Use Durhamtown's bulldozer......sideways. Problem solved.

Have tow bar, when travel. ;-) Actually the crew fixing the truck if I broke it were all with me. You know....

I did not. Sorry.

I think you both would still be pulling in first low but that's just me. I was the chicken who didn't want to break his truck. :-)

Yes Robo the reg tent almost always has to be passed to get in and out of everything. The HQ will be there this year as well.

Updated title.

Fired up about the track people too and the non-existent safety........ Would haven't have been a good evening if the Dodge that broke and went through the concrete wall before the MV pulls had been on our side and hit the people on it. Something broke and although the truck stopped inertia...

Well, we do have the Nationals in Ohio. It's a midwest thing. :-)

Jayco was a staff volunteer for the event and I think he knows how much weight was in there. They were running the 4x4 3/4 ton modifieds and I didn't see them pull any out. Maybe 40,000 or so. He had mentioned 55,000 but I don't know for sure. The big thing is that the trucks connections...

Added Jayco's first run.

Also for the MKT we have a volunteer thread which is currently under review by the staff. You can put your name on it as well.

I believe so. The first time Jayco pulled (video uploading now) he said it caught him early. He can explain it better. No, I did not take my M813 out on the truck although Gimpy rode over with me and tried to talk me into it.

Last night: First video is JW4x4 http://youtu.be/VoGCikEXVL0 Although Jayco went first I have the videos backwards. I did not video Jayco's second pull (he did much better the second time at 225'). http://youtu.be/ljALyXneYVc

RMTaunton is the Special Operations Sgt for the rally so you will need to coordinate with him on the location (load out area) for safety and wrecker ops. Beer or not. At this time I know of only two heavy operations, one engine swap and a bed swap/install of some kind.

I don't recall any of mine looking like that but whatever end you put on the engine you have to cut one inch of it off. Otherwise it kinks and cuts down the flow.

On the dirt road past registration in the back open area past red barn. Due to the loss of space in the field area it was deemed unsafe to have wrecker operations in the field area.

I have no opinion on the beer. As the CO of the rally this year I must set an example of sobriety. (Stella Artois, Yeungling, Miller Light in the new resealable cans. All in an unmarked brown paper bag please.)

Wrecker/Load Out/Special Operations will not be anywhere near the main field this year. I do like the idea of the crane operator only following ground person orders, and 47 of them at once either. Thank you Ron.

Bump for evening group.

The first year I was at the rally Lloyd brought a bag of each. I am hoping he does again for us northerners who have no taste for the boiled. :-)
