8) Ifin you drive more than 6 hours to a show this big, why would you drink so much that you miss the 2 day, Tim?

O. K the case of Mike's hard was not an "accident" However the Coronas were.



Things Gene learned.



When told to meet by the tree ... . jam some fake branches in the thingy with the pretty lights that flash in a downward fashon. . . So the tree can be found :-laf



A few more things I learned. . .



Eating Cottage Cheese can help make the white castle sliders stop tearin' the arse out of you :-laf



Coffe Cups have condoms that protect the flangees.



NEVER let red hot climb a grade before you ..... with the windows down



NEVER look at the mattress at the amerihost ... ..... EVER



Do not touch dry ice



NEVER ask Cooter Bob to pull something out near a pond



"Blinky Lights" can be entertaining



The phrase "Buttered Up" is disturbing



The Metropolis mall has no roof



GoJo can and will explode when least expected



VodkaCranberry can also be "Accidently" consumed . . several times over



Andy Sebek will let you try and kill yourself on a 110 ... . HAMMERED



Spiders @ IRP are Chrome



Twin turbo garden tractors will run hot . . . eventually



enough beef jerky will ruin your truck seat ... same with white castle



Truckers get upset when you tell them "Caterpillars are cute and fuzzy"



Don't EVER loose your coffee cup condom @ 83 MPH



Make sure you ask the local raingutter contracter how he likes his freightliner (Read Sprinter) van ... ... . you will be SO glad you did



It's fun to go out looking for the famous Friday nite burnout road With Moose and HsHs only to see MTY get questioned by the police with the arse end of his rig in a cornfield :-laf

Now come on, Tim, you KNOW you wanted to take that bike for a ride...



I can tell you one thing I learned:



A girl drinking Jack Daniels should not lean her head out the window of her boyfriends BLACK third Gen Dodge, while puking... Makes a nasty mark on the paint... :-laf

 

[2broke2smoke]

1) a cummins fits nicely into a willys ... whooda thunk it?



2) a cummins water pump is EASY to replace ... and really easy if you have a vin# and Partsman nearby



3) and beer is no cure for the stomach flu ... Right Partsman?



4) one really big "sticker" can cover up an entire paint job ... what color was graphic mans truck anyway?



5) now i know what it feels like to clean someone elses soot off my own windshield

 

[woodsrat]

The ferd dealer stocks water pumps for the cummins. The cummins dealer has none instock


Have to love the 24/7 napa I need one of them in my town.

 

[Partyat33]

Looks like more fun was had away from the event than at the event. The burnouts were awesome, even the Dakota with the Hemi made a good show.

 

[480RUGER]

Had a great time everyone. It was my first Diesel event and definitely not the last. I never saw so many CTDs in one place. See you next year.



BTW, who had the portable WATER BOX? It made for some good vids for the boys back home.

 

[ToolManTimTaylor]

Now come on, Tim, you KNOW you wanted to take that bike for a ride...



I can tell you one thing I learned:

Yeah but my preprogrammed "NO!" light was blinking in my left eye. The problem is is that sometimes it won't blink ... ... . hence the I'd better not response :-laf One day when it is out of the court system I can talk about it :-laf :-laf :-laf



Somehow Gene was visited by the Miller Lite fairy . . as was I Didn't matter tho they were cold



Tweaker ... . The red AFB cape is in the design stage. :-laf We still need a sidekick BUB (Buttered up Boy) and somehow Amianthus is in the running with his portfollio shot you took. :-laf

 

[SpicyJam]

For those of us that stopped at the Pilot Travel Center to fuel up. You need to call this number... ... 1-800-562-6210 and wait to be promoted to customer service.

From what I have found out so far we are in the right... . we were over charged, except Aron.

The fuel should have been 2. 89 for all of us that paid cash not 3. 053 and 3. 079 as some of you did.

Waiting for one more call back it only took them 20min to respond to the first one. I am just passing the info along to those that were with me.

 

[I-6DZL]

Things i learned......

For me White Castle burgers aren't sliders, they perfer to leave the permises the same way the entered. That would have been hell to see a nice shiny white dually with 90% beer and 10% white castle all over the side.



For everyone that i met and forgot while i was drunk, thanks for the beer.



I had a great time.



Graphic Man's truck was originally black.



Hope to meet more next year.

That was a cool sticker. It was carbon fiber looking. I talked to him he told me that it took 10 hours to do. -Jason



had a great time, next year I am getting a room over there and I only live 25 min from the track. Jason

 

[CBrabec]

I learned that it is possible for a SRW truck without a driver to win a pull off with a DRW truck!! Saturday night at the pull off a 2500 dodge handshaker hooked to a 3500DRW dodge auto and let the clutch out in 1st and started pulling the dually and then the driver got out of the truck and walked next to it while pulling the dually backwards.



Chris

That was AWESOME! I got a great video of it, and if I can figure out how to post it I will. Too bad the weekend had to end on such a sour note with the rain, but I did get a great price on a BD intercooler due to the rain and the fact that the dealer just didn't want to take it back. I tried for the twins setup, but no luck. Can't wait till next year... .

Had a GREAT time Glad the cops left us alone for most of saturday night. Being first timers, we got to see what IRP is really all about... ... gee I wonder why the parking lot is never full at 8am when things are supposed to start :-laf . Next year we are staying at the hotels with you all and will bring a truck or two. . got enough just driving in... can't imagine what it's like to be there all the time. Also anyone that can win a tug w/o being in the truck is deemed a god

 

[wtfd6]

[FordCummins]
