Michiganders heading to "DIESEL THUNDER" @ IRP June 24-26 ?

[IC Smoke]

Ok who all is heading to Diesel Thunder @ IRP on June 24th-26th (friday - sunday)? Where is everyone staying at? they have hotels, tent camping, and house on wheels camping facilities near by. Oo. We can get a convoy heading down from the great state, and maybe pick up a few hoosiers and buckeyes along the way! We should get our reservations made asap!



This is going to be my first time and I wouldnt mind being in the late nighters area. :-laf

I plan on making it. Hopefully my GF can come as well. I'll either be staying with someone, or i'll take my parents camper or just tent it. either way it'll still be fun.

I go to TIM every year. I'll be camping at the track.

 

[mjoppie]

i would defifitly be up for the trip, and my girl friend wants to go to Oo. dont know what to think about that :-laf but we would probably go to the camp gruond and tent it for sat night, i have to find out what works like and talk to the boss, but should be able to get sat off and be on our way. i have been wanting to go for a couple of years and never had any push to help me decide on going, this year i got people like ian that stay persistant in talking people into going, just what i needed

 

[silver03]

I am going on friday morning and staying untill Sunday. I am staying at a hotel. Is anyone pulling, dynoing, or drag racing their truck?

 

[R-N-R]

I need to get more details on camping at the track, but if it is open I would like to leave Thurs.

 

[mjoppie]

i wouldnt mind getting mine on a dyno, or drag racing just to see what it can do, by then i should have all my "drugs" on it and running good. silver03 are you going to get yours on a dyno? it will be neat to see all these trucks in person, i have only seen them in pics and would be cool to talk to a lot of people on this site.

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

I always drag race my truck at TiM. I may be racing in the DHRA series at us-131 dragway this year as well ( http://www.131dragway.com/Schedule.htm ). I used to drag the truck all the time but have been moving back over to bikes mostly.

 

[IC Smoke]

How do you sign up for the drag/dyno? Id like to get in them both, Im plannin on leaving fri mornnig (silver03 you came down to the meet/greet didnt you?) too. Im also looking to camp at the track.



Ian

 

[silver03]

yea, I was there.

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

Signups for both are on site - at least they have been in the past. I'm sure Eric will have information up soon.

 

[PAddington]

I think I will be going, but not sure yet. I will have my overdrive transmission in by then so it would be a nice easy crusie on down.

 

[I-6DZL]

Steve did you every get some new'er tires ??? I think your slicks are almost too slick for the intended perpose



Later

Curtis

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

Oh yeah, I've always got another set lying around. Last year I was afraid I wasn't going to make it through the races on sunday after saturday night .

 

[bluthndr]

Me too

I'm planning on it...

 

[I-6DZL]

Steve i was kind of leary as well. You sure do know how to put on a good show. Keep up the good work

I will be heading to Muncie/IRP again this year. I made reservations the other week but I forget where. Where are the evening activities going to be this year?

I always drag race my truck at TiM. I may be racing in the DHRA series at us-131 dragway this year as well ( http://www.131dragway.com/Schedule.htm ). I used to drag the truck all the time but have been moving back over to bikes mostly.

Steve,

How do you sign up for the drag?

I have never raced before at TiM but I would like to this year.



I was going to ask a few questions but I found a few answers here: http://www.dhraonline.com/?GROUP=series&PAGE=natdtirpdrag



Does anybody know if these races open to DHRA members only?



Thanks,

Ryan
