It’s that time again! :headbang:
Schedules are confirmed, and we are gonna crash another dyno day at Greg's(5.8fastcat) shop in Owensboro KY on Aug. 23, 2014.
After the conclusion of the dyno day FTBCF attendees will be hanging out thru the afternoon, then we will head over to a local cruise-in for the evening.
We are excited to see our regulars again this year, and look forward to welcoming all others who make it out. Hope to see ya there! :cheers:
For anyone planning travel days around Saturday's festivities, the local Days Inn has been the hotel of choice for our group. Rooms are clean, rates are reasonable, they have a pool, and no one has bothered us hangin out in the parking lot at late hours in the night.

Gumby , I talked with the manager today to give those who want to stay at the Day's Inn a discount rate of $75 + tax for both Friday & Saturday nights just like last year's price. About a $20 savings but they need to say they are with the ThunderCat group to get that discount. :poke:

Nothing I bring will be going on a dyno though. Either a limo, Jag, Cruella de Vil car, Cougar, two Cougars, LTC, or maybe just an FJ. The weather forecast will play a role in determining which car or cars I bring. I'm just coming to hang out and meet up with some good people of this community. Same plans though as someone else here. Coming in Friday afternoon/evening and leaving Sunday unless something comes up between now and then.

I'll be there too, but the Bird will be sitting it out again. It had a little smoke fest in the wire harness under the blower and my focus has been on prepping the Mustang for Drag Week. So I'll likely bring my work car (it's not domestic or usually welcomed in the gear head world, so no judgments that I don't qualify as a gear head!). Any way, It'll be great to have a chance to see everyone.

Me too!
A lot of great work has been accomplished with focus on addressing details. Unfortunately since finally getting the rear main addressed and the roll bar installed, electrical gremlins have haunted it. The good news: The cripsy circuit is now easy to find. The bad news: Extensive relocation and rewiring is necessary to ensure a minimal of issues in the future.
I do have a running project car though. And it will make a trip down to Greg's in September when we all take off for Drag Week (it starts in Tulsa this year). I recently completed a ~650 mile shake down run and had no mechanical issues, though I came back with a list of items to improve the comfort, reliablity and (hopefully) quickness.
Sorry for the huge pics... The time slip was the second test & tune. Hope to have a few more sessions for additional tweaks.

OK Folks.
Sorry for being so far behind the power ball.
I have been working on a deal with a local Ford Dealership. The long and short of it is that I have joined their dealership with my son.
We are currently moving the dyno and shop equipment to the new shop.
The dyno day will still be on as planned, just we will be at the dealership.
Here is the new address it is located only 10miles from the old shop
Champion Ford Reo
3078 West State Route 66
Rockport,In 47635

Just wanted to chime in -
I thoroughly enjoyed my DynoDay (weekend) experience last summer, but won't be making it this time, as I report back for duty (work) on August 18th this year. Afraid I'm bit too far away for road trip right before the kids show up for the first day of school on the 25th. Y'all try to have fun without me, if that's even possible!

Karl , The Hotel is located 1 mile south of Greg's old Dyno shop making it an 11 mile ride north to his new location. If any of you folks need help finding his new place let me know. I was hoping to meet up somewhere for breakfast with 86tbird , JeremyB & gumby and hopefully Greg and Ray.
Then I must be mapping the wrong locations. It's showing a 28-minute drive but I don't care about the drive. As long as I've made reservations at the right place where everyone else is. I don't think I screwed that up so I should be at the same place on Friday as everyone else if I can still make it. I'll just follow someone on Saturday morning.

Karl, you are in the right place. Days is where we have all stayed each year.
The shop venue change is all very recent, so if we need to adjust for next year we will figure that out this go 'round.
Alan, here is a satellite pic from Google, looks like plenty of room

I rarely head-count until the actual event happens, for any car meet. Too many no-shows to get everyone's hopes up.
I repeat to my local club often, if you want more stuff to happen you gotta just do stuff. Partition is exponential. When you do stuff, others will join in. If you sit around waiting, how many others are waiting as well?

I drove 4 hours to in a non-Ford hybrid! :mullet: I go months without seeing a Fox T-bird/Cougar, and when I do, it's invariably a beater. Rare chance to see the Foxes and the people who care about them!

So I booked a room at Comfort Inn, right down the road from Champion Ford.
See you guys tomorrow!
I fell victim to this two years ago. For whatever reason, this Days Inn blocks out all reservations online whenabouts the ThunderCat Day occurs. You have to call to get a room. I made my reservation about 6pm today. lol.
Bedtime for deez nutz.

I believe everyone who is likely to show has posted in this thread. If you decide not to come, there will be one less.
I rarely head-count until the actual event happens, for any car meet. Too many no-shows to get everyone's hopes up.
I repeat to my local club often, if you want more stuff to happen you gotta just do stuff. Partition is exponential. When you do stuff, others will join in. If you sit around waiting, how many others are waiting as well?

Couldn't find a tie-down on the front due to the mass of plastic for aero, so no dyno numbers! :p

Wow! There were a lot of nice rides there! I'm going to have to go one of these years...we'll see if I can blow the dyno up with my high-mile 5.0.
I really like that white Ranger w/2.3T. That little truck is super cool!

I drive down thru Bloomington, and right past Bloomfield every year...
Well we could just make a convoy out of it then! I was up through Mooresville a few weeks ago heading to the state fair. I looked for your car at that parts place you work part time but didn't spot it. Thought I'd stop and say "hi" if you were around.
