Well Time draws near and its time for a small update... ... .
I have been to SGS and they are ready for us and look forward to our show. I have been reminded of a couple of things though by them. The dually owners are reminded that they need tod rop off their outside wheels to allow us to get them in and out more efficently. Stacks owners need tod rop their flex pipes if they can or allow us to slide the exhaust pipes over the top to have the exhaust exit the building as much as possible. Tools will be on hand to do this for both owners.
King Of The Hill Torque Shootout.....
This year I am doing something different for our Fall show and the Spring and Summer shows will be used to help it. It will be a torque shootout involving the winners from last years Fall Brawl show and the best trucks from our shows this year. I will take the Best Dodge,Ford,Chevy/GMC and the best 1st Generation truck(no matter what brand as outlined by the Fall Brawl rules)for this shootout from Spring Fling and the Summer Drag Race/Dyno Rip. They will all compete At this years Fall Brawl show for their chance at a special Throphy for this shootout. Owners already Qualified are as follows...
1st Generation-JD730 from the DTR
Modified-CTD8999 from the TDR
Competition-LMills from the TDR
Unlimited-Offshoreracr from the TDR
There will be a total of 12 owners who will be eligible for this shootout later this year,those listed above and the 4 each from the other shows. Torque is being used because it can be made by all owners if their tune is sound. This will be done during your normal dyno runs and yes you still have to pay for them. If the torque is flatlined we will figure it by hand and in case of a tie it will be broken by using HP. If this goes well this year I would like to include it permantly. If you have any idea of suggestions feel free to pm me here or email me direct at this address... . -- email address removed --.
Rumors,Myths and Urban Legends???????... .
-Rumors have it that Ernie will be around and that he wants to do a Cummins conversion Ford truck so can beat up on Lloyd and Greg. I am guesssing that Kia may have to hide his common rail conversion so he doesn't give Ernie any bad ideas then,LOl.
-It has been noted already that Lloyd has been out testing to keep Greg inline and that Greg is readying a new bullet to teach Lloyd a lesson on Powerstrokes. This writer thinks we all better bring our tennis shoes as someone will need pushed out of the garage again this spring. BTW Greg,the leafblower police will be on hand so you do not harm it this year.
-Rumors have a big HP Ford out of the Hanover area showing up to educate us all. When I attempted to track down this owner I ended up in a sobriety checkpoint and once released he was never found. I am convinced that othert than Greg's truck a High HP Ford is like a urban legend. . Always heard about,but,never seen near a pulling track or a dyno event.
-Urban Legends??...
It has been told to me that a already noted and seen by many 700hp+ Duramax will be on hand Saturday for us all to see in action. It would be nice to see one(a Duramax) in person and if he lays down what he did down south he may just give Dougie and Fred heartburn. Anyone have the safety straps for Dougs cylinder head if this happens as we all know what he did when he tried to run around Fred last fall?.
-Another Ford Urban Legend??...
There is supposed to be a killer 6. 0 out of Virginia who has laid plans to destroying all who pull with the local pulling association in the street class. Seen last week at Tappahanock,VA it had some sweet looking headers and a big turbo to beat up on the two other mild Dodges which were in attendence. He has been asked to come up for the show,as have all who pull with this group,but I am figuring he will be a no show out of fear. BTW,this same association has Sled Pullers old ride in it since it was sold again,who knows maybe we will find it slip in?... .
Time also to post your food thoughts gang so we can tally up if we need anything. See You all soon... ... . Andy

just an update!
We have arranged for Van Aaken to be present at our show. The general manager for Van Aaken USA and Pete, the developer of the VA C5 custom tunable box, will be present for the dyno competition. If all goes as planned, we may try to do some custom tuning during the lunch hour when the dyno is normally shut down. That way everyone can see first hand the adjustability of the box.

I've got the grill w/propane, and I'll bring some burgers. I also have some frozen chicken, and sausages left over from FB06.
I'll be coming up with you guys!
Im in, along with the rest of the NEPA gang
me and all the rest of the NEPA gang
Not going to make this one or too many in the future. Picked up and moved to Orlando. Even purchased an 06 and put the 95 up for sale. Wanted to say thanks to Hammer for the great shows and information given here and there as well as thanks to all of the MDTDC crew. Great folks who keep things interesting. Keep up the great work and I hope to make it back every so often.
