I would check what's going for meets on ABdiesel. Usually meets in the north (Edmon guys) and south (calgary guys) every sunday.

Hopefully this spring we can do a dyno event to baseline everyone's winter projects have fared. Last fall CWC dyno event was a big success, I even had the courage to run my 10 on the dyno last year.

Grand, where are you located? If you're in the southern end of the province we can hang out with a few AB dudes. They are better orgranized for GTG's. We can meet up there. We have a few decent parking lots for parking the rigs. and the timmies is nearby

Ya that was a while ago.. The Nose Dripping Diesel events have been few and far between.

I'm up for a chin wag, weekends are getting a little more free this year for a change.

The last time I was at a GTG was the last dyno day at McWynnes in Olds, a little to long I think. I've been out of it so so long the old timers are gray and have been replaced already with a younger set!

I need to put faces with names.

Jeff

Ya Rays shop had a few events for us. Since he got rid of the old smoker he's been busy with the magazine.

I talked with CCV a few months back and even though they don't have the dyno, they offered their lot any time for us to have a GTG.

Spring event? Even without the rollers is a good time. Some memories from Rays..
