I don't think there were enough of us there to push it up on the dyno either.

22.) John Porterfield, Sr.(John_P)96' Dodge CTD----------------801/1496

I have got to be taken for a ride in that rather large rocket box,phew.

Uh Papa Smurf too many barley pops,surely you jest.

BTW....
To correct those here who may have had their visions sighlty clouded by John P's 12v when it dynoed,the ONLY 700+ hp Ford East of The Mighty Mississippi,that being Dockboy of course,is blowed into smithereens for the last time.Even he has confessed to buying a Common Rail Motor to be put into the frame rails of his Ford.So then you all were having heat flashes due to the bright sunlight I guess if you seen a big powered Ford.

Glad to see all who went had fun and congrats to all who dynoed for a great cause.....Andy

Andy:

Thanks for your nice comments buddy! You have my word that the next event we are together at I WILL take you for a ride in my 96'. I gave two rides at the Claremont Event (Rob Hughes and Chris Ambosini) and I think I "gave them their money's worth!"

You are right about Greg's (Dockboy) Truck too. And what is bad is it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I had the pleasure of meeting Greg at the Beech Bend Event and he is a great person. I know he will be happy once he gets that Cummins Engine in his Ford PSD.

It was definitely nice to see everyone again and relax for the weekend. All-in-all I think we all had a great time and I was pretty happy with the results. At least I did.
John, thanks for posting the results.

I didn't take very many pics as I was too busy shooting the bull with everyone.
Anyone with pics can upload them into the VADTR Chapter Gallery.

I've got some of the line up to get posted. On this dial up, I can take a nap between uploads so might do it at work next week.

Just added some more pics to the collection. Didn't get any on the dyno this year. Was too busy handing out free raffle stuff to Christina.

I finally got some pics up. Sorry, I didn't get that many. I was having such a good time, that I forgot my camera in the truck.

I'm sure that Stamey should have some good pics too. I think he shot a lot of video also.

We were too busy smelling the most pleasant exhaust aroma from the 100% bio-truck.
(Hmmmm, maybe that's the reason I didn't get any more pics)
