Central Iowa Diesel Truck Show/GTG

[DieselWrencher]

Well, I finally got a date set and some details for this shindig. This will be held at Area Diesel's lot in Pleasant Hill Iowa on September 20th 2008. I am going to try to start registration at noon and the actual show will go until 6pm or so. I am trying to get a dyno there but this is unknown as of yet. I am working on getting lodging discounts for out of towners and there will be a few places to pitch a tent or bring your camper to.

As for the show there will be a few different classes.

1. Stock Work Truck
2. Modified Work Truck
3. Stock Street Truck
4. Modified Street Truck
5. Show & Go Trucks

If anyone has any ideas or additions for this feel free to give me a call 515-250-5121. Thanks Ryan.

If any of you are thinking of coming, I am working on an after hours deal and I am arranging a camp site not far from the truck show for anyone who would like to camp out. I am also working on getting lodging discounts to help out as well. You can email me at dieselwrencher@netscape.net if you think you might want to come.

Also I am working on having wall plaques for 1st and 2nd place winners in the classes, and I am working on getting door prizes to give out through out the day.

If you would like to compete in the show we are going to charge a fee to help pay for trophies and help ensure people will come. The left over money will be used to buy supplies.

sounds great, if I don't have drill that weekend I will be there. Just wish I had a truck good enough to show. I still have so much to learn and look forward to the gathering. Thanks for all your efforts.

It doesn't matter if your truck isn't perfect because I will have probabaly 2 unfinished heaps there. Ans Zach yes gasser trucks will be allowed as well. We might have to make a special class for them.

Well I called the closest mobile dyno which is Ft. Dodge Transmission. They said it is $1200 to get the dyno there and then $90 for 2-3 pulls. I am supposed to call the owner of the shop tomorrow to try to talk him down. Even the best dyno on the east coast only charges $75 for 3 pulls. I will let you know what I find out.

Ummm...yeah, they are crazy! What'd it cost Area Diesel to have those guys come in? DynoTune
