Mid-Tenn Chapter Roundtable

[HeavyHauler]

I'll be coming up I-65. I think the quickest way to get to Bethpage is to get off at Exit 95 and the 386 and then to 31, or do I have it all wrong?

On second thought, it looks like it will be closer and quicker for me to hit 840 off of 65 and take it all the way to 40 and come up through lebanon on 231.



So directions from 231 would be great.

 

[Kimber]

Was gonna see if ya'll cared about rescheduling the TDR meet till the 29th of Jan? I double booked myself by accident. I forgot my wife is going too atlanta and I gotta run the store. Would be super duper with me if we could!!!



Jan 29th???

O. K. with me..... ya gotta keep the income comin in

 

[Dieselnutz]

[Got Smoke?]

Oh yeah and don't try razzing me on "poor smoke effects" :flipoff: dad was the one in the cab and he always fears I will yell at him for revving my truck too aggressively (goes back to him starting it dead cold in winter and me saying DON'T REV IT! ... guess what he did! :lol: )



Don't worry more smoke it coming..... oh JR! I'm ready for DV's! :naughty:

 

[Dieselnutz]

Had a good day working on trucks!

 

[Got Smoke?]

Wade has plan's and no way to get me the timing tools.

 

[HeavyHauler]

Kinda had a feeling that would fall through - hard to get things together on a short notice. Maybe since we're putting the big meeting off until the last of the month, a few of us could get together and take care of your timing and I could get you guys to give me a hand with these gauges. This fuel pressure thing is extremely confusing and I get very nervous around wires and tubing, LOL. I should get those things in this coming week but my Edge box will be in Monday. It's gonna take every ounce of self-control I have to keep from putting that thing in.



Anyone know what size fitting I need to connect to the schrader valve? I've still gotta get a hose made up. The hose from Geno's isn't gonna be long enough.

 

[WadePatton]

Hey folks, did I miss anything?



What's up with our Jan meeting?



Hey Mark, them some short stacks. :-laf



Graphic Design team been doing anything? Oo.

 

[Piston Slapper]

We postponed the January meeting till the 29th due to I double booked my self for that weekend. Joe will have his new tire shop(30 x 70) built by then too so we'll have plenty of room. 2 Bays and 2 Lifts. What time do ya'll want to meet. Ya'll still want hotwings too??

 

[Crazygator]

Well I still have no injectors yet, hope Rod at wildcat still comes through even though he is closed..... so yes I am worried now. . haha



Anything working on a dyno day?

 

[HeavyHauler]

Well I got my Edge in today... and I couldn't wait for the gauges. :-laf Had to go ahead and install it but I took it easy (yeah right) and I made sure that I let it cool down before I shut it off. I don't think I'll have any EGT problems with the 4" exhaust and Scotty II, plus I put the boost elbow in.



The AirDog will be here Friday, and I'm still waiting on my gauges. Speaking of which...



Wade, how do you feel about helping me put those babies in sometime next week or weekend? They probably won't be here until the end of next week though. :{



I've got a feeling I won't be able to wait until the 29th and if I dig into it, I'm sure I'll mess it up.



It's been pretty quiet on here - what's everyone else been doing?

 

[Got Smoke?]

Been working my tail off!



Got my other stacks on, but haven't had time to get any pics yet. Getting ready to start doing a little bit of traveling already (the g/f is loving that! :-laf )



I've got a KYDTR meeting the 22nd in Indiana (30 mins on the other side of Louisville KY), then our Mid-Tenn deal on the 29th, then I have to go to Ohio for the weekend after that to get my traction bars fabbed up for pulling this summer!



Man... . its starting already and pulling season isn't even here yet! :-laf

 

[Dieselnutz]

Do any of you guys have a aftermarket fuel plate that you would sell? Or maybe a spare stock one, so we could try a homebrew custom plate!

 

[Kimber]

Well I still have no injectors yet, hope Rod at wildcat still comes through even though he is closed..... so yes I am worried now. . haha

Try posting in the forums, maybe someone has contact info to get you in touch with Rod... . if you haven't already.

Ya'll still want hotwings too??

let me know where you got the last ones and how many pounds... I'll bring um

 

[WadePatton]

City Diesel has some new turbos on the market. I'm VERY happy with the little ole Dodgezilla on my 24v. Gonna get a bigger one for the 12v... and a pump.



Have a member ya'll ain't met who needs to install 24v injectors. Might get him out there on the 29th.



RULES for pulling. We need to work something out for the MTPA. The ford guys want to adopt DHRA rules. Meeting is on the 18th. Kick it around.



Dyno--Still waiting to hear why we don't go use the big truck dyno in Jackson. I'll call the Delk boys anyway--but I think they're tired of soot. :-laf



Gauges--I love 'em. Installing Gauges--I hate it, but I do have some experience and some paint for the pillar. Time? Not anytime soon. I have a house to sell and a store to buy...

Bad idea! DHRA rules call for D-shaft loops... . dunno where those can be had anywhere NEAR a resonable price.

 

[Piston Slapper]

Mark, I could not find in the rules where Driveshaft loops are required in the The Street Class. They are only required in the Super Street (twins) and Modified (the big boys) class. Only thing I see in the rules that we do not currently do is the "x" crossed bolts in the exhaust after the turbo to catch possible blow outs.

I appologize then, someone very trust-worthy had informed me that DHRA ruleds made 'loops maditory. I did not however look it up on my own.
