twin setup.



Merrick, you pulling a trailor up or what?





Andrew

 

[MCummings]

I don't think I can get a short block found, delivered, and installed in time.



I'm about to pop in the ATS Trans tonight. I got the DTT Billet shaft in it. Turned out, I actually stripped the hub out, and didn't snap the shaft.



No Trailer, just the 4by.
