AUGUST 11th MEET A SUCCESS!!!

Marty · Aug 11, 2007

Well well well... I got the pleasure to meet a fine group of powerstrokers from thedieselstop exodus!! LOL. It's a funny story, there were about 4-6 trucks that parked next to psd.org's group of 12 @ the track and so naturally I walked over to say hi. Well turns out it was 389sixpack, bogger, maddmatt, bushwacked and there is another guy I can't remember his name though. Anywho, they were all like hey, how whatsup and I asked them for all their names and then I was like yeh I'm "maintain" from the forum and boy did I get quite the warm welcome! Everybody put out their hands and were like HHHEY!!! lol it was soo funny.

Anyway, I got a cool BWD shirt from MaddMatt and a few stickers as well as some information and possible future wrenchin' partners! I didn't take many photo's (usually I'm a photographer, but have been under the weather for the past 2 weeks) but I did get some and here they are...

I also have a contest going over on psd.org... which includes one of the exodus members LOL you guys that went be sure to check that out and help decide the winner!!!!

I'll be back to post more pix in a jiffy!!!!

This was just the PSD.org attendence at 8:10am, PSN.com helped make the POWRSTROKE PRESENCE BE FELT by those CUMMERS FELLERS!!! LOL....
At least 2 trucks were missing from this and once again it was before 90% of the trucks arrived...

Just a reminder, these events usually end up being a Cummins fest and I'm glad to report that the Powerstroke Presence continues to rise!!!!

Unfortunately the fastest Cummins and Duramax were both faster then the fastest Powerstroke. There was a Cummins in the low low low 11's. and a duramax in the mid 12's. Everyone else placed between the high 12's and the mid 15's.

Nice to finally meet you.I would have ran the truck but didnt want to chance melting the already melted up-pipe in half 2 1/2 hours away from home.

Matt, Thank you I owe you big time.

Matt was at BWD and picked up a intercooler for me.Now, Matt did not only pick this up for me and lug it to Maryland but he also got his hands dirty today and helped put it in while at the track.:rockwoot:

BTW Matt my temps went up 500 Degrees WTF

J/K Seems to spool alittle better,cruising temps dropped about 75 Deg. and doesnt heat up as quick, not to bad for one melted, leaky uppie.

Martin - Maintain - Good meeting you and the group you had there.

Kenny, got air? How did that big CAC run on the ride home? Spooling better now?

Jason, we put that Damper on my truck since you were not around - I just borrow it for awhile!!

Matt, thanks for shirt.

Guys, get your PowerStrokeNation.com stickers on and post a pic. Kenny, I like the way yours fit in the back center. I'll have to make up some more that size. I'll bring them down to E-town on the 24th.

Greg - Dockboy, looks like things didn't go too bad. Sucks that the dyno went south (literally - both ways). Good turnout..

boggerr · Aug 12, 2007

Nigel!!!!! you werent supposed to tell Jason that, I have a brick thats the same weight in the box now.
Temps were good,spools better and turbo sounds much healthier.

Steve, I thought you were counting all the rags

nice runs BTW Ill see if I can post one for you.

Ill get a pic of the window for tomorrow.

I think you need to start Carnage 3.00 thread on the broken hose clamp - Oh wait, where is Andrew!! LOL

We need to start a new thread 'Where in the Carnage world is Andrew' LOL....

Thanks to all who attended!!

For the Mason Dixon Turbo Diesel Clubs first attempt at a drag race event, it wasn’t too bad. But of course, there was some “Murphy’s Law” that came into play 

For those that showed up to dyno, I and Diesel Performance Motorsports apologize for the dyno problems!! Computer issues were plaguing the dyno and we were unable to even get it fired up. Mike worked as hard as possible for at least 4 hrs trying to resolve the problems to no avail. Again, we apologize and I would like to thank Mike and his brother for the tremendous effort!!

The goal for the drag racing was to have a nice and relaxed test and tune. I believe that was accomplished although it would have been nice if a few more racers showed up. The Iron Man awards have to go to a couple of the Duramax guy’s (sorry, I forget your names right now) who racked up 30 passes each!! Again, all in all it was a great day with a gate total of 50 racers and 180 spectators.

A big congrats goes out to Cliff (oasis-3) who won our impromptu Gamblers race between 8 entrants for a pot of $160.

Also, my long standing record for the fastest diesel truck at Cecil County Dragway of 11.88 , which by the way I didn’t even know I held until the track manager told me today!, was broken twice!! First by Steve Bohatch (cdt8999) with an 11.84, then by Wade Moody (Diesel Power) with an 11.04. A big “Way to go!!!!”

Special thanks to Tracy Smith who took over 250 awesome pictures from at the line and they are available through her website at http://trsphoto.exposuremanager.com/

I passed my video camera to our official Movie man Ernie (Fiveology) LOL and he took a pile of video! I am uploading it now and will post the link later.

A big Thank You goes out to Cecil County Dragway for their hospitality and excellent facility!! Also to all the participants and spectators! There was not one complaint from the track about anyone’s dragstrip edict or conduct and they gladly invited us back next year! I would also like to thank Jim and Lloyd (fellow MD-TDC officers) and all the other MD-TDC members that showed up and gave their support to this event.

Hopefully we can learn from this experience and have an even bigger and better event next year!!

Thanks again!!!

Greg “Dockboy” DaPron
MD-TDC Vice Pres.

As always it was a pleasure. Make sure to show me some love.

Bogger getr done on the up pipes and let me know what you see on the 23rd. a ~100 deg drop on leaky up pipes is a good start. I have some stock cac tubes with beads welded on. It you want to come get them.

Steve the truck ran great. I'm happy to see an nearly stock truck lay down 350 HP. :ford:
