Tim. .

You should have sen my email and Pm boxes after I posted that basically telling me I was full of it about that deal. . LOL. It certainly was a eye opener and kinda scary to think he drives this thing daily with shift points that only rival the space shuttle in orbit. :--) :--) :--) .



Tommorrow,new day,me thinkum Ium doingum anti-rainum dance... Andy
 
On behalf of all the Ford contingent, and those few of us MAFDCers that came, I just want to thank Andy, and the entire crew of Kauffmans for the good times and hospitality.



You Dodge boys is all right. I personally had a great time, even though the weather was LOUSY!!



Next time, I'm hoping for a MUCH better turnout for the MAFDC.

How did I not meet the Tool Man???:confused: :{



Funnies:



Jetpilots and my trucks, sorta back to side, hoods up, being tinkered on, as we both grumble insults and bad mouth each other,then peek around the hood to see if the other heard or not!! LOL:D :p

Hammer to me, as my truck is strapped down, between runs:



"What are you doing?"



Taking off the wastegate, and plugging the holes(hot as hot can be, wow!).



" Oh MY!! Not going to be happy until you really break something, are you?!!"

I hate wastegates.

Hammer, thanks for putting this all together. It was nice talking to you, although limited, you should find someone else to do that job for you as you looked like you needed a break.



Jetpilot, hope your truck turned out ok, still waiting for the #'s.

I wonder if it was me??? Was it a 4x2, with lower gold paint???
 
I had a great time! Sorry I didn't get around to socializing more, but with trying to get the truck back into running order I was pretty busy.



I want to thank all the guys that helped me get back up and on the rollers. Without the help of Merv (aka Huff N Puff), John (aka Snowman), Piers (lots of phone time) and all the others I couldn't have completed it in time. This just goes to show me what a GREAT group of people we had in attendance!



I am already looking forward to next years event. Hopefully the weather will be better and we will be able to make it to the race track for some additional fun.

Thanks Gene...

Sure did make it home on its own power. However, after that 2. 5 hour drive down the PA turnpike,the soot blowing out the back made the red tailgate and bumper solid black. :D



And besides, I knew if I had any troubles, your trailer would be there. :-laf...



Andy
 
Thanks for a great time...

I too had a great time and have to thank EVERYONE involved for a great time this weekend. Even though the rain and cold air was there on Saturday, we all still had a great time.



I think we should have more "Brawls" here in Pa throughout the year...



It was great to see everyone there too this weekend...



Andy
 
Sled Puller =Monster maker... LOL



The way you whipped that hombre Gene I was wondering if you were trying to outdo the Honda for RPM.



Proram made the best comment about it while he was outside cooking... "I was waiting for parts to come rolling out the dyno romm door"... . :D :D



Andy. .

I apologize if you were mislead on that and will make sure that it is added to the rules for next years so you all can decide on what you want to do. Man my mail box is getting abused today. . LOL.



I have second the not meeting Toolman deal. I figure by the photos he was inside but never introduced himself to me. That white truck I was told was Figgy's truck Gene and man was it smooth looking. I think I would have bopped you for him for the soot deal as that was a sweet ride along with the co-driver of it,phew.



Well trucks all clean and ready to go to work. Let me know Andy when you have a free saturday and I'll come out and we'll finish the job on your Red Rocket Box,all of it :D :D :D . Till later this week as I am off to California,whooooppppiiiieee... ..... Andy

Whenever is good for you Andy. Give me some open Saturdays and we'll go from there. Maybe even bring out your buddy Proram. We can get him to cook some burgers for us. :-laf...



Andy
 
Here's another one, how about that lady that said she'd be, "dumping the kids and coming back out to join us in the hotel lobby?"



What a great time!!! Thanks to Kauffman's and all the folks that worked hard to put this together. Deer dogs are still awesome! Hammer, you did a great job getting everyone on and off the dyno.



As usual, it was a great convoy down and back. It's a blast traveling like this. The truckers had plenty to say about us... a special thanks to the anonymous trucker that sought out our channel to let us know 81 south was to be avoided and to re=route 380 -> 80 -> 81. There are some really decent people out there!



I can't believe some of the numbers I saw this weekend, and I know folks won't believe me when I tell them what I saw... . that seems to be half the fun. Looks like I have some parts to buy. .
