I'm a comin! I'll be bringing Hedge with me, just in case.
I'll be there around 9:30.
I got a whole bunch of non-diesel guys coming too, and then some PS owners who I dared to come.

Just ordered my tranny parts from DTT. I saw the price tag and I was until I thought more about what I will be able to do once the tranny's done, and now it is !

Arrow I had two choices,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Been workin 16 hour days this week and I won't get off of work until 0800 Saturday morning. I was going to try to make it,,,, but we made a last minute decision to take the 5er up to the mountains and chill out with my Dad & Mom since they were taking their 5er out for the last time this year. I don't get much time to spend with my folks and a week up in the mountains sounded like a great idea to the wife as well. SO,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I'm gonna be busy getting the 5er ready after I take a much needed little nap Sat morning. You guys have a good time and don't break nothing big. Make sure to take lots of pics.
I do plan on making the dyno and drags down in NC in December, so keep an eye on that thread for updates! See thread here

I am heading up there this morning.

There is also a National Mud Racing event going on there today. The mud pit is down the dirt road toward the Motocross track. We will be bouncing back a forth between the two tracks.

If you missed this you didn't miss much. I was the only Dodge to run. There were a couple of Powerjokes and Durajunks also. They didn't have much. The rest were a few big rigs and 2 dump trucks. Most of what was there were the regular bracket racers with gassers.
I only ran Test and Tune. I found out what I needed to know about my truck and know what I need to do over the winter. I was only in the 14's but still faster than the other 2 brands out there.

I look forward to MIR in the Spring.

I agree Chris...It was not worth the drive. The mud bog was just as bad.

You could either watch a dumptruck running a 18sec 1/4 mile or see a modified truck on 36s get about 10 1/2 ft in a mud pit. I wish I would have stayed home and remowed the yard.

Chris,
It's too bad you don't know what kind of show you'll see until you get there. I did see at least 2 other diesel Rams there that I didn't recognize, but they were spectating, not racing.
The show at MIR in April is always a good one (at least the last 2 years it was). Lots of Rams there. You should plan on trying to make that one. You and Dennis can probably hook up at the same camp ground he went to this past April.
