M-D TDC Spring Fling 2010

[Hammer]

The Mason-Dixon TDC would like to welcome all members here to our annual Spring Dyno Event/BBQ.This years event will be a 2 day event so we can try and get everyone who desires to dyno onto the "Humbler" and shake off their winter cobwebs.So Here is the info of what,where and when...

What-"2010 Spring Fling"

Where..SGS Performance
901 Range End Road
Dillsburg,PA 17019
(717)-502-0880
SGS Automotive

Cost...$75 for 3 spins with HP/TQ readings

When...Saturday March 20th & Sunday March 21st

The only rules we will have is stack owners will have to drop their flex pipes or allow us to slide the exhaust tubes down over the stacks and dually owners must remove the outside wheels to help keep the show rolling.Also for the dually owners if you would prefer to dyno with a set of 2500 wheels(singles) some of the guys may be able to bring their extras for you to borrow.Tools will be provided to help and other members will be able to help you if needed.Those who desire to do some BOMBing work may use the shop,but,please all we ask is you clean up after yourself and then dyno during the weekends event at some time.We also would like those who attend to please place their trash into the trash bins and not leave it lay all over the upper field.Also we would like those in attendance to not deliberately tear up the grassy field if we receive any bad weather.


Also Note.....
As many of our club members know we lost a dear friend,Curtis Rice,late last year when he passed on due to cancer.Curt has done work for many local pullers and has done alot for many of our club members.So we will run a charity bracket shootout with all the proceeds going to his sons college fund.Here is how we are going to do this and hopefully we can have a good showing for this....

Curtis Rice Bracket Shoot-Out....
-On your T-Time card,on the back,you willl write down your best guess at what HP you will make.
-When you get in the dyno bay you pay the fee to dyno($75)and a extra $10 to participate in the shoot-out.
-The closest owner to their HP guess will be the winner and there will be a runner-up also.
-Plaques will be given to both the Winner and Runner-up.
-ALL money collected for the Shoot-Out will be donated to Denton Rice College Fund.
-In the event of a tie,we will use the torque number to break the tie.

Gang,this is for a good cause and for someone who we all really liked and has done so much for the diesel motorsports community.We will also have a place for those who wish to donate to the cause if they do not dyno that weekend.

So with going back to early Spring we hope we can shake the cobwebs loose early and have a great time.Look forward to seeing everyone there.....Andy

Time is drawing close gang...
PLEASE do not forget that we will do a covered dish cookout both days and ask that you bring something along to contribute to lunch.I seem to have overlooked posting that and do not know how I forgot to mention lunch.

The weather looks like it will co-operate for Saturday and be nice but Sunday looks like a chance of showers.We will go both days no matter what the weather is and try and start around our normal time which is flexible between 8 and 9am.

Please also remember we have had alot of rain and the upper field may be a little soft so try and be as careful as you can when moving about up there so we do not tear it up to bad.I may be a bit behind schedule with working Friday night but Greg will start the deal off and I will be there ASAP.

Look forward to seeing everyone there..........Andy

Thanks for the invite Andy! I will have to see if I can make it or not. I have to attend a funeral saturday in Frederick MD, so that's going to chew up a lot of my weekend. Sunday is possible, but the honeydo list will probably kill me.

 

[Hammer]

Mel...
Not a big deal and sorry about the funeral.
See you when you can make it.

There was a reccomendation made while in the dyno bay to allow a +100HP addition for DockBoy being able to drive his truck OUT of the bay.However,it was over ruled by the dyno bay committee due to a technicality brought on by the oil leak which resembled the one from the EXXON Valdez.

Lloyd gets the hard luck award for the day for having to have his ride pushed out while Dockboy did the commentary for the trip outside.Software issues had Lloyd frazzled for a while but they had it figured out when I left to come home.

It really was a fantastic day weatherwise and it made for a nice turnout of all brands of trucks.The upper field was packed full most all day long and it was nice to see some of the old faces who we haven't seen in a while.

Sp far the Bracket Shoot-Out is proving to be a bit harder to attempt than some had figured.Today we had a fantastic showing of owners who made attempts to see how close powerwise they could guess ontheir respective rides.The two leaders are both within a single digit number of their trucks actual power made.Tommorrow should prove to be interesting as we see how many more will step up and try their hand to see how well they know their respective rides.

On Another note.....
On my way home tonite I recieved a phone call from Gene Peters(aka-The Geriatric Juvenile)who I was suprised was not with us today.During that call I found out Gene has had some health set backs and has landed in the hospital while the docs get figured out what is causing his health problems.Please Keep Gene in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.GET WELL Gene,all of miss your smiling face around this weekend.

With that I will step away and call it a night as I am drained.Look forward to seeing everyone tommorrow as we are supposed to have another decent day for the show..........Andy
