Fall Brawl 2008-"If a man does his best, what else is there?"

[Joe Mc]

Kelly and I will see you all Sat & Sun, fun fun fun!!!!

 

[6BT-Dakota]

Hey Andy, I am a confirmed yes for the judging Show N' Shine and I even have a special guest judge to help me out that will be coming a long way to get to the Fall Brawl and is well schooled on well built vehicles.

Notes.....



I have received word that the NADM group will be on hand with a stand set up and have Sleddy in our presence. it will be nice to have them with us for the first time. Gene has been to our shows in the past and we will welcome him back.



I also will make sure to post the other Torque Challenge invitees by tomorrow evening. Trophies and plaques have been ordered and will be ready shortly. I have kinda left the internet alone recently due to my needing to tend to personal matters. Sorry for the delay gang.



On a personal note...

The recent time off for me was due to having my closest friend recently pass away at the young age of 47 due to heart failure. Its has taken alot of spring out of my step and I needed some time to try and get my head on straight. We grew up together and were like brothers and he was instrumental along time ago getting me into my driving career. The ensuing mess that has arisen since I never expected and reminded me of how stupid act after a loss like this. Those who called and offered help I really do appreciate.



Thanks gang... ... ... . Andy

 

[WDimig]

im sure you all know i will be there, andy ill give you a call ater today, got some questions about those picutes you sent me.



wes

 

[Joe Mc]

Are we there yet? Nope one more week . . . :{

 

[Rams-n-Hogs]

Are we there yet? Nope one more week . . . :{

Less than that, now. So who's bringing what?

 

[Hammer]

Well Its been a rough couple of weeks and I will slip in for some quick updates now... .



I seem to have misplaced my records during packing of the house(one of those not sure which box their in deals,LOL)so here is what I will do for both Ford and Duramax owners with regards to the Torque challenge. The first TWO owners of each make(Ford-Chevy/GMC)who come to me each day will be allowed to compete in the TQ Challenge.



Diane and Jody Tipton who own D-P Tuner are sponsoring this years class trophies and we appreciate their continued support. They will be on hand Friday at SGS for some tuning of their customers rides.



I have just checked with the SGS gang and all is go for the show. IF anyone is camping please use the upper parking area where you will find level ground. I will also ask that those who attend please help with keeping the trash in the proper places and try to not tear up the grassy hill. At past shows we have had some who were deliberate with damage and we would like to not have that happen again.



Weather is looking GOOD for once. Temps in the low 60's are forecast with low humidity. Its should bring us some good air and the chance for very good numbers. So its shine them up,ready the food and about game time,see everyone there!!!!!!... ... ... Andy

 

[Joe Mc]

Andy,



Kelly said he'll bring plenty of frozen chicken . . . LOL



Not sure what we'll bring but it'll be RTE (ready to eat) for sure - I'll see if I can get the wife to make up some of her - Chec family secret - Potato Salad again. Depends on how she's feeling, which has been pretty good lately . . . so I'm not sure if I should press my luck. But, for the good of the "brotherhood" and empty stomachs I'll see if she can swing it.



"Is it time to go yet?"

 

[Junior]

Hey guys is it going to cost anything if we don't do the dyno. EX for food or anything?

 

[6BT-Dakota]

Nope, free of charge. They do ask that you bring something fo rthe food table.

 

[Hammer]

UPDATE!!!!.....



I chatted with Sled Puller tonight and due to a work conflict he will not be able to make it or set up a NADM booth. HOWEVER,what they,NADM,have done instead is give us two packages to give to our competitors and this is how it will be done...



For the weekends festivities NADM will give away 2 memberships,T-shirts and Billet "1000 HP Club" Hitch Receiver plugs to the 2 highest HP members who can lay down 1000HP or more on their respective dyno runs. The runs can done with any combination needed to make the 1000hp. The runs can be made at anytime during the weekends show but must be backed up and not be a single attempt. The 2 winners will have their photos taken and their respective dyno sheets sent to NADM so they can be posted on their website. So Good Luck to those competitors!.



I will be quite honest I was shocked when Gene told me this. In all my years of knowing Gene he has been a "Fuel Only" believer. When I was told what he wanted done I asked,"Fuel Only or are Drugs OK?" to which I got a response that "Fuel Only and/or Drugs were fine,because NADM is about the spirit of competition". I was left speechless and will make sure the snowblowers ready as I never expected to hear that from him,LOL.



So that will add some spice to this weekends show and may prove to be rather interesting to see who has what it takes to accomplish this. So its just a day away and the game is now on,see you there... ... ..... Andy

... I was left speechless and will make sure the snowblowers ready as I never expected to hear that from him,LOL. ...

I doubt you'll need the snowblowers. He's much closer to Hell than you are.



Oh, wait. You are talking about Hell, MI, right?

I will chime in later with more. Tim Barbers all fuel run was a sight to see and very impressive. He blew a boot off and when informed of a needed back-up run he took the truck outside and worked on it then came back and laid down a 1039hp back-up run. he now has our clubs record for fuel only also breaking John_P's run from last year. 150 trucks in the field and 49 on the jet showed we had a GREAT Turnout. Today started slow but has picked up a lot so we will see what happens today... ... ... . Andy

The first thing here is a mistake with a number... .

Sam Trezona... ... . 03 Dodge... ... 384. 92/586. 22

Guess I had double vision when I did that one,sorry for the mistake.



Well I have a chance now to slip in and say some things about this weekends event. I would like to thank the entire SGS Performance crew for the weekend they gave us. Their hard work and dedication again provided us with the base for a show to remember and they always do their best to make us feel at home. Also needing thanks are those vendors who were on hand and with us all weekend long... ...



Denny and Mike from UCF Machine

Delton and the gang from Zimmies Automotive

Cory from PDW Power

Scott from Renegade Diesel Performance

Lloyd Mills from Mid-Atlantic Diesel Performance

Diane and Jody Tipton from D-P Tuner



I would also like to say thank you to the cooks from the weekends activities,Chef Jim,Chef Keith and the two newbie cooks Chef Larry and Chef Wayne(Although I am going to have to say I wished I would have seen this to believe it first,). They kept the hungry masses fed and the dyno crew from revolting on us,.



I am amazed at how big these shows have gotten over the years. That fact alone is in part due of the owners who come out and spend their time with us. The Mason-Dixon TDC appreciates their continued support and looks forward to next years event... ... ... ..... Andy
