Mid-Tenn Chapter Roundtable

[Got Smoke?]

Your wheels will fit on his truck, but even if those Welds are 16. 5's they will most likely NOT fit your truck.



Very sad shame..... to trade a set of OEM's for a set of Welds would be AWSOME!!

What was the question???

Hey folks. Coupla things.



Tires: I just put Mickey Thompson Baha MXT's on the red truck--way cheaper than Revo's ($144 vs. 191 m&b)--and more aggressive, PLUS made in USA. I've found some STL's in 285--10-ply! I might put them on the green one.



Tires and Accessories: A friend of mine can get some tires/suspension/etc stuff fairly cheap. Holler at me with what you need.



Tech Assistance: For those that need to get in out of the weather, and could use some tech assistance, we can use my shop (one holer) for little stuff--like brakes, holes, injectors, turbos, timing, etc. Call for availability/directions. Kerosene for heat until I get the woodstove moved in.



Moving: Need some moving help to get my junk out of my M'boro house.



Life: Bowling, Hunting, babysitting, trying to get house sold to buy business in Woodbury. Antiques and Feed. That and I may be getting married next year.



Smoke: Did a doughnut in the Boro the other night, security guy called the cops, cops came a running, I was long gone... friend was watching and told me about it. :-laf Did a third-gear burnout with the old Michelins--awesome! Oo.



PULLING

MTPA CLASS RULES?!!

The ford guys want to adopt the DHRA rules. I haven't gotten around to looking at all that stuff. Rules/Classes meeting Jan 18--for class reps. Glenn Stoner and I will be class reps for that meeting.



I favor something simpler, but Glenn thinks it would be better to have uniform rules--he expects folks to come from all over.



Anyone with rules input?



Carry on.

Moving: Need some moving help to get my junk out of my M'boro house.

Life: I may be getting married next year.

[Crazygator]

I got 2 trailers if you need more plus my truck. 12' and 22' trailers. I guess that would be enough room... unless your a pack rat like us... hahaha



Let me know and I will try to help as well.



THanks for your offer on the shop. When I get my new toys I will need some help and a nice warm place to work would be really great too!

 

[Crazygator]

Ok guys,



Lunch, next Tuesday.



Location and time?



Chow!

 

[Piston Slapper]

I've got work planned for 11:00, should be done by 11:30 if all goes well. 11:45 - 12:00 (noon) is probably earliest I can get there. I am on West End Ave, right behind the Parthenon.

 

[AndyMan]

Lunch Tuesday. . yep yep. . I suppose Gap-0 and I will ride together... You gonna bring the new white one man or ya want me to drive?



Who else is in?



Me (andy)

Gap (piston Slapper)

Wallace (CrazyGator)

Paul (Kimber)???



Wade, Mark, Hans, Jay, Tim, Steve, anybody else is welcome... Just let us know. I guess Brentwood or Harding Place area?



Somebody wanna call Mecham? Like to see that new red sport!



/abg

 

[HeavyHauler]

Thanks for the invite Andy, but I'll be in transit from Memphis to Hohenwald about that time, otherwise I would try and make it up there. It might give me an excuse to do some X-mas shopping. Nah, I'll just wait 'til the 24th like every other year. :-laf



Maybe you guys can set a date for the meeting that day so Wade can get some cards sent out.



Wade - be glad to help you move some stuff. I'm available next week on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday if you can wait 'til then. Just let me know.

 

[Piston Slapper]

We might want to take mine as you might scorch a piston AndyBoy!

 

[Crazygator]

Well Ive done it now!... . hahaha naw just kidding



Got new Gauges from Geno's coming... YEA! I am going to make my own custom mount. I like the pods idea, but when going for the joy ride in Meacham's twin beast I thought they might be too much in my face in my truck. We will see... Oh yeah, they are Westech gauges.



I guess I need to line up 4" exhaust next. Mach 2 injectors will be a few weeks still, then on to maybe a kwikspool B1-1. Sounds like I am working on a good project truck for us, haha!



What is everyones thought on the 19. 5" rims? Anyone got a set from Rickson?

/abg

Thanks for thinking of me fella's, but I work mid-day shifts everyday plus I'm probably an hour or better away... . little far for lunch as much as I'd like to.

Wade! Can we do a stack install at your place on the 18th or 19th? (next weekend?) I will have everything I need by then, and I'm off that whole weekend. I'll chip in on the kerosene! Oo. :-laf



I wish I could help ya on the move, but I'm headed to northern KY tomorrow for my KY clubs Christmas meet. Plus I'm working all days now. If you still need any help by next weekend I'd be happy to help.



Also I think its a BAD! idea to adopt DHRA rules. I believe they require d-shaft loops for the street class!! :-{} DHRA = TOO MANY rules for small town pulls!

 

[Dieselnutz]

The new baby (Brett) finally got here Monday at 9pm. Been real busy the last few weeks. Some real thump'n sounds found the way in the cab! Lunch on Tuesday sounds good to me!#ad

 

[Crazygator]

Cute kid!

And now the work begins, now that he is home!

 

[Kimber]

Congrats Steve

Looks like Brett is fine... . hope Mom is too.



Tuesday sounds good to me..... say around 12:00? ... . place?

I'll be there unless there's a meltdown at work.

 

[Crazygator]

12:00 Tuesday is good.



Place everyone?

 

[JSykes]

Fellas,



I think I should be able to make it on Tuesday. I am up for any place you guys choose, but I do prefer a place with scenery like HOOOOOOTERS.



Later,



Jay

 

[Dieselnutz]

HOOTERS! Oo.

 

[JSykes]

Steve, congrats on the new addition. He looks healthy and happy.



Wade, you still interested in the stainless bug guard that was on my truck? $40 and it's yours. The fender eye brows were never installed. The center section is in great shape, just needs a little cleaning.



Trying to get some stuff sold so I can get me some of them little Mach 3 Don M's. Getting a bonus at work that I should be able to cover a single disc SB clutch.



Anybody up for a dyno run at Delk? I would like to see where I am now before going stepping up to the injectors, clutch, and probably FASS pump. Read in one of the forums that FASS is offering a 150 GPH fuel pump without the water and air separator. A less expensive alternative that I would like to look into.



Wade, did you ever get the Preporator put on the red truck?



We got somebody with a stout red over black 12V 1 ton duallie there at work. I can hear him when he leaves at around 2:30. Can't figure out who it belongs to. Want to get a closer look at his truck.



Got to do some maintenance tommorow on mine. Fuel filter, transmission fluid and add the filter to the PTO cover. FASTDIESEL hooked me up on the boost elbow that I am going to install. (Thanks again FASTDIESEL. ) Also got a Borgeson steering shaft to install to reduce some of the wander.



See you guys on Tuesday... ... .

 

[AndyMan]

So Hooters at Harding Place??? Sounds like a winner to me. 12 Noon.



CONGRATULATIONS STEVE! MAN I wish I had that much hair!!
