Missed one Thank You.

Oops, I left some important thanks out:



Special thanks to Shovelhead (Ed) for helping to cook. And Rams-n-Hogs (Jim) helped transport the cooking equipment. I have to say I felt a little overwhelmed when I saw all the trucks and hungry folks when I drove up. I don't think anyone realized how many were going to come. We quickly set everything up and Ed jumped right in there cooking. Thanks Ed!



There was definitely more than diesel trucks making smoke on Saturday!



Finally, Thanks everyone for coming out; it'll be even better next year.

Well, another one for the books! Lots of cool trucks. As usual, had a great time w/ good folks and food. Chez Wiredawg and Shovelhead did a great job. Viv, too. They say you gain weight on a cruiseship. Well, that's nothing to the weight you gain at these dyno meets. LOL... . Nice "koolaid" cooler rig you got there, Clif. Thanks to Ernie and crew for their hard work. Rumor has it I won one of the gift certificates. (had to leave early)Cool! Thanks Andy and Doug for a great time. Can't wait till next year.



351/780 Who'd of thought.

AWESOME!!

Don't want to sound like an echo chamber, repeating all that has been said about this day, but it was awesome. Thanks to BD for the jacket I got and to all the other sponsors , including TDR, for the extra items that were donated for distribution to the people not running on the dyno. We even had some leftovers for these people. Nobody would have suspected that 66% of the attendees would dyno. Once again my thanks to all that organized, orchastrated , prepared the meal and participated . Hope to see everyone on the 27th in Budds creek.

[massdiesel]

guys thank you

hey to all who attended the fall brawl i would like to personally thank all of you. I drove 500 miles down not knowing what to expect after the last one we went to that was not to great at the cummins dealer last year but when hammer and jetpilot asked if i could come i said sure. well let me tell ya this show rocked and my hats off to everyone who promoted and organized the event it was a great time and the hospitality you guys showed from fri til sun was incredible(even if doug tried to food poison me). so next year massdiesel will be back as a vendor.



Hey kobi missed that damn permission slip could ya fax it to me. Great numbers buddy good to see ya again. Mcbride nothing to say but had some laughs with you. Sebek cant beleive you drove a girls truck. Doug,snowman,patriotwheats,straighsix you all rock.

so thanks to all and hope to see ya all soon

 

[Wheaties]

Great event! You folks put together a great shindig. The Kauffmans did an awesome job keeping the trucks moving on and off the dyno. Andy you did a great job putting it all together. The food was fantastic. And I can't say enough about how nice everyone was, what a super bunch of folks you all have down there. It is great to put faces with the names.



I gotta say though, that some of you may not know what you're missing. Half the fun is caravaning down with a fleet of your buddies, getting calls on the CB from the truckers you pass wondering, "Where in hell are you all going?" Having an event like this is the best excuse for getting in the truck and going someplace.



Thanks Scott for inviting me and providing me with another 50 (hp) excuses to dyno. Batman, thanks for your help with the install. See you all soon.

Good time!

I had a blast! Thanks to my gracious host, Doug. It was a pleasure just to have time to talk with some of the fellas that I didn't get time to talk with here in Muncie.

Next year, I'll try to bring a truck.....

 

[Snow man]

Dito what everyone elso said,Kauffmans really hustled and worked hard,thank you to everyone who put it on,especially Andy,and Doug. The food was excellent. In looking at the dyno #'s,there was a lot of HP there that day. There were a lot of strong trucks there,to say the least!I am looking forward to going again next yr.

 

[Sled Puller]

Great time!



I would like to thank Jetpilot for letting me crush him,

Hammer, for just being Hammer,

South Bend Clutch for the 50% off door prize I won,

Jeff Knights son Ryan, for warming my truck up,( Ryan didn't want his Dad to dyno a stock truck, good thing he did!)

Andy of Smokin Diesel for taking the abuse, (OUCH!)

and the Kauffmans for agreeing to let us build a pulling track in their yard for next year.





