It'll be at the Wabash Valley Fairgrounds, It's right off US 41 just a few miles south of I-70. i use to drive that road all the time for 2 yrs going from Valparaiso to Vincennes IN. As far as i know that's where they've always held it too. I'm gonna be there on sunday and if possible (if the girlfriend lets my leash go a little) i'll be there saturday too! As you guys travel In to Terre Haute on US 41 watch out for cops, they love to sit on 41 between Vincennes and Terre haute, and they love to sit north of town a little ways.

Hello all
Jared
Looking forward to seeing you as well. I am sure your truck will be all shined up, their is only one other person that I know that has a daily driver that is kept as clean as yours. That would be Mr Clean John_P.

Johnner and I will be departing at noon from here and we should get way up north in the early hours of the 26th.

Do you think I need to bring a SNOW SHOVEL

I will be bringing a jacket, if I remember correctly it got chilly in the evening at the tractor pull.

Take care and safe traveling.
See Ya
Chris

Snow!!!!!!!!!!! I am saying prayers for sunny and 80 degrees for the entire event. I thought I was going to melt last year.

Thanks for the clean compliment. In order for it to be clean this year I better start soon. I have waterd all my crops and its muddy on the farm right now. You can't tell what color my truck is inside, and out.

Hm... I may need to make a JOEFARMER shirt to ID myself since I sold the green monster. I think we're staying at Holiday Inn, but I didn't make the reservations so I dunno. I'll be arriving in a 03 crew cab dually like Hired Gun's, but it's black and has a "Cummins Recovery Unit" sticker on the back glass. Holler if you see me...

Brandon...just post your picture, NOBODY can forget that face...kinda like mine!

I'm still not sure if I'l be able to make it, but if I do you'll be the first to know.

I'd really like to add the little fuel I've got left outta this 175 pump and see what she'll do. That's before I drop the real goodies into the mix

If I'm out there it'll be Saturday...I might just have to ask for a half day off to get out there early enough for the dyno. Will they be really crowded??

Chris
