Ok for those of you interested in pulling and want to pull your truck.
First of all you don't have to tear your truck up to do so. Just hook up and put the T-Case in low side and go easy, it's just for fun. Not to mention the more number of trucks that make a hook the better chances we will have at bringing the interest up in this area (Midwest) for diesel truck pulling (we need all the help we can get, in order for more promoters to let us pull and or add and official class in some of these associations). So just come hook and have fun, you don't have to be the biggest truck in 500 miles, just come and have some fun.
Second, these are the official things that are happening. If you want to hook in Shelby, MO you MUST be there before 1:30 PM this Sat. the 25th in order to sign up. We have made the diesel truck class the 3rd class to pull, and it is a one hook situation. (I will post directions at the bottome of this post).
After we pull we have quite a bit of time before we have to be in Harrisonville to make our second hook (God willing my truck holds up... LOL) and we figure we will hook somewhere between 10P an 12A that evening. And ofcoarse come bright and early Sun. am we have the Dyno Day, provided non of us hurt our trucks the previous day.
So I encourage all interested to come and pull, or if nothing else come on out and support everyone that is pulling. I know that atleast some of the Show-Me-Smokers will be attending and pulling in both, so if nothing else come watch a good show.
Now for directions. No matter where your coming from this is the most general way I can get you to Shelby Mo.
Go to Brookfield, Mo on Highway 36. From there you need to find Highway ' M ' and go North for approx. 11 miles. At that point the road will come to a ' T ' and you will be at Highway ' C ', you need to go East for approx. 2 miles. There you will find Highway ' V ' and you need to go north follow that for 1 mile and it will be on your left (west).
*Side note: When you are on Highway ' C ' you will see a sign for ' V ' Southbound approx. 1 1/2 miles in. You need to ignore that and continue to ' V ' Northbound.
From Shelby to Harrisonville (Garden City technically): This trip is approx. 3 1/2 hours and 177 miles (but what the heck that's why we drive diesels isn't it... LOL)
You will need to reverse your directions above and head back to Brookfield and from there get on Highway 36 West to I-35 Southbound. Follow to I-435 Southbound/Eastbound (towards St. Louis) to Highway 71 towards Grandview and go Southbound yet again. Follow to Highway 7 (just south of Harrisonville) and go South once more towards Clinton, Mo. and you will come to Garden City in approx. 10 min (give or take a few min). As far as where the pull is exactly I will have to defer to either Floor It or one of the Show-Me guys.
So come on out and have fun, if you can't make both try to make one of them. See ya at the pulls.
