Thanks Top but I don't think we will be needing one, unless the Bratmaster is coming down then we may need more than a Firemans hat.
We may have to have the whole fire dept on stand by.
Take care
Wish the very best for you and yours.
See Ya
Chris

This takes care of the dyno day trophies. They will be ready for pick up on the 3 of Dec.

Hello
Tim I am hoping that next weekend will be like this one was.
Today I was working in the yard with a tee shirt and jeans. they are calling for rain tonight, we'll see.
I hope to pull out some bushes tomarrow if the super M won't do it then I will use my truck and BLOW some smoke and get them out one way or another.
Looking forward to talking to you about BOMBing a transmission in a 3rd gen. I want to beef up the trans. in Leigh Ann's 3500 so I can add some more HP/Torq. Looking for another 100/or so Hp and as much Torque as I can get. I want to get the 04 to pull like my 01 does. Once I get the 04 to pull like my 01 then I can start getting crazy with my 01
See Ya
Chris

Jess:

Thanks for your help on the trophies! Chris Dubie and
myself have taken care of the ones for the dyno event.
I will get up to the trophy shop on Monday and have the
ones made up for the drag race event using your friend
as the sponsor for that.

weather update

According to the Weather Channel (which is ALWAYS right ) it is supposed to rain Wednesday, be clear Thursday through Saturday, and cloudy on Sunday. 10% chance of rain on Saturday, 30% on Sunday. NOAA is showing 0% Thursday through Saturday, 10% Saturday night, 14% on Sunday, and 30% Sunday night. Temps are looking to be in the upper 50s - Lower 60s and Lows in the upper 30s. As long as the rain holds off the track should be open Sunday for regular Test & Tune.

John

Hey Tim,

Yeah, Hooters is still the plan for Friday night. Give me a holler and we'll meet up with you at the hotel and cruise on over.

I will have a sign up sheet if it is OK with you guys. It will be on the bench, when you get here sign in and that's how you will be run. It seems to go better when I do it that way.
I have the WinPep 7 software up and running{I think} so we'll be able to see all the way to 1500 hp and tq. now. I do want to try 1 truck both ways to see if there is a difference in the power that is shown.
See you all soon.

John I will call from the hotel, probably at Holiday Inn but have not decided yet. Wayne I will get there early to sign up but would like to dyno in the middle of the day when it is warmest if possible. I am gonna be pushing a lot of fuel hope you have better ventilation. I have a video last year of everyone bailing out of your shop and that was just with mach 5s. Tim

Hello
I forced myself to go to HOOTERS tonight for dinner I talked to the young lady who brought out the wings and asked when do they start getting busy on a Friday night. She replied that 6:45/7:15 anytime after that you may have a wait.
If we meet at Hooters at say 6:00/6:30 is that time good for everyone.
I have to get off the computer Geoffrey has Home work to get done. It's due tomarrow, imagine that
See Ya in a few days
Chris

That's fine Tim, you just need to sign abour half way down.
The ventilation is the same as last year, doors open. I may try to have fans at the back to pull the soot out instead of trying to push it.
How do the other shops deal with the smoke???
