Road Trip '07

So i just got off of the phone with Patti, and i have scheduled a date of 4-18-07 at 8:15am for the transmission install. I was hoping for the 18th because after i leave BTS, i can head east to Gatlinburg. I WILL be at Smokin' in the Smokies, i told some of you that i wasn't going in PMs, but now the plans have changed and im planning to make a roadtrip out of it for a few days. I plan to hit the dyno on saturday if it is still open, possibly hang around on sunday as well if I can. I am pumped

Alan i think this is the best case of PMS yet. Sean yes i did give up on the manual conversion. If my transmission was fine now, i would have more time to do the conversion but since it's just limping along as it is, i thought this was the best way possible. Diane, are you going to Spring Fling "Roll with the Changes 2007", on 5-20 and 5-21? I am going and i want to reserve some live tuning time to accomodate the new mods and hopefully 'oil by then. Should i call now and reserve some time if you two will be there? I heard that tuning time on friday is limited. And did i hear dragracing on saturday? Cause now i will be confident taking the truck down the track for the first time.

Kris, I just made reservations at the Smokin' RV park for 4-9 through 4-23, hope to see you there. I think the drags are on Fri night, I'll be taking plenty of pics with my fancy zoom digital camera! If I don't happen to see you by just wondering around, look me up and stop by for a beer or whatever, I'll be in one of the pull-through spots. Same goes for anyone else, I've upgraded to a real 120 VAC refrigerator so I can keep plenty of cold ones on hand! What and where is this event? "Spring Fling "Roll with the Changes 2007", on 5-20 and 5-21?" anywhere near Hagerstown by chance?

Kris,

I may not be able to make it to Spring Fling this time. We have one child in school. I was thinking of sending Jody on his own this time.

Yes Friday Dyno has been booked solid. Friday night is when we are heading to the dragstrip for test-n-tune night. The dragstrip will be open on Saturday at the same time of the dyno for their weekly bracketts, so if you want to go back and race you can. After you dyno off course..

Give me call in a couple of days about reserving live tuning at Spring Fling. Jody brought home the stomach bug from CA, so we are all feeling puny right now.

Diane

Yes, it is "near" hagerstown. You want to go east on 70 like you are coming to my house, and then in Frederick, take 15 North 20 mins or so on the other side of the PA line. Its actually right on 15.

Sorry to hear you wont be there Diane, i will have to call you sometime and reserve some live tuning time at Spring Fling.
