Mid-Tenn Chapter Roundtable

[Got Smoke?]

Well we had a small gathering at the house yesterday, Wade, Terry, Travis, Erik, Kyle, we had a good time, talk was to try and get together alittle more often. We are going to try to do a HOOTERS in Hermitage,TN gathering, just a meet and greet type thing, but we need more member participation, so guys we got to stop and make time, we all can come up with the excuses as to why we can't make it. Life is short, lets start getting together more and have some fun, even all of us go cruising. I want to here some feedback!

I second all the above. Does everybody still want to do the annual cook out at my parents house this year? My place just doesn't have enough room. It would be July 14th for those interested.



Oh BTW here's a killer burnout I did @ IRP this past weekend.



My Killer Burnout



Which BTW Chris Newsome of Cedar City Diesel qualified in the TOP 25 @ IRP!!! However he was DQ'd later because of lack of 1" of rear suspension travel! Would hav been nice to see how well he would have done against everybody @ IRP.

Anthony, Industrial Inection is supposed to have a good one. They are supposed to be nice guys, although I have no personal experience.



I think the hot rod pump is supposed to be something like 40hp over stock. I'm not for sure though. I'm not up on my current VP upgrade offerings.



I think Meacham burned up an HRVP or two. Best I recall he said it wasn't worth the extra $$'s. However please note that I am NOT speaking FOR him. I'm relaying what I remember HEARING him say... . (before I get my case jumped by somebody again. )



Did you determine your VP to be your issue and not the edge box? Did the diagnostic lights tell you anything?

 

[hotram03]

Sounds good to me Got Smoke. Set a date.

Andy,



I have only driven it once since Wednesday. Have not checked the Edge yet. Pretty sure the VP is bad. When I can get enough time to get it hot and acting up again, I will check the LED's. Will be sure to do it before replacing pump.



More meetings sounds good to me. I hated to miss the last one.



Anthony

[WadePatton]

14 July at Mark's! (parents)

That's where I do my yearly burnout. :-laf



MUD BOG, IVY BLUFF tonight at 6pm.



That's where we've pulled a time or two. It's about 10 miles South of Woodbury off 53--and about 10 miles north of BonnyRoo--I could hear that thing from my place last night. IOW, I wouldn't come through Manchester.



I suppose Barry and his rock-crawling crowd have found a new competitive thing. Don't know anything else about it, but here's the website:

Anybody coming to Springfield Friday night?



Scott

 

[acook]

I'll be there. I pretty sure Joe and Killer will be there to.

 

[hotram03]

I'll make it and bring along a face or two with me.

 

[GCroyle]

H E L L O !

Where you guys at? Is every one on vacation? Whats going on in the volunteer state?



Wade, you lost in the hills and hollers?

Andy last I heard from you, the Lonestar state was home, how bout it?

Anthony, got parts?

Joe, got an e-mail on the 16th, no text attached?



Still working, still playing with clutches, oldest daughter got accepted at Francis Marion University, younger daughter work at a real nice bank, headed for Coker College, son has a sorta summer job. There, you are all caught up.

 

[acook]

Been busy. Had open house at work yesterday. Great turn out.



Still no parts. Waiting on funds.



Spare car had to be towed home last night. Overheated and blowing sweet smelling white smoke out back. Now I'm bumming rides to work.



How ya'll doing?

 

[AndyMan]

Busy busy. I can't seem to get caught up.



I've spent a total of almost three weeks in Texas now (over the past year). This last run was 6 days, and am thankful to be back HOME in TN. I'm glad all those people that live in Texas love it... they can sure enough have it as far as I'm concerned. Nice people and great food, but their road system is all jacked-up.

 

[AndyMan]

BTW. 24v parts truck up in lebanon.

2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins Diesel

 

[GCroyle]

AndyMan, TN barbque vs. TX hill country slow cooked smoked brisket and sausage with a long neck, let me think about that one!



Anthony, time to trade them all in to buy a CXT or what ever those mega monster pick em all up at one time Navistars is.



Wade, point them satalite rabbit ears back towrds cibilizatun and get yer ears on good buddy! Oops, that's old talk ain't it!



I forgot Tim A. is painting the back end of his truck coal black one stop light at a time, muffler broke a month after we put a clutch in his truck, and it ran soo good, the clutch melted his Edge box! Naw it didn't but I like the sound of it though, but his box is still melted.

 

[hotram03]

Well I'm still alive, but haven't heard from Wade since my gathering, I hope it wasn't something he ate, :-laf, my cookings not that bad, but then again I ain't heard from any of them, ya know I ate the same stuff.

 

[Rattler]

I'm still lurking in the shadows listening to you guys. Been trying to find hay for the moo cows and repaint the GTX before National time gets here in August. Randy

 

[BigPapa]

Well Team Underwood (Dodge AND Duramax) showed well tonight in Springfield.



Barry in the D-max won the 6200 class with Joe a close 2nd. (I can't remember the distances!)



In the 7200 class Joe won with a 337. 98' pull! Oo. It was VERY impressive and I think it was the longest pull of the night. Great weather, great track, and LOTS of trucks and people.



Congratulations to all!

Oh c'mon Scott..... no mention of the Blue MegaCab from KY in the open class?!? :-laf

 

[Got Smoke?]

Here is a link to a new thread I started for the July meeting.



July Meeting



We usually don't get the Dickson area boys for this one... . Gap, Joe, Andy it'd be nice to see y'all.

 

[BigPapa]

Oh, Kentucky schmucky. Them KY boys are Yankees! He did have a good pull. I would have liked to see Joe pull against him with his weights. Only the Open class could use weights.



I did forget Steven Shope in his new-to-him 3rd Gen. I think he pulled @275' in the 8200 class.
