Pack, I thought this was a MO thread after reading all 5 pages and finally catching up on whats going on down here Just kidding pack. Is there anything other than Oak Grove tonight? I'd love to go but I really don't want to head up that way as I know pretty much no one out here yet other than Matt and Mike. Is there something going on in branson tonight?

 

oak grove is the only thing i know of goin on tonight. i doubt i'll go, it's a little farther than i want to travel. you should come down saturday the 25th though and join us. there's always a good turn out of diesel trucks.

 

I think I just might have to do that. You should be gettin some rain today its has been on and off here in springfield all day, tv and internet was jsut down for about an hr. How far away from Springfield are the pulls. I know harrison is right down and off 65. Just gettin an idea.

 

it takes approx 1hr and 15minutes to get here depending on your driving habits. if you was to come from republic it would actually be shorter for you to go towards kimberling city and turn left in branson west and head towards the dam and go that way. time wise hwy 65. it's south of harrison on 7south 24 miles to the fairgrounds from town.

 

Hmmmm, depending on what happens this week I would definately be interested. I got to run over to Joplin and pick up some part for my exhuast and if I can get the stacks on this week and maybe my injectors in I just might come. Right now I'm out of the tubing running from the wastegate to the compressor housing so I got to find that somewhere out here and if thats the case I will put the 40 on, stacks on, and maybe injectors and tubes. Hopefully it will hold as I prolly won't have time to install the head studs this week with all the things running. If anyone knows where I can get the wastegate tubing around here let me know asap.

 

I wish I had known about Oak Grove before today. You guy have got to keep us updated on all the pulls in the area.
Where and what is going on the 25th?
I was actually thinking of going to Terre Haute, Indiana for the Schieds Extravaganza the 24,5,6th.
Is there anything going on the 1st/8th/15th of September?

 

I know oak grove was supposed to have a pull last night but it rained in the middle of the state alot the past couple days, wasn't sure if they cancalled it or not. I was thinking about heading to Schied but I'm not sure if its going to be in my price range. As I told Matt the other night i just moved into my new place and money is tight at the moment, especially with some of the classes I'm taking the Tree I think I might head down to AR with Pack and maybe see whats going on down in his neck of the woods next weekend for a day. Let me know if you want to tag along.

 

I might go to AR if I know what is going on. Pack what's up in AR and where is it? If it's at Harrison that's about 100mi if it's south or there I think I'd rather drive the extra miles to Terre Haute. I know only 600 or so extra but look at the number of trucks that will be there.

 

it's 20 miles south of harrison a truck pull they are having. it'll be the marshfield association puttin it on. mapquest newton county fairgrounds in jasper arkansas and that'll tell you exactly how many miles

 

How many trucks, diesels that is, normally show up? What time do the diesels pull? Is it one of those deisels are last at about 12 or 1am? I know where Jasper is I used to live in Dogpatch. The fair grounds are on the hill just past Jasper if I remember correctly. Looks like the weather might mess up the Schieds pull. I'll probably be down there, not pulling just enjoying the show. Ok Ground Shaker if you want to tag along that would be ok. I know the roads and the location so try to keep up. Just kiding I'm not raceing either. Send me a PM if you want to get together.

 

dogpatch ya say, that's about 5 minutes from my house. anywho the pull starts at 6pm and no tellin what time it'll end. for those of you that have radio's in your trucks we're always monitoring channel 19. wonder why no one else i chiming in.

i forgot to mention, if everything goes as planned friday night there will be a few of us from down here up at rogersville horsin around. i'm hoping to have my rear main fixed by then. it's leakin a little.

 

Guess that means I got to get the CB back in the truck.

 

I got rid of the CB stuff a long time ago. Oh I just remembered I've still got my old hand held CB. Looks like a 2way radio like they used in WWII. I suppose it might do the job in a pinch. Most of the time I just use the 2way radio when I'm traveling with someone. So Shaker are you in on the trip down together or what? If you'll PM me we can swap ph# so we can contact each other.

 

Hey pack you say the Marshfield association is pulling down there? We can't get them to have a diesel class up here. All they care about are them dumb 2 wheel drive wheelie poppers.

 

i'm pretty sure it's marshfield. but we started 3 years ago having at all the local pulls a diesel class and have had them ever since. i'm sure they would have one if they had enough people intrested in it.
