Mike McGlothlin from Diesel Power is going to try and cover the rally for the magazine.

Missy and I met with Dennis Perry, owner of TS Performance on 12/2/08. He is a great guy and I know we are going to have a good time at his shop. We will dyno/tour TS on Monday July 6th. We are planning on being there at 10-10:30 am.

Cost.......$50 (the usual is $75 and up for most places you can dyno) and that is for three pulls.

Missy and I are planning other activites like: Corvette museum, Mammoth Cave, Railway Museum, Drag Racing at Beech Bend, Holley Performance and so on. A final event itinerary will be posted closer to July to give days and times for the other activites.

Please call and start reserving your sites, I hope we fill up and need more sites than the 25 above. If any questions, feel free email, PM or call us(see the BOOB contact list).

As an update on the drag racing.....

I talked with Dallas Jones, owner of BEECH BEND and he will be able to have us there for the drag racing on Saturday the 4th. We will be racing just each other in kind of a special "IDI Bracket.":rockwoot:

He talked about just having the entire track for us earlier in the day (yup the whole place would be ours). But, the cost of getting the crew to run the place and get EMT service would be cost prohibitive with so few trucks.:dunno

Anyway, we are part of the program for Saturday, July 4th.:Cheer:

Who's going to race me?:drive::tree:

The events schedule has changed..........please see the below post as I cannot edit the schedule posted above.

We will delete the Railway Museum and will move the Mammoth Cave tour to Friday (7/3/09) am. The Show and shine will be on Sunday am with the pot luck and awards to follow.

Mel (agnem) will be doing his yearing timing clinic (he'll dynamically time your IDI for free) on Friday afternoon.

I'm going to rebuild a Borg Warner 1345 T-case on Friday as well.

Ron (dsl_dog_catcher) and Gary (icanfixall) will have injector testers and can pop test your injectors.

PLUS........Mel will bring me my Moose Injectors for their world debut and dyno.:rockwoot:

PM or post with questions.

Only One Month Left!!!!

The campground will only hold the camp sites until May 1st!!! After that date, he will let anyone reserve those spots and they will fill quickly.

If you are thinking about coming.........reserve you spot soon.........or they may be gone.

If you've never gone or are wondering what it is all about.......check out this 4 minute video of the 2007 IDI Weekend in Rising Sun, IN.

PM or post your site number to let me know who's where and whatnot!

SEE YOU IN JULY!

Heath
 
The sites I have reserved for the rally will "OPEN TO THE PUBLIC" on May 1st which is THIS FRIDAY! That's right....in just 3 days!

The site will fill quickly and if you are coming and need an RV site, you better get your reservation now or you might miss out unfortunately.

The Rally approaches!! See you soon.

Heath
 
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO GET A CAMPSITE!!

The reserved sites are open for any and everyone tomorrow!

I really want to thank John Finely at IKON for the great printed welcome packets he put together for us.

A GREAT BIG THANKS to Dennis Perry and TS Performance. You really make us all feel at home at your shop. Thanks for letting me use the shop to swap my injectors. The shirts and DVD's made great door prizes and thanks again for the banner. I also want to thank Clint and the others who ran the dyno all day long for us. I'm sorry you guys missed lunch, but thanks for doning a great job. This was the highlight of the event for me and I'm sure many others. Too bad you guys don't have any IDI products, or I'd have a truck full of TS products for sure.

Also....Thanks to Holley Peformance and Bill Tichner for the banners and the nice door prizes to give away.

I really want to thank all who attended this year. What a great group of guys! I hope to see you all next year!
