If the truck is still up and running i will be there!

[mech2161]

I had a great time there last year. Bring your winter coat.

[getblown5.9]

ive always wanted to go to one of these shows to see all the other stuff, hopefully i can make it.

[mech2161]

I'm glad they had the steam tractors last year. They were good for heat to keep warm at night.

[getblown5.9]

Cold dont bother a fat kid like me, hell I sit in the woods for hours on end in the cold waiting for deer.

Again the street/2.6 class and ruling baffle me?:bang

[mech2161]

LOL He should just make it stock charger.

[cummins724]

Dan is suppose to come to Mcconnellsburg Kevin. He wants to know who all will be there. Bringing this thread back for show of hands.

[globaltruck1]

I'll be there but done pulling for the year

[mech2161]

I should be ready. New tires are mounted and setting in the shop.

Tell him they will tech his truck.

[DISTURBED]

Me!

[blackbetty62]

i will be there just cause it is a good time, but dont expect much is right got 3rd in hot street at the fair there earlier this year and got $10.

[mech2161]

I talked to Brian Ross today and he said he'd be there.

[bigmotorsports1]

both of our trucks will be there

[bigmotorsports1]

hopefully it doesnt end at 3am this year

[cummins724]

I should be ready. New tires are mounted and setting in the shop.

I'm not telling him, just stand close when they raise the hood.:hehe: Do they run a open "anything goes" class? Only reason I told him about this pull is because he wants to pull against TJ. I set it up, but now TJ can't make it, Dan still might show though.

[cummins724]

Me!

Awesome!!!!! Lay it on him.:hehe:

[cummins724]

I talked to Brian Ross today and he said he'd be there.

Whats wrong with his truck? It was popping bad at fayette

[mech2161]

Yes the mod class is pretty much anything goes.

[mech2161]

He just got it back together. Probably still had air in the high pressure oil system.

[cummins724]

Yes the mod class is pretty much anything goes.

Well, you know where he will be running. Jeremy will put it on him. Whats that track like?

[cummins724]

He just got it back together. Probably still had air in the high pressure oil system.

Back together? Did it blow up?

[mech2161]

It's a good clay track. Last year it looked slick/greasy but the was some breakage.

[mech2161]

Had an exhaust seat drop out of the head.

[cummins724]

Well then, Dan should do very well there. His truck don't hook up unless it is a sticky track.
Had an exhaust seat drop out of the head.

Ouch. I hope he gets it dialed in. Good running truck when it runs right. Tempermental though.

[tank21pa]

Well i hope the weather people make their mind up soon!!! Monday morning it was 60% chance of rain, now it is down to 20%... I sure hope the weather holds out!!

[nwpadmax]

I had a great time there last year, looks like this year will be about as cold. After I pulled, we went up and hung out near the steam engines to keep warm. Orlo pulls way too many lame classes, especially gassers. There was some real junk there (like 100' pulls) and they took seemingly forever to get done.

I won Hot Street, but all I got was a trophy. It was fun though, lots of trucks show up there.

[cummins724]

Me!

You definately coming? Dan said that he is coming if he is sure that you are gonna be there. He don't want to be stuck pulling against street trucks. Anyone else gonna show for the open class?

[700rmk]

how late can i show up and pull in the mod class????

[mech2161]

It starts at seven. I'd say if you call and let them know your coming he'd probably let you in.

[DISTURBED]

Yes, i will be there and Lamar from East Coast Diesel said he was going to try and make it, Andrew Stevens. There is never a shortage of good trucks

[cummins724]

Awesome! :evil

[cummins724]

Orlo will pretty much let you in any time..as long as the class isn't over. He is very cool about his pulls.

[cjreckart]

[cummins724]

:umno:

[mech2161]

Hot Street Char, you'll not get in Street.

[tank21pa]

Why couldnt he get in street? He meets the rules.. Stock manifold 2.6. bars aloud.

[mech2161]

Stock exhaust and intake.

[blackBullet]

do they have a 2.8 class or 3.0? or is it just alll modified run and if run modifed why would they tech your truck? i never saw a modided class get tech? whose this dan is it the red dodge and why does it seem u guys r against him???

[mech2161]

They have a 2.8 hot street class. The teching was about the red Dodge. Were not against him at all. He will not pull where he has to be teched.

[cummins724]

whose this dan is it the red dodge and why does it seem u guys r against him???

Not sure how you got that?

[blackBullet]

ok so they do gotta 2.8 class does a 3.0 bushed make it in that class and maybe that red dodge just dont like people seeing wat he got? and it blew oil all over end track at avella and shut off? like what could be done to it to even hide?

[blackBullet]

if he runs open all the time why would they tech open class? thats like teching a rwyb truck not sticking up for the guy saying is he going tomorrow??

[globaltruck1]

I'm gonna guess you guys won't have to worry about teching. Weather doesn't look good at all to me!

[tank21pa]

I talked to orlo this morning. They are not calling it until after lunch tom..

[globaltruck1]

Yea just not a good outlook! this weather around here is F ing crazy!
