Actually, we are doing big switch in September. I tried to go to the Day shift, but the best I could pull was MT or TF off.

So I had to stay on evenings...and I took FS off by choice. (currently have SS) IM tired of burning vacation time every DTR meet. Plus I can get my son direct from school on Fridays instead of waiting till late Frid to pick him up. The down side is I will be cussing every Sunday afternoon while driving in to work!!

This chili sounds like its one of a kind... Are you guys going to be having grills out there? If so do you want me to bring some burgers or anything. I already got the cooler and chairs thing down but just other ideas.

Here is a pic of the RV. Weekend Warrior FS2600. There will be a short bald guy in a black 3rd gen truck setting it up....and a tall (about 6'9) guy with a goldish colored 2nd gen supervising.

Got the new master and slave installed... Almost hated that job more than the clutch itself!! Note to Peter... Ya its a simple job, but include some instructions....

New setup is much larger than stock and has braided ss lines... Looks to be a good piece, we will see if it drives better (Mainly letting me in gear from a stop easier...)

SS Lines:


Stock vs. Upgraded Slave:

For no instructions, you got it done pretty quick.

Buck,
The dyno was not your fault and we all know you did everything you could to get one there. We'll be there anyway.

I'll not be there until Saturday morning, but some of the guys will be there Friday. I'm not sure what time Robert will get the trailer there, but I'm sure they will all chime in with the info.

Buck, I called Bobby Ezell a couple of weeks or so ago. He told me at that time there was no problem on bringing in the RV on Friday evening.

I expect to be there around 6pm or so. Me, my son, Rowland, Brian, Mike and his son for sure on Friday...and Charlie on Saturday. Looks like BigRedBCS is joining us too...and he is more than welcome.
