Well I'll ramble a bit now and try not to bore anyone.....
The day was about as perfect as one could have ever wanted. Bright sunshine,70 degree temps,no clouds brought forth a very large turnout of amazing looking rides with one for almost anyone to admire. While walking about(yes,I did get outside this time and I'll fill you all in later here about that)I was amazed at how many trucks were on hand and how their respective owners had them detailed and ready to shine on a nice day like we had. As I rambled about I counted 130+/- on hand with many owners coming and going all day long. By far its our clubs best single day turnout by a longshot. Ernie's field was full from top to bottom with very little parking room left. Lots of tires were heard screaming in pain while the owners mashed the loud pedal and their turbos begged for mercy. It was easy to tell they were going to shake thier winter blues off and the tires took the brunt of their frustrations,LOL.
Some words of praise need to be handed out to those who make our shows go off without a hitch. The ENTIRE Kauffman Motorsports crew work hard to make these shows go off without a hitch. NOTHING could be done with Ernie,Nancy and their entire staffs quality of work and their dedication to making us feel welcome each time we come in. Many times when I sit with Ernie he comments about how organized we all are and how the shows go off without a hitch but most of that is attributed to a fine business like theirs. I was the initial bad influence on them way way back and too see what these shows have become now simply amazes me. With the size of this show now we may have to make it two days next year to allow all to participate who desire too. THANKS Kauffman Motorsports on a job WELL DONE!!!!!!
Two other hard working vendors need to be thanked as they spent the entire day answering the many questions we had and/or selling parts/services. Zimmies Automotive(Dale Zimmerrman) and Fluiddampr(Lynn Livermore-Dan Oddy) representatives were kept busy all day by us and enjoyed their time there. Both vendors deidecation to our show and club is greatly apprecated and we look forward to being able to help them when they need it. Lynn and Dan from Fluidampr gave me a idea for the Fall Brawl show so after the trucks spin others will be able to tell when they are outside which truck it was that did what. THANKS To BOTH Zimmie's Automotive and Fluidampr for their help and expertise.
Jetpilot and his PDW warehouse were kept hopping all day long with many answers sought. Doug is a man of many hats and its looking like more and more his diesel work is overtaking his flying job. Its very evident to see to the owners he works hard at pleasing his customers and those potential cutomers. He often gets cornered and looks like he has his cell phone glued to his ear all the time trying to get things worked out for us. Thanks Doug,keep up the good work.
And how could we forget our resident cooks... . Chef Rams-N-Hogs & Chef Jengle. Without them showing all how to wheel our grill there would have been ALOT of hungry people. Their hard work was tested by the group when I inadvertently started the food line early by TRYING to SNEAK a couple of CTD8999's hot sausages(which I usually miss for one reason or another). I have been instructed that a heavy penalty would be assessed if I tried that agin next show. Jengle was the guy in the wrong place at the right time and ended up being volunteered by me to cook,a job he took too and did a fine job at. Thanks Guys!
ON EDIT... .
I forgot to mention that SP Diesel was also on hand helping their customers and those who sought their help. Sean and Brad work hard at their business and my forgetting them was a error on my part.
ALSO...
It was nice to see the Brotherhood Of OilBurners(Ford IDI Owners)club stop by and visit again(even though they didn't say Hi to me,LOL). I know they were seen wandering about and hope they enjoyed the show as we try and make all diesel owners welcome. Hopefully we will see them park out front and mingle with the other owners next time as I know there are just as many who would enjoy to see their rigs as they enjoyed our too.
