Well apparently the Abbotsford BD Diesel Performance Truckin [sic] Nationals will be held May 8th & 9th, maybe keep that clear JIC anyone is going.

So Martin never called me, lol.

I still like the GTG at Kevins idea - but any other suggestions.

If we have a northern gtg its gotta be in march, since I'm in school for the next two months, and EI barely covers the bills, so no real extra money for driving all over the province at the moment, haha.

Daniella, I might go to the BD dyno day. BD usually red flags me for something. This time I will keep the hood closed.

I have received nothing from Martin yet.

Yeah! I'd like to go this year too, not to dyno but to check it out. So what did you do last time, parts flying around helter-skelter or something??

I really dislike the BD dyno, the knurling on the dyno has long since worn off, and if you are over 500whp, there is a good chance you will just smoke the tires. If you are over that, bring DR's and lots of weight in the box.

Oh I read a rumor somewhere that the big HP trucks were not planning to show this year, maybe that's why??

Most big power trucks just smoke the roller. Its kinda hit or miss. Some guys can hook-up, some can't. Most guys running drugs, have the most traction issues. At my power level, there should be no issues. I just want to see some early spring and its usually a nice trip. Some cool diesel heads there at the show. No shortage of truck talk thats for sure.

I usually stay for a few hours and take off to find a club to hang out for the rest of the weekend and be an idiot. I'll be making it a week long trip.Lots of stuff to do out there.
