February Stephenville Meet

I WILL be at this one lol.

February 22--dyno at Hotstreet in Burleson. Lots of #8 and many others will be there. I will. Intercooler should be in by next weekend for me.

February 23--truck pull at Alvarado, the Diamond W arena.

Also, I will be going to the 1/8mile in Kennedale on one of the dates after they open back up. They are reopening on Feb.20 after repaving. Im thinking since the Feb 21 street legal will be their first day open itll be packed, so Im gonna go on Feb 28th and run the Dodge.

With all this going on, I dont see a need for a local meet unless yall do....other than getting together with Dawson to swap out his housing.

I'm still kicking over here. I think I'm in for the pull in Alvarado on the 23rd. We don't really need a local meet unless we want to have one and swap out the housing then.

I'm going to try to dyno on Friday night and watch the pulls on Saturday, but I'll have to be back at the casa by 8pm on Sat, I don't feel like getting home late and then waking up at 3am.
Thanks for getting things going Randy, this is why we have you.

Yeah, I'm totally in for the 23rd and might swing by to see ya'll at HotStreet....since my house is about 5 minutes from there. I pass is all the time. Anyway that's what's up.

Matt, you gonna drive home after the dyno and then make the trip back on Sat.? Or you got a place to stay? I might be able to fix it here if you're up for staying the night? I need to see first, not sure yet.

Jason, I hauled a new John Deere out of Bramlett the other day and saw that new D-max and the nice trailer it was hooked up to, it looked like ya'll had a charger on those trailer batteries.



EVERYONE! -

My truck is officially for sale, you can view all the pics and some details on AutoTrader.com It's got about 116k miles on it, an 01, most everything that's in my sig. has 5 gauges installed as well, headache rack, tool box.....I'm gettin rid of it all, except the stack lol. I'm asking $17,750 for it. Please go tell whoever you know and take a look at it on there, it's real nice ya'll!!! Thanks!!!

I'll be gettin a 3rd gen once it's sold...hopefully not too long, at least that's what I'm prayin!

I looked at the website and it says it's an all day event, but then it says it starts at 5??? What's up with that? What's there to do all day? And just the pulls start at 5 or what?? Thanks!

Hey Jason.....I can e-mail you some, or just get on autotrader.com and find it.....run the search price between $16k and $18k and in the zip code of 76140. I'll call you about it later or tomorrow.

Ok I need some help.

I'm trying to figure out how much weight when my trailer is loaded is on the truck gooseneck hitch. I know there's an equation for it but I can't remember. Loaded and all the trailer totals on average about....29k# Someone told me it 20% of the weight. But I could swear I did it a different way before and it wasn't that much at all. That would put me at......5800# Which is way too much, but I see guys doing it day in and day out with the same type of truck and even more weight than that.

What's the equation to figure that out?????
Thanks
