Mid-America Trucking Show - Louisville, KY - March 31-April 2

[HeavyHauler]

Ahhh ha, so you are the one. Well either way, it sounds awesome - I hope that you two will be able to go heads-up at Indy.

 

[DHRA]

Of course I will tell them Scott, you know me.

This show is forcing us (SDM) to get such a late start on testing that I am praying that we can put it out in front of the crowd by late June.

HH, we have a lot of catching up to do, that 7. 98 is no joke and a great mark to set!

Lunvall, make sure you come by and say howdy!

 

[slundvall]

Ladies & Gentlemen,



How about that we meet at the Cummins booth on any day of the show at about 1:00 pm ? Oo. Oo. Oo.



Then, any day you attend we can meet up there. :--)



Maybe a little tire smokin out in the yard?????



WAYNES WORLD

 

[HeavyHauler]

That's more than fine with me - but I'll probably have to meet you guys on Friday because if I'm still there at that time Saturday, it looks like there might be a couple of seminars that I might want to attend.



Wayne - I'd especially like to talk to you about your HTB2 while we're there. Someone mentioned your name in a thread I posted. I'm not putting out the fuel for it right now, but it might be something that's a possibility in the near future.

 

[WaynesWorld]

HeavyHauler,

I will be available for plenty of bench racing anytime. Oo. Oo.

Any thoughts of grinding your own plate yet???????



I will be the grey haired guy wearing the O_O life member jacket with WAYNES WORLD on it.



I usually drag around my cute little bride who on occasion has the same atire as I do.



If all else fails, I'm at the Ramada across the parking lot

I waited 17 years to get that spot!!!!!



Ya all cummin down,



WAYNES WORLD

Would not miss it for the world. I try to go every year see you their at the CUMMINS booth. Should I wear my dodge cap or my peterbuilt cap? :-laf :-laf

[WaynesWorld]

Tod,



You could wear the Dodge cap the first day

& the Cummins cap the second.



I plan for a wet visit this year, according to yesterday's national weather.



I usually wear my Life Member Owner- Operator jacket with WAYNES WORLD written on it. I have a cute little bride I drag around close behind me. Plus I take plenty of video shots to preserve the show for a friend of mine who is a retired trucker.



Looking forward to your tire kicking session.



WAYNES WORLD

 

[HeavyHauler]

Well I suppose some of you guys are leaving out today or maybe already gone to show so I'll see you guys Friday at 1:00 at the Cummins booth! Oo.



I'm the younger guy with short blonde-hair and I'll have my much more attractive (and shorter) better half with me. :-laf My name's Hans by the way.



You guys be careful heading to the show - we're not leaving out until late Thursday night.

 

[todt061458]

Hello well at least one of made it back alive. Too much walking but it was worth it the Hooters girls were fantasic. I loved all the cummins rep had to say he hinted that the offical exhaust brake would be released in june? DiD not state a year :{ :-laf :-laf I loved the new VOLVO 880 but I will still buy a kenworth. Much more to talk about. Later goto go fuel the truck and empty all the lit ect out of the truck. TOD

 

[rv291toter]

Spent two days there. Lots of walking, got lost alot, and couldn't find the food when I was hungry. Great show, been there 2 years in a row and plan on going again.

 

[slundvall]

Glad to meet everybody Saturday

Sherry

 

[WaynesWorld]

To all who attended the Louisville truck show---- Oo. Oo. Oo.



The bride & I had a great time. We met some TDR members at Cummins & at the Schied dragster.

Big trucks were cool, but the Hot Rodz put on a show stopper performance. Outragous lift off cabs & hoods, one did a 360 in mid air!!!! :--) The show work trucks were truly awsume to see. Too bad they didn't have a night time light show!!!

The bikini team & hooters girls were UP to our standards of excellence.



Sherry,

I'm glad you made it home thru the weather. Got to love that 4-wheel drive at a time like that.

You have a great bunch of kids.



Tod,



Sorry we missed you at the show. But I'm glad that " shine & or lady" didn't side track you. Your a brave man. :-laf

The TDR people took over the Cummins CR 24 v engine display for about an hour on friday. :-laf

On Thursday we did the same at the Schied dragster. A lot of bench racing took place. We could have used you.

Look forward to seeing you in Minooka.



Till next year at the show,

Wayne

 

[nieters]

[todt061458]

I am sorry I missed everyone too! :{ But mabe next time I can give you my cell # or my nextel direct connect number than I won't get lost :-laf Look forward to seeing you all in april. Quick question do you guys use DTT for your transmission work or dave goerand( hope I spelled it correct?) in iowa just asking If DTT the closest is LSFARM in michigan or their a closer dealer??? Please no trans :-{} just a personal need. My truck loves the open hwy but hates the city and fuel milage was down and heat was up slipping tc I think?

 

[HeavyHauler]

Great to meet Eric, Wayne, Sherry, and Chad - I look forward to seeing you again at IRP!

 

[WaynesWorld]

nieters,

Sunday in Chicago 67*, Monday in chicago 68* 7 have a nice day. :-laf



Tod,

I have Dave's transmission & triple disc combo. Email me & I'll call you direct. We can talk $$$ & distance.

The show was great!!! Did you get a chance to check the Show & Shine trucks ?

The 2 trucks that the cab lifted completely off the frame were spectacular. I couldn't take my eyes off the one cab as it did a 360* turn up in the air.

And those 5 custom trucks :--) :--)

I still can't believe those "work custom trucks" Oo. Oo. Oo.



Hans,

Enjoyed meeting you at the show.

Look forward to an Indy meeting, more bench racing & a little tire smoke!



See you all soon,

call me later,

Wayne

rv291toter,

Did you bring your rv with?

The lot where the big trucks had a lot of mud holes in it. I saw 2 trucks stuck all the way to the fuel tanks. :-{}

How about some of those rv's & tow rigs they had?

Next year we will be better organized. Did you see they are adding on to the south building ? Bigger & better, YES!!



Till next time,

Wayne

 

[todt061458]

Wayne I sent you a e-mail I hoped it worked. The show will just get bigger and bigger But the show in dallas is always warmer and almost as good and nothing like texas BBQ :-laf :-laf you can't get lost just follow your nose to the food!

 

[DHRA]

That was a good time! It was great meeting all of you and seeing those that I already know.

I bet we had over 20,000 people stop at the booth and look at the dragster! WOW!
