I am going on Saturday morning. I have never been there and probably won't know anyone there. I have signed up and paid for the dyno, hoping to break 300. Anyone else going to go? It would be cool to check out some other 1st gen trucks.

That's too bad you already prepaid to run on Scheid's dyno when Dave Dunbar's dynojet will be there. You'll have a hard time hitting 300 on their stingy load dyno. Besides Dunbar's dyno is the most recognized dyno and it's easier to compare numbers to. I won't be dynoing my heap this year. I think that's about the first time in the past 4 or 5 Scheid events. I'll be there with my 85 crew cab. Look for 1st gen row just inside the gate directly across from Dunbar's dyno. Myself and a few other local 1st gen's double park to save parking spots just for 1st gen trucks. Come over and say hello.

I just figured i can only make it saturday and didnt want to miss a chance on running any dyno. I dont really care about the numbers as much as having the experience to do it. But......

If you think there would be a chance to get on Dunbar's i could call Scheids and see if i can get a refund because they have been good to be so far.

I will be there all weekend. My truck is staying in Wisconsin tho, I blew the head gasket last week, and I won't be able to get it all back together until I get my head back from the machine shop. I will be stopping by the first gen section this year. Should've known last year that the row of first gens by the gate was DTR guys. lol Who was the guy with the murdered out 4X2 with the hood stack?
