Pretty big event, although it seems to have more following over on CompD that it does here. But it should be a pretty good collection of diesel power on the track, sled and dyno.

Is anybody planning on any wrenching at this meet?
I plan to install a Hellwig Rear Sway Bar and a set of PacBrake Air Bags.
Im also considering bringing the toyhauler if Charlie don't mind. And maybe some hamburgers.

If anything, I may finally put on my 3rd gen sway bar and conversion bracket from Mike. Possibly an oil change and FF change. Just depends...
It will be 8:30 or later before I get there on Friday. My flight doesn't land at DFW till 6:15pm.

Tylers coming late Friday, as of this am. He said Schoolbus is coming too for a yellow CTD challange.... unsettled business from Buda!
I'll be there before sunset on Friday. Probably mid afternoon.
Got an APPS sensor to change (not whole assembly) and could do an oil/filter change and grease!
Still have my weatherstripping to do on left door. I better plan on doing that too since box is falling apart. Had it for 6 months
Crobtex - What can we bring for Supper.... or want to do pizza?

I think so. It's not a "set" thing. Every time is different and has it's own personality because some guys can't show up........or can't show up till later due to work or other obligations.
So just plan to come and stay as much as you can. I hope to come Friday afternoon and maybe set up the trailer and get set up to install the Sway bar and Air bags. If I get done with it great....if not..no biggie.
Im sure we will have a big campfire and no doubt something for dinner. The races on Sat are supposed to kick off at noonish and end at 5:30pm. So then we can come back to the ranch and continue the wrenching, or supervising the wrenching, drinking a brew or two or three
into the wee hours...

ODRA Website says gates open at noon and Diesel trucks run till 5:30 pm!

From my experience that means we may not actually start racing till 2:00
Maybe! What I said was my best 1/8 mile time would have won it all.
Not many fast trucks there that night. I suspect this yr will be different.
If I can find some 265's to race on... I'll run. Actually, 245's would be better. I have wheels but no tires. Don't feel up to buying a set just for Redline!
