The campground is filling up quick and if you don't have a camper there is a place near there you can rent a camper. They will deliver it to the campground or you can pick it up. I will get the link.

There is no cutoff date but the sooner you know the better. Be sure to post up in the headcount thread.

2 stroke man,
The tractor went together well. I still have a busted nipple in the side of the case but I believe I can mend that too. I used the pressurre port for supply and power beyond port for return to system. Thanks for asking.

That would be great to get a plate. I haven't started looking around for another one just waiting to see what he came up with. I think it is time I start looking though as it seems he may be too busy to locate the one he said he would get.

If you can drag that stubborn Tim with you. I would love to shake his hand. Tell him I will even pay his dyno fee if he comes. No lie.

OK guys the DYNO is in. I have it locked down we just need a list of those who want to run the rollers. Just post a reply in this thread:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum31/

Let's show them SD boys we can run with them... unless you are scared.
I will be on the rollers myself, I aint skeeeeered.

Come on guys I am just trying to spark some interest. Shoot even if you come for the day that will be fine. We need a showing.

OK here it is out in the open...
Don't post on this thread if you are scared...











Let's see what that gets me?