I also discovered that 450 -500 hp 24 valve trucks are coming out of the woodwork. .

And I discovered the end limit of the 180 pump.

I am OUT of fuel. :{

 

[Wheaties]

Okay guys, here are some more numbers:

All together we put out a combined 16,774. 1 horses with a torque of 36,461. 4 ftlbs. Is that enough to light a small town or what?



Average for this crowd was 328. 9hp and 714. 9 ftlbs.



Ranges: 4 trucks 190-199 hp

19 trucks 200-299

17 trucks 300-399

7 trucks 400-499

3 trucks 500-599

... then there's Doug

 

[SmokinRam]

Great Time

I have to agree with everyone else.



What was expected to be a rainy day turned into a huge get together with great weather and most importantly, great people...



I too have to give a HUGE thanks to Doug(JetPilot) and Andy(Hammer) for putting on a great day.



I cannot wait til next year...



Congratulations on all of the great numbers...



And hey Scott, maybe next year I'll bring my truck and leave the "Girl Truck" at home...

 

[jstyer]

OOPS

In my earlier post I forgot to thank Doug and John for the injector install. Picked up 40+ HP. WOW. This is what the TDR is all about. Once again ---AWESOME EVENT!!!---

JohnOo.

 

[Batman]

Big thanks goes to all who organized and sponsored this event.

It was the biggest event I've been to so far and it was nice to put a face to many of the names here.

Take care.

 

[Shovelhead]

Here's one for the computer literate.



I received a disc of my Dyno runs taken Saturday, what program do I need to be able to open it and read it?



Pop up says "Open With"???



My Corona bottle opener won't work. :{

 

[Jetpilot]

Try dynojet runviewer... . You can download it here:



dynojet runviewer



Doug

 

[Hammer]

Shovelhead... .

Sled puller has had the same problem as you. I am going to Kauffmans on Tuesday to pick up a complete cd of runs done and will ask Dave for ya. If the program is not one you have I'll make them a jpeg file and send them to ya.



With the availability of trans blankets for the 5/6spds now one only has to wonder if Sled Puller will get to be the test truck for the SBC pulling clutch since he won the certificate??.



Massdiesel & ADT-I know guys here keep saying it and so did i at the show,but,thanks for being the first vendors to be at the show and all you guys did. I am glad to hear you will be back that means alot. (We just got to rid Andy of that ugly truck though,maybe his truck is still stuck on that trailer??,LOL)



Diesel Sport Promotions-Glad you had fun and hope we can see that truck next time(Especially since all of us in attendence know you got installation tips from Massdiesel while you were there,LOL). Look forward to seeing you come in next year. let me know eric if there is anything I can do to help at Indy next year,my offer still stands. I gotta get one of those bright yellow shirts man that was slick.



Wheaties-Ya beat me to the punch with the numbers and averages,the efforts put forth by all the gang who spun was tremendous to say the least. I'd bet the convoy was something to see and the large trucks a clammering about you guys.



Wiredawg,Mrs. Wiredawg and Shovelhead-Thanks for doing the wheeling of the gas grills. Food was great as it always is.



One person who has gotten overlooked by me and will now get a very large tip of the hat is DBF. DBF(Owen),for those who were not in attendence,won a door prize and upon looking at the table he realized when he was pulled there was nothing he wanted or could use for his truck,and passed the chance on to the next person. I want to send a large THANK YOU to him for doing that. It was a stand up gesture from a stand up guy.



Jetpilot-Thank you for all your lengthy work helping me with this show and the calls you made to make it better. I would not have been able to get it all done without your help. Thanks also for keeping me motivated and moviung when I was even feeling down.



Next year gang it will be better. This morning I have heard from 2 local business who slipped in unoticed to us to see what it was about and now will be on board for next year. They were ones I chatted with about coming and said no,but,in the midst they were both there and want to set up displays,what a way to start for next year... ... ... . Andy
