St. Louis Area TD Get Together For June

[mopars1]

Hi all, I was just going to try and set something up for June 2nd. The dyno at Turbo Connection has an optical rpm pickup now and there are a few of us wanting to give it another try as some could not get rpm readings previously. So far there are 4 trucks wanting to go back. What do you say to meeting there around 9:00am or so and we can set up a grill there or go somewhere afterwards to eat. What are all of your thoughts on this? Chris W join in and let me know what you think. Nothing is set up at this point. just thinking of getting a good croud again and maybe some new people who want to test their truck's strength.

lets try to get a date set first, so i can let Jim @ turbo connection know our intensions.

he may have appointment already for that date.

I dont think I will go at it again, as i was one of the fortunate ones, that got HP and Ft-lbs. the first time.

 

[One Old Dog]

You did it again. You hit the same date that i have to go to Ok for the crappie tournament, thanks for letting me know and i will try to make it the next time Joe.

I'm okay with June 2.

Hey you guys! If you finalize the date for your meet, let me know. I know I'm from WV, but I bought a 35' 5th wheel camper that is in Ozark, MO. and I have to drive out and pick it up in the next couple of weeks. Maybe I could coordinate it so I would be going through St. Louis while you have your meet.

So is there going to be a big St Louis showing in Muncie? I hope so! Don't forget, June 9th, dyno, pulls, and drags. You can pay at the gates if you can't make the commitment until that weekend! All of the information is available at: http://www.gltdr.org/muncie01/june9.html

Edwardsville High School has it's commencement that day and I volunteered to work/walk graduating students at the ceremonies. There might be enough time to drop by before to stop by and stir the pot a little. Not that I would do that. SWW

Hi all, I got word that Don can't make it on June 2nd. What does everybody think about June 30th. It is a ways off but might work better for the majority. Stack'd, there are some of us coming to Muncie. See you there. Jstyer, it looks like we might have to push this too far off. I don't think you would want to wait that long before getting your new 5'ver. But if you are in no hurry, you are very welcome to stop by. Toss this around and let's see what we can come up with.

Big_DQ can, I repeat, CAN be there on the 2nd. I am ready. The Poor Old Worn Out Cummins Powered Ram is ready. In fact, the way it runs right now, I believe we may be close to what it was when I bought it #ad

After reading the posts on the Ford site,if the 30th works better for everyone else, I can be there on that day also. I just don't know if the Poor Old Worn Out Cummins Powered Ram, will still be running then.

OK, who is in for June 30th? I know it is hard to set a date so everyone can attend. Let's see if we can get 30 trucks to this one. The more trucks/people that come to the gatherings the more ideas we will get for future gatherings. The date is far off but time flies and I would like to get something set do the owner of Turbo Connection can be notified to see if the date works for him.
