Fall Brawl 2005....“Never Let The Enemy Pick The Battle Site.”

[Hammer]

Thats right its time for the games to begin again.....

"Fall Brawl 2005..... “Never Let The Enemy Pick The Battle Site. ”



The Mason-Dixon TDC would like to extend our invitation to all who desire to participate in this great end of the year show. This is our annual 2 day dyno competition which hosts some of the finest examples of diesel powered Trucks from all over the country. We also have a covered dish cookout for those who would like to bring their favorite food along to share with the whole group.



The Dates..... Saturday & Sunday October 15-16-Rain Or Shine

The Place... ... Kauffman Motorsports

901 Range End Road

Dillsburg,PA 17019

(717)502-8880

The Cost... ... . $70 for 3 spins with HP/TQ readings.



Remember stack equipped owners we would like you to drop your flex pipes is possible or allow us to some way vent the soot outside. Also we would like the dually owners to drop their outside tires off which allows us to move trucks in and out more efficently. Tools will be provided by Kauffmans to accomplish this and all we ask is to put them away when finished. The shop is also available for those who have last minute goodies to do or install and all they ask is that you dyno sometime that weekend. We did a great job at the spring show with the extra work and it showed when we were done,which we recieved many thanks for our proffessionalism.



As the time goes on from now out Doug and I will be dropping in with which vendors step in and join us. We are looking for a few diesel oriented shops who desire to be vendors for the weekends activities. I will list the competition classes as soon as Doug and I go over them. You will notice that we have moved this one weekend later so we didn't go head to head with the EEP Charity Pull in Ohio on the 7th. This will accomodate those who would have liked to go to both and couldn't last year,plus allow the charities a better chance to benefit from move.



Lets hear from you out there with food and if your going to join us. This show draws over 150 trucks for the weekends activities and there is always something there for everyone... ... ... ... . Andy

[tURBOdIEZEl]

doug, what happened???

 

[DLeonhard]

Chris,

I blew a turbo boot and overheated my truck... . 3 bents valves, warped head, ruined all the other valves (from overheating they became deformed), ruined valve guides. Need all new valves, valves guides, milled head, redo the O-ringing - all kinds of good stuff. And - I just had the o-ringing and a valve job done less than 2 months ago!



Doug

 

[tURBOdIEZEl]

that stinks..... is the truck going to be together anytime soon?

 

[Will24]

[Jetpilot]

Will,



If you want to come by the house we can play with your truck and see what we can find... .



Doug

 

[Will24]

Doug, I might just take you up on that, I am at least going to check fuel pressure again at work this week, other than that, I am kind of at a loss.

jack your timing will... ... .

 

[DLeonhard]

Chris,

Hopefully my truck will be back together by the end of this week. I am having withdrawals. I took my daughter on vacation last week (to VA Beach) and on the way down a big rig with loud exhaust passed us (in the Chevy Cavalier that I borrowed from a friend), and I turned the radio off, opened the window and followed him for the next 80 miles - just listening to the sound of the diesel! My daughter asked me what I was doing when I turned the radio off - and I told her that I missed my truck! She laughed.

that belongs in the "you might be a diesel head if... " thread. LOL i know the feeling..... im still trying to convince kristy she needs a dodge so it better be around at fall brawl. LOL

 

[TheWolf]

would have liked to show up, but now that weekend will not work for me... . brother is getting hitched!

 

[Will24]

I tow with the truck entirely too much to be running 23 degrees timing, plus the truck's gotta be able to start when it's 0 degrees out and the trucks unplugged, 16 degrees makes it labor enough at cold startup. There will be a little more timing in my trucks future, but not a ton, I don't want to give up a whole lot more bottom end.

jack your timing will... ... .

 

[TReed]

Will our trucks are setup fairly the same, I may be running alittle more fuel but close except my timing is higher. We'll see in october how my truck dyno's with timing where it is, and how much difference it makes in HP. I know the Lil 55 has more in it than 430's.



Travis

 

[Will24]

Travis, it should be interesting. I took my valet switch off and put the AFC hose on last night, it feels better, I dunno though. I went through the entire AFC housing, made sure it had full travel etc.

Here are the classes for Fall Brawl 2005!



STOCK- This class is limited as in the years past to the following mods,air intakes and aftermarket exhausts. NOTHING ELSE!. I am going to try and figure a way to make all the years competitive with each other as the newer common rail injection trucks have way more HP than the older rides. Those caught with other unapproved mods in this class will forfeit any chance of winning anything. Please be honest owners,this is a fun show and I'd like to keep it that way.



MODIFIED-This class is limited to a SINGLE turbo with NO PUMP CONVERSIONS(example:A 24 Valve single turbo truck with a P-Pump installed)and on #2 ONLY. The use of over the counter fuel additives is permitted but NO DRUGS(this includes meth injection and water misters). Aftermarket chargers,fueling boxes,injectors and pusher pumps are all legal. Owners who run single chargers and use drugs may compete as long as their bottle has been disconnected or removed,these owners will be asked to show they did this when they enter the dyno room.



COMPETITION-This class will allow any fuel pump combination(example-Pump conversions),any charger(twins included) or supercharger and run on #2 alone. Over the counter fuel additves permitted but NO DRUGS(this includes meth injection and water misters). Any injector,fueling box,aftermarket turbos(twins permitted) and pusher pumps are ok. Owners who have drugs may compete but must disconnect their bottles or tanks and will be asked to show this when they enter the dyno room.



UMLIMITED-Run What Ya Brung... This is the "Don't Bring A Knife To A Gunfight Class".

Any fuel,charger configuration any amount of drugs can be used here. The only rule here is the HOOD MUST close and latch tightly. This is for safety reasons as we have seen the aftermath of a head-gasket explosion with the hood open.
