Upstate NY Wrench Day!

Upstate Bombers is a TDR Chapter!

Thanks,

We also will be running a bracket style shootout for those who dyno on each day. Its a contest to see how well you know your own truck,the added cost will be $1 with the winner taking it all. When its your turn to dyno simply write down on your T-time card what you think your truck will make for HP and pay the man in the dyno bay the extra dollar. The owner who is the closest to his HP guess will win the added pot. In case more than one owner end up in a tie,the purse that is gathered will be split between them all. YOU MUST BE PRESENT to collect your winnings at the end of each day. Separate events will be held for both days and all owners are eligible each day if they dyno on each day and pay the fee... ... ..... Andy

I was happy to break 500. 541 was with Smarty on 9 TST on 3 but no TNT. I'm wondering now what I would have done with TNT loaded.
 
And a HUGE thanks to everyone that made this possible. Hammer, Rams and Hogs, Scott, the SGS crew and everyone else.

thanks Bob. the smarty performed awesome!!! i think i could have gotten the other 9 hp by turning the timing up to the highest setting and turning the rail pressure up to 4. but im not un happy with my numbers. :)

Arrrgghh!!!! You got a backside shot of me in there. LOL



And a technically fine picture it is, too! (I'll let the ladies opine about its artistic qualities. )



It's mostly what folks saw of you on Sunday, while you were installing valve springs on one truck and a secondary CP3, with some custom fabrication, on another. The photo archive would've been incomplete without it. :)



But not to worry. There're some pics of your bad side, too. :D :D

A Big Thanks to the Crew of the NHRDA for their support of our club!!!!
 
Well what can a person say after a weekend like we had. It just keeps getting better with each year and thats due to the fine people who come out and enjoy the show. There were plenty new faces seen and alot of old friends also there working on shaking off the Winter cobwebs. Saturday was absolutely gorgeous as the rain steered North and West of us. Events all over locally were washed out and yet we rolled on. The group who wanted to go sled pulling later was a tad disappointed but they stayed and spent the time with us and had a blast.



Many thanks from us all go to the fine people at SGS Performance for allowing us to use their fine facilities for our show. Once again they trudged on and keep the pace going and it made for a good time for all. On Sunday when the rains came and dampened things a bit,they still rolled on and kept the show moving with no issues at all. They also deserve a BIG thanks for allowing us to use their shop for some guys to get work done. Thanks alot gang from all of us at the M-D TDC for the fine weekend.



Lloyd Mills and Dave Goodwin deserve a big thank you for the work on the trucks they performed all weekend long. BOTH guys spent most all weekend tuning and helping others so they could make some last minute tuning to their respective rides for dyno rolls. At one point both were seen with only their legs showing from under hoods and those trucks they worked on made gains to make their owners smile.



Our resident cook,Chef Pappy worked his tail off all weekend long wheeling the clubs big grill. I know he had plenty of help and for the life of me I do not remember all of them so not to miss anyone I will say we ALL appreciate their help with lunch both days. Then on Sunday they went above and beyond and wheeled the grill right through the rain,which at times looked like a monsoon, and keep those in attendance fed. Thanks to all of the cooks for the help.



We were not without out some wounded trucks this weekend though. Rams-N-Hogs(aka-Pappy) provided those who were broke help and a lift home. One gentleman lost a valve on a CR Dually during a test ride and TimeBomb's 12ver lost the clutch hydraulics on the way and didn't make it. Pappy used his trailer and made sure those who were less fortunate made it home. He is a class act and again he showed all of why,THANKS JIM!!!!!!!.



I received many thanks this weekend for the shows but keep telling everyone its not me who makes the shows what they are,its those who come and enjoy them. For that I thank those who keep coming out to spend time with us. Before you know it the annual fall show will be upon us and the date has been set and it will be posted very soon. See You all at the next gathering... ... Andy
 
Here are some photos taken by myself and fest3er. His album has been posted already but they are also in mine. If anyone has any they would like added send them to me at -- email address removed -- and I will make sure they are placed into them... ... ... Andy
