It looks like there are a lot of guys coming who are members of various chapters. If enough of you come who belong to a chapter together, I'd like to suggest having a little friendly competition between the organizations. Wouldn't it be cool for your club to have a club banner saying "We beat GLTDR at Muncie" (which aint gonna happen )?



To make it work, each club would enter (select) an equal number of trucks, hoping that the chosen trucks can out-do the trucks chosen to run for the competition . For the pulls, it would be total number of feet pulled - For the drags, it would be lowest total 1/4 mile times - For the dyno, it could be total horse power or total torque or a calculation of the two.



Maybe a pass around trophy would be best for this activity. The guys who don't win this time would try to take it from the "King of the Hill" next time.



What do you think?

Doc,



That sounds like a great idea!

Very interesting.



Are you talking one truck per event, or each truck must run all three?



Tell you what, GLTDR and Mason Dixon have some STRONG trucks.

Wunner if any of those other pansy groups have any power?





Maybe we could have an RV backing contest for the oldsters??



After all, old people towing RVs is what started TDR.

Maybe some of the oldsters can have a little show and tell of the tools and methods used to tune the 12 valves properly for the younger crowd. After all it was the oldsters who developed most of the worthwhile hop-up parts

Yes, I have heard Piers will be there, he is border line oldster, but I will let him sneak in.

Doc, any word on which camp ground most of the guys are staying at ? I was hoping to still get in one of the local camp grounds(forgot about reserving a spot ) .
