Spring/Summer FTE GTG ideas

Okay guys I know alot of us were planning on a GTG at Smokin this April, but Smokin has moved to the PA for this year which puts it out of driving range for a few people who were planning to attend. So lets see what we can get going on guys.

I was debating on going to the TS Outlaw event last year, but didnt because my truck was a POS and wouldnt hardly get out of its way. I might be tempted to go this year!

The TS Outlaw event is huuuuge.

Badazz rigs there (Scheid, Banks, Darren Morrison, Stuckey, TS's Caged Fury, etc, etc, etc....not to mention the pullers).

I went this year (it was April25-26?? this year).....same weekend as there was a C5/C6 homecoming or something in Bowling Green. So lots of diesels and lots of Vettes in the hotel parking lots

You can always throw several more thousand in her and make her a Common rail 7.3 .

I'd probably be more up for the TS event than anything. Big power trucks, lots of trucks, and good friends...that sounds like a winning combo to me.

Might as well get a tent and label it "DP TUNER" with most of the trucks from here there lol
