Cool, I've got to look at the Sun schedule, but I should be there. It'll be easy to find John.

The ground and roads are wet and the sun is out right now (9:00am), but the local news is saying it will be raining by noon and on and off the rest of the day. However, it still is looking good for tomorrow.

 

Hey Augie,
You can read the info on Jeff's Dyno Day HERE

 

The rain didn't wait for noon,,,,,,,, it's coming down now.

 

Dennis:

Can you or Tim Barber keep us posted on the weather for tomorrow up there?
I have been watching the "Weather Channel" and our local weather and right now it is showing clouds and rain over Norfolk/ Richmond until early tomorrow.

Thanks.

Thanks Dennis, i'll check it out. I'm hoping to have the Dana 70 from my donor in my truck by then and maybe dyno.

 

Even though the rain washed out Saturday, a handful of members were able to cruise up to this event on Sunday. I arrived a little after noon to find John P, RATTLINRAM and MikeD all finishing their first time trials. I was a little too late to register. Lots of big rigs and show trucks of all sizes and makes. It's an awesome sight seeing something with ten-wheels or more that can outrun my STOCK truck and do a longer burn-out. Question for you Mr. P. What name does Steve go by on here? That was one of the cleanest best running trucks I've seen. A single 24V running 11.60's. That's a wow in my book. Some of us had to cut out early due to the time of our rides home and were unable to stay for the finals. I'm hoping that Dennis will chime in and give us those details. Otherwise the weather was perfect and my son and I couldn't have had a better time. Monster trucks, side-by-side jet car racing and all the chrome one could stand. Can't wait till next year.

Thanks again for the oppurtunity to be a member of such a great group of guys.

Steve goes by the User Name of "ctd89-99" here on DTR. I posted up in the COMPETITION Section on his win. And you are right, that truck of his runs GREAT! I sure didn't have anything for him last weekend. My ring and pinion are SHOT in the 96'! 300,000 hard miles will do that!!

I had a great time as well! It was good to meet Ryan and Steve and I've got to say,,,, that truck of Steve's is unbelievable. I stayed till the end and after getting run down by that red beast in the semi-final,,,,,, (I think he actually drug the brakes from the starting line so he wouldn't make me look too bad,,,) Steve won the SuperDuty class and then won the run-off with the winner of the RaceTruck class to take home the money and big trophy! He and his wife are really some nice folks.
All in all,,,,, I made out pretty good as the $50 check for coming in 3rd paid for my day with a little left over.

Now all you guys in the NC chapter need to do a fund raiser so John can replace his aging rear,,,,,, and Mike can get some new boots! Just kidding you guys,,,,

 

Boot are on the way!

 

I don't know if all of you know that a DTR member has won the ECTNs the last 3 years in a row- WAY TO GO

 

no...but i do now.....woooooooo hoooooooo!!!!!
