Great trucks.

Great beer.

Great bartender.

Great smokeshows - both tire and toner. :-laf

Great pulls.

Thank you for making the entire caravan cry with laughter! Seeing a welding rig go down hill smoking ... . up hill , flat , idle , EVERYWHERE smoking and never cleaning up ..... EVER. Good god it was plain hysterical.

Yea, very funny! That's my turbo he's driving on! I'm going to cry when he hands me back a vaguely turbo shaped blob of metal. :{

Best part was the State Cop giving directions to the strip bar over his patrol car PA.

I've set up an FTP account for pictures and video clips of Muncie. If anyone has anything they'd like to share in in a short video I'm putting together, send me a PM and I'll include as much as I can. I'd really like to get video or pics from the evening festivities outside Lees Inn. My camera batteries were charging both nights and I've got nothing. I've got most of the sled pulling and drag racing, but if you have anything to contribute, send me a pm and I'll send you the FTP account info.

It was great to meet the people that i did, wish I could have meet more. The cop giving directions was dedicated i heard him in the lobby later that night tell a couple of guys he would take them down and drop them off because they were drunk. (good cop go get your doughnut) . Toolman hope the F. A. S. S is working out good for you, after i finished the corona i grab the camera and actully got a couple of brad under the hood helping with his system. Its good to see that kind of support from a company. Cant wait to see everyone again. Who all is going to the scheids??

o Having a truck that is so clean you can eat off the underside isn't necessarily practical, is probably a sickness, but at least it gets you a nice trophy. Way to go Hammer!!

Thanks Matt...

It is nice to know that my 100,000 mile ride had enough to add a little more iron to the basement shelf. I really did figure I would get out gizmo'ed and not get anything,guess I was very wrong.



Yeah your right,I do get a "Little" crazy keeping it clean. You should have seen the Phord Guys at the Loves in Ohio when they tried to tell me its garage kept and never driven in bad weather,LOL. No garage to fit it,driven daily no matter what the weather and always kept shiney. Well I guess I better fess up,there WAS this ONE time I went to a M-D TDR gathering completely messed up and covered in salt. Best part of it was NO ONE got a shot of it to come out. Rammin On's camera messed up,Somehow Shovelhead didn't take one of it and who knows what happened to the rest,so I am safe..... LOL... . . . Andy

 

[HoleshotHolset]

The only thing I can contribute is a few blurry shots of the bartender @ the Regency.



I really wish my cellphone's camera was a few megapixels... .

Next time we drive through a tunnel with the convoy,I have to remember my infa-red goggles so I can see through the black cloud did I tell you I'm in room 204 To all TDR members----next time RED HOT WELD is working at an event with his truck... ..... PLEASE GIVE HIM A BEER... very dedicated person to go on a long trip for a vaca and work all day on everyone elses truck but his own... . TOOLMAN,the bill in the mail for the generator rental how about the pizza delivery guys girlfriend,she pulls up and says that her boyfriend just dropped of pizzas for us and lost his keys,can we help find them. sure one guy says if you show us your boobies... ...

[Turbo Tim 1]

Muncie was awesome, it was my first trip to Muncie and my first TDR related event. I didn't meet nearly as many people as I wanted too but those that I did meet were great folks... . Thanks to the NE guys for letting me tag along. The problem is that now I've got a whole new list of things I NEED for my truck. See ya there next year and probably a few more places between now and then.



By the way, even those blurry shots are awe inspiring

Yeah I missed ALL the festivities on Saturday Nite due to sweating out the fuel system. I justt wanted to get through it so the 13 Hour drive home wouldn't involve a trailer or some sort of transport. There were a few moments when I heard an aweful lot of hoot'n and hollerin' and thats when you knew something good was going on.
