Alot is going on with the smokers, I think things are only going to get better in the state of MO thanks to them.
Yeah I heard Southern Missouri is going to have them.

That was the average load. Bales were a little heavier some loads and I added a few some times for the customer. 42k was the heaviest. My brother actually scaled 49k but went back and unloaded some.

What's that hp level I need to be looking for?
Anyone got a set of 3/4ton take off tires and rims?

Where?? right here in Ole Houston/Raymondville.
This year should be great I'm tryin to git the dyno down from Floor It and there will be all kinds of classes hopefuly some tractors too.
I'm thinking about havin after the pull, Back to Back pulls and some dirt drags hope all of you guys can make it or at least some of you.
It would also be a great G2G for the chapter,( PistolWhipt help me out here) I know the dyno is a plus for that.
Lets here It
Is it still the 24th? Just wondering cause that is going to be a heavy hitting time with Indy the weekend afterwards. Plus there is another large pull the weekend after. Just figured I would update this post since you guys were talking about Indy.

Yes its a done deal the 24th of May we will have a truck pull,.
Shaker I know this is a hot time but the way I see it , this will be a good time to get those trucks out of the shop and do some test and tuning. Plus looks like Show- me Smokers will have this pull just need that last nail drove. Is it risky? yes it is!! Do we love pressure? yes we do!! Do we love to pull, Hell yeah!!! Its ok Trucks will show and It will all be good

I saw one thread where a guy booked a room when he left Indy last year and they told him they didn't have enough rooms for him to stay there recently. I'm guessing you might have to stay a few miles out to find a room or just take a sleeping bag and use the 8ft bed that will be with you.

I was told the same, did the same thing, but I'm getting a room now. I'm staying the 30 and 31 and leaving the first. Most will be traveling up the afternoon of the 30.

I got one of those notices but have found a few ways around it.

You need a co driver, I think I'll go just because I want to. I wouldn't expect you to find a room for me. I know how to sleep in a truck. Last time I went with Luken and paid half the fuel cost.

We will see. If I have no little lady you got shotgun no problem. I'm getting a double bed hotel room so you got a bed if you need it at the moment. or we could get a cot to the room as well. Eitehr way, we cna find a place for ya to sleep. That wouldnt be a problem.

I got heck from Corey and Matt for having a litle lady over last night... I haven't had a drink in over a week and they are busting on me for having a little lady over..... I can't win!

But sure, if you want to choose, or find me more, go nutz. I'm coming over to Nixa at some point in the next few days to look at a new piston. I'll give you a call.
