I know you didn't take that pic. Like the shinny spot on the back of my head.

Your going to vote in the poll?
Charlie will probably decide if/when he gets back from Kansas! But it's looking like Labor Day. That's what Tyler is planning on!

What time did the trucks start pulling at DeLeon? Very Late...as usual?

And then at 3:30 they said that they weren't going to keep everybody waiting while they fixed the sled after every pull that they rolled in for the diesels. Had a rear end come undone on a 95 or 96 Dodge, they had to pick up the back end and drag it out. On Friday night had a single cab Duramax try pulling and he let off and hit it again, started bouncing and broke his receiver hitch. He pulled again last night, he made sure he didn't hit it and make it bounce, but he did kill the engine once. And then all he could see was the stars since the sled had his back end on the bump stops.

Thought I would let you guys know that there will be a DRV dyno day at Conleys Performance Plus 4829 FM 1960 in Humble, TX 77338 on August 25. I got an email and a letter about it and beleive it will be a big turnout. If you cant dyno or dont want to I think it would still be coll to come and chill with everybody.

OK folks, I'm closing the poll early. Labor Day weekend it will be. I will be at The Ranch on Thursday afternoon or Friday noon.

So far I know of the following projects:
CR:
* Change tranny fluid.
* Install converter in the new camper. I'm sure I'll get plenty of help from the guys that usually sleep in there.
* Might install a radio and Sirrius in he camper.
Rob:
* Install FASS HPFP

Let me know of any others............

We'll discuss food as the date gets closer.

I've got a DEI 561R Remote Start/Turbo Timer that I might need help with... if my electrician/neighbor isn't available before then!
It's either this very hot weather or (I suspect) the Mach 6's, that don't cool down as quickly as I'm use to. Having to sit and wait a lot more than in the past.

That 561R is not user install friendly. LOTS of wire taps and relays needed. I have them install mine when I bought it.

I don't think it will be a problem. Tyler has two spools of red wire, and he loves to hang it everywhere. Should look good under RJ's dash.
