It's a nice place, and it's right on I35w south of Alavarado about a mile. And he will let people play paint-ball for like $15 and supply the gear. We are going to try to get somethin worked out by Feb...what do ya think???
Bryan, and evryone else.

Well said.
Actually though, I (we) are trying to get it so that you guys are running for TTTPA points (which don't actually exist for this year but should for the 08 season) and money. We really want to have a following of the diesel pickups. I think that can be very beneficial to those pullers. For that class to do well and get the recognition it is due, the pullers may have to make some changes, as will the association. It's a work in progress and will take lots of imput.
Promoters will be able to run whatever they want after the main show is over if they choose to do so. With a sanctioning organization behind them, the diesel pickup pullers will have a known set of rules, a good track and purse... Weekend weekout. And many other bene's. It will just take some time...

well I now plan to have a NV4500 and a south bend DD ready for next year if all goes well. get a few drive line loops and U-joint covers and should be ready to pull. I also have a set of axles ( dana 60f and dana 70-U) with 4.10's in them and laso a dana 80 with 4.10's that may go in. With some set rules I should be able to get the truck set up to be all legal, unless the rules change. Did they have the Deleon pull at the new place? was it nice?

Oh yeah. Everything went good other than for our little 20 mile deture. I think alot of people got a kick out of us trying to put two truck on a 32ft trailer. When everyone started say there was no way it was going to happen i was determined to get them on there. Just me being hard headed. Oh well. Did you make it with Lynn ok???

I tore into mine this afternoon. And to my suprise i only broke the driverside axle. But there might be more i dont know.

Did you find your boost leak????

Lynn with the white dodge, Justin (me) with the gold 2nd gen, and cody griffith with the blue 1st gen. Then i think buck had problems with his green truck and boost issues.

Sorry... Now I know who everyone is.. haha... We talked at the DeLeon pull.. and Stephenville pull....
Is Cody going to be ready for Houston?? We're going to leave the 1st Gen at home, because we don't fit the rules.. We are planning to make 1 more hook on the 20th in Valley Mills... Unless there is another pull??
Are you going to Houston??? is the truck going to make it??

Well after this weekend me and cody both decided to call houston off. He got his drive line loops on friday. Then he broke a drive shaft. He still needs the air shut off, 3 way fuel shut off, and a helmet. I broke the axle in my 02 and i might end up taking in to houston. We are still going. Just not with the 1st gen.

What ended up being the deal with the oil leak at stephneville???

If you remember my pump on my 02 was going out well i should have a HRVP on monday or tuesday. So if i can get the pump on, a axle which i will probly rob off the 94 i bought with the raymac motor in it, and some traction bars i will take the 02.
