MSDTR Chapter #31 Roundtable Discussion

Well, only 4 people showed up to our meet-n-greet today, but I do have to say they were all to quality men. It was me, Steven B., DmaxEter, and NeedaRam. We are off to a slow, but good start. Like we tlked about in the meeting today guys, this will be our capter's "unofficial thread". Of course anyone is welcome to post, but there will be no flame wars started here. Any and all topics can be talked about. If anyone outside our chapter who wants to keep up with what we are doing and planning, this is where they need to be directed to. So post up.

I had a wonderful time just sitting around shooting the breeze with everybody. I thought it was a good start. Those coil spacers I picked up today turned out nice. Made the truck look a lot better sitting level. And the emloyee price was great to. Big thanks to Four Wheel Parts for letting us in and taking care of us today.

I know we said something about a meet in April, but no date and place were set. Do you know when you want to do this Streetsmoker? Maybe it wont fall during that whole wedding and hineymoon thing I got planned

Anyway, I had a great time and look forward to seeing all of you again soon.
Oh yea Streetsmoker. I was talking to my brother in law tonight and he said he found a yellow flyer on his windshield the other day about some meet for diesel trucks. I asked him why he didnt show up. Said he had to work or something lame like that. what a small world.

It's a little soon to get a date or anything set for April right now. I'm hoping that Mid South Diesel will be able to host a dyno day/meet-n-greet by then. If not, I'm thinking somewhere in Jackson, Tn would be a good place. If we have it there, guys from the Nashville area might show up.

A dyno day at mid south diesel would be awesome, we need to get to work on that. I had a good time hanging out with you fellas and it's always good to meet new people with some knowledge. I'll be lurking around, just let me know whats going on.

Hey rad, you will notice that our new thread is somewhat similiar to a certin "other" clubs discussion thread . Yea, I've been over to the MidTNTDR thread, and really liked the format they use and I'm trying to emulate it here. So spread the word for us over there.

I can't post there, just a visitor, but I have a friend who owns a Dodge/Cummins and, are you ready, love the suspense, a SPEED SHOP, Rocco and Cheeters, here in B'ham. Don't you just love those four words and how well they fit together, Dodge, Cummins, Speed shop.

Hi guys.

It was fun to meet at 4 Wheel Parts, and the discount was nice, as was the food and drink. Thanks to Elliot and crew for hosting us. They have a good looking, well stocked store, with friendly folks working there. I appreciate the helpful tech info/advice on the lighting.

As for Chapter 31, we need more members - the more, the merrier, as they say. John, you are off to a great start. Your enthusiasm will provide the numbers needed. Lets all "talk it up" with folks that we meet.

Mid-South can host a "meet and greet" or a dyno session. We just have to work out a time with Sam Rivera, our General Manager.

You three guys....your trucks are sharp!

See you at the next one!

Steven

Well, I'm over here in Hot Springs, AR and I was able to sign up 2 guys while standing in the parking lot at Superlift ORV Park unloading my Cherokee. I don't know if they will get on the site, but hopefully they will. Believe me this chapter is going to grow like gangbusters once the word gets around. Just wait till we get some members into power wars between each other. If you would guys, edit you signatures to reflect you membership in the chapter. That way it'll be like our own little posse running around here drumming up support with every post and thread.

I got the sig changed for you streetsmoker. I told a guy with a 3rd gen today about the site and chapter 31, he said he would check it out. I really should get some fliers or something from you to give to people. I'll check back in later.

Thanks guys. Hey Brad, you can get up with Patrick(DmaxEter). It would be easier to get some from him. He doesn't know it yet but I appointed him as Vice Pres. I gave him some flyers that were for the meeting and he said that he was going to edit them around and pass them out.



On a side note, I was driving around today, and what looked like a snobby rich kid was following behind me in a late model TA Ram Air. I guess he thought I wasn't driving fast enough and proceeded to blow by me on the left double line coming up an on ramp. The kid must have figured I was some farmer Fred puttin around. I turned the Juice up to 5 and let him get right to the door before laying the "Hammer of Thor down to the floor" . Poor guy didn't know what hit him . He must have got Edit, cause after I left his Edit he tried it again with the same result. Needless to say he got the hint and backed way off. Too bad he wasn't on the right side cause then I could have "SMOKED" him properley. Oh well, guess I need duals now.

Street, I wish I was there to see the look on his face. I'll try to get with patrick and see if he's got the fliers ready. Nice job showing the ram air who's the king of the road. later
