I got a buddy who may want to dyno his oldsmobile........and if he does, I'll warn ya...it's loud and will hold the top hp for the day. Engine dynoed 1150 hp & 942 ft lbs on a regular engine dyno. He's done some mods since then tho.

Think they'd let him play ??

Hello
We plan on being there and we will dyno if need be to make the numbers.

I would not miss this event if possible, great folks and a laid back place.

I am in the middle of moving to Fl. but I (WILL BE HERE) and hopefully Leigh Ann will be here.
Geoffrey is planning on upgrades to his truck, so who knows?
30 June I am writing it on the calender

I have been out of the loop some what, has anyone made up a list of who is camping?
Count us in as campers and a dyno maybe.
Fellow campers are we looking at making a group meal or everyone doing there own thing?

Thanks Joel for getting this event going.
See Ya
Chris

$75.00 3 pulls cash only. it will read 1200 hp/1200 tq or 1500/2000 if we get the new software figured out.

Dieseldude4X4,
Don't put that scooter on the rollers. It will cause more spending, I put my Road King on a dyno in november and it cost me a set of twins and mach 4's for my truck , but she will really scccooooooootttt now.

Joel any idea how many trucks have signed up? Shoot me a pm to let me know. We can work out some things about locking in the dyno and working out details about food and prizes etc. Tim

It is that weekend?? Darn, I might be able to wiggle something, but....

I didn't post this as a "Thread" anywhere, but a bunch of the NC guys know.

My Mom passed away on April 17th, She was in very good health and only 56 years old. This was totally unexpected and blindsided all of us. So I have been away from my real job and RPM for over two weeks. I have been with my Dad in Alabama and then with the whole family back up in NY. Very exhausting and emotional. Anyways, Dad has taken this VERY,VERY hard. Mom and Dad have been married together since they were 17 and 18, this August would have been their 40th wedding anniversary. While the whole clan was together we decided to to "promise" to get together on every Thanksgiving as we have been doing for years, and on the 4th. Normally this would not present a problem for me to come to the GTG with you guys----but---I burned a whole bunch of time off while I was with my Dad. So If I can sneak part of a day in with you guys and then continue on the Ct. where the family will be I might be able to stop by!!

Put me in as an iffy.....I'm checking with some friends of mine who may want to dyno their rigs to try and drum up some more vehicles, but I'm not even sure I will be able to make it right now.


27 people to make it doable....that's a lot of trucks.......might be hard to squeeze out.
