Irp Convoy.......

[CumminThru]

Who's going from Ontario, and why not start to get something setup with other Chapters like Michigan, Ohio and Indiana that were gonna pass thru to roll with them.

I'm now seriously considering goin down. From what Ive heard from guys that have gone it's the not to miss event of the year for us diesel lovers.

Indy 08 - Friday/Saturday May 30-31

Uncle Gary's going...
I'll throw a twin mattress in the back and be all good for the trip, crash in a Walmart parking lot if I have too.

We should be having 3 trucks going down this year(we take I69) right down from Sarnia as its the easiest for me pulling the trailer and I usually stop at one of the shops on the way down)...one it tow though if I feel like I want to pull or am alowed. DHRA changed the rules for the former Super Street class (now Pro-Mod) and are only alowing single chargers but I have heard that they be having the 3 National Events an exception to the rule but I will believe that when I hear it from the DHRA them selves.

There is said to be ALOT of changes this year and the racing probably won't be as good as years in the past....there has been a big stir between the DHRA and the vehical owners in both drag's and pulls. Pulling will always be big in Indy though. I am looking forward to the the day time events and the night festivities (last year I saw about 500 burn outs, a red neck jet truck and a guy get tazerd all in about 2 hours) it was great!

We are booking our rooms this week.
