[Jim Fulmer]

Looking forward to it Bobby, I'll try and makes sure everything works this time, had a broken wire on the Water/Meth system Saturday.......it never activated....there's an 890 for you!

Also found another solenoid yesterday that looks like a fuel pump, I think I can lean it out a little with that! Got to see a Vid of my runs......still fuel to burn.

Sure wish I had a tow truck now!

Jim

[RCCX]

I plan on trying to make this event,I am going to see if I can get a few of the other Relentless Diesel trucks to make the trip with me.

[5EDIESEL]

Do to insurance the 1/16 mile dirt drags will have to droped from the event. Sorry to the people that were looking forward to this part of the event.

[stump0331]

[JDGnut]

Who's sled are you going to be using?? And any rules?? At least weight and hitch height???
Going to be a good event....
Bryan

[gunracer1]

i haven't seen what bobby is putting up for rules.

[Jim Fulmer]

I'm working on a tow rig and trailer so I can bring the truck to an event and not sweat breaking something, then maybe I can lean on it a bit!

Jim

[HT3500]

hey fellas got a real big problem, I just found out that the guy that was supplying the dyno for the event just sold it this past weekend, so this puts us in a real bind. So I really need help finding another portable dyno for the show please post contacts or PM me...thanks Buck.

[B.A.Ram]

well I guess that means my questions about do we need to sign up to dyno isn't valid until you guys find another....:huh::

[Jim Fulmer]

What really sucks is that Bobby and Buck started this deal a long time ago and contacted me specifically about it! Even though I had just made a 2500 mile trip on vacation........yes in my 98' I had still planned on making the event to dyno and test.

Good luck to you'll on the dyno, there are ones to be had but we are not rich.......it will workout in the long run and I will support you'll in every way I can.

Jim

[HT3500]

well looks like I'm 99% sure we got a new dyno. will know today.:rockwoot:

[B.A.Ram]

well looks like I'm 99% sure we got a new dyno. will know today.:rockwoot:

when you find out will you let me know what I need to do to sign up to dyno?

[stump0331]

well looks like I'm 99% sure we got a new dyno. will know today.:rockwoot:

man i sure hope so

[07CTD4x4]

hey for you guys that are from outta town. Are any of guys coming up Friday night? My buddy with a Cummins and I will be heading up there Friday night and looking for a place to stay so if yall are getting a hotel room let me know so I can try and find a room in the same place or somewhat near it so we can all sit around and bs or something.

k.hood

[crewgirl]

Do you guys want a hotel in Alvarado? Or do you want to stay in Fort Worth so that you're closer to civilization? I can call some hotels and get rates and room availablity for you guys.

[973604x4]

Midlothian has a motel...and its 20 minutes up the road.

Alvarado has a Super 8 Motel.

As of now, me and 2 other guys will be around Friday night.

[07CTD4x4]

I got a room at the alvarado Super 8. Its only 5 minutes from the arena. 97360 I got it from you on the other forum.

Are you going to be staying at that one? If so are you planning on going to the arena Friday night and hanging with Rowland and those guys?

Kyle

[HT3500]

sorry guys no dyno. I tried every thing in my power to get one there, but just too short notice or already booked. so because sombody couldn't honor their contract, it really makes me look bad. so I am truly sorry and PISSED off about this. But I will hold a dyno day for thr bargin price of $25 to try and make everbody happy, so let's throw out some ideas on dates. oh p.s. completely ***** out from getting the arena ready(wha...wha...) hope most or all still plan on comin. were adding a tug of war contess! too..

[heinzboy]

What time does this event start?

Plan the dyno event and I'l show up and pay twice that price!

I was going to have to show up with 370 injectors anyway, I trashed my EDM's and I.I. is fixing them.........long story and a write up about running finer micron filters....2 micron now and no issues!

Buck, I'm at the school house now so it allot easier for me to take a weekend off.

Jim

[stump0331]

well crap, i was hopin to run my truck on the dyno, im pretty sure im still gonna make it though i sure hope we can freely drink beer

[heinzboy]

Can i borrow a pulling hitch if I go?

[BgBlDodge]

Let me know when the next dyno event is. Hopefully I can make it.

[HT3500]

Can i borrow a pulling hitch if I go?

we will have extras on hand and most of the other guys will share. I guess if you guys want we can dyno next weekend, I was going to talk to ODRA and see if they wanted to do one together. just because they have never done one in fort-worth.

[stump0331]

what time does it kick off, its a 3 hrs or so trip for me just want to guage my time

[crewgirl]

http://www.diamondwarena.com/

I'm assuming that since the dyno thing fell through the beer drinking will start at 10 am...............

[_CH_]

not sure if my truck will be done by then but i might still try to show up

[crewgirl]

You should come! I want to meet some of the people I talk to on here!

[_CH_]

[crewgirl]

[sredish]

[stump0331]

i had a great time

[07CTD4x4]

I to had a great time. Pulled the sled for the first time ever. Was really excited and pleased with how I did. Was a pretty good turnout considering the dyno issue. Only maybe 1 or 2 Powerstrokes and 2 or so Duramaxes and like 40-50 at least Cummins Rams. All and all was a fun day.

Kyle

[stump0331]

yeah definately a dodge heavy event, but still a blast
