Poll to Determine Date for 6.0 Shootout - Diesel Forum

ralphinnj · 07-06-2005, 09:32 PM

Please enter the dates you can attend. You can select all dates for both cities if you are available. If you can only attend one city, just click on the dates for that city please. If you can't attend but want to view the poll results, just click 'No' to the 1st question. The voting closes at 8PM on the 15th of July.

I chose dates at the end of August and early September. The dates shown are the Saturday/Sunday of that weekend. I am hoping we can do the main work on the Saturday.

Thanks,

RL

Still September 3/4.

Really close for Nashville (why are Dallas people still voting?).

I heard the DHRA is the 10/11th weekend and some other event is the 27/28 Aug. Does that mean the 3rd/4th is reallt the best choice?

ralphinnj,

Yep the DHRA is running on the 10/11th and a lot of attendees might miss it if it's schedueled on that date. The 3/4th of September is also Labor Day weekend so folks have an extra travel day if they come from far away locations etc.

The date poll is over!

Nasville on the weekend of the 3rd and 4th of September will be the date. We have 18 committed TDS members, but I am hoping to get more of you to join. I wanted all of you to know we are already looking into getting a dyne committed, as many sponsors as possible, lodging for the out of towners, etc. I will start another thread and provide a way to "register." We'll do that off line, I will provide an email address.

ralphinnj,

I have two different dynos on stand by, one is a Mustang the other a Dyno Jet. You guys make a decision and I'll get it booked for the dates. Are we dynoing two days or just one. I sort of figured the first day we be an arrival day and the Saturday would be the day to make smoke!!!!!!!!! Sopmeone fill in the dyno choice info for me and if we need it for both days etc.

RL,
I thought we could put together a results packet with graphs and charts ect.. for a nominal fee too help defer costs, I am sure their are pleanty of people that can not go but would not mind paying a few bucks for good info...?????It is just an idea .. I will be sending you a pm soon with my info.

Mark,

I do not know how long a run takes. I understand that once you have a truck set up, it is more efficient to swap modules on the truck on the dyno. So, figure we have 3 trucks, and each will get all of the modules to be tested.

What are they? Quad, SCT, Edge, Bullydog, Predator, Banks, etc. Please name the rest we should test. Could we run through one truck, all modules, in 2-3 hours? Then we could do 3 trucks between 9AM and 6PM. Otherwise 2 trucks might be the limit.

I am not an expert on which dyno to use. Can anyone tell us which is more dependable and accurate?

J,

I think the packet concept is very good. I'm pretty good with Excel and Powerpoint, so we could put something together for a nominal fee (like $10 or something like that). Sounds good to me,
