St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

Well ladies and gentlemen I have been thinking about the show in a couple of weeks and I have some ideas of what I think we'd be doing but I'm not really sure as this is my first show I've gone to.

I was thinking about who all was going and what equipment and rigs they'd be bringing and I just had a few thoughts but wasn't sure if anybody else would be interested in them.

Now if I'm way off track here or outta line just shout and I'll let it go.

A couple of ideas that I had in mind would be some sort of truck pulls?

Maybe tractor pulls if there is anyone else there with tractors besides my Ford?

How about a road test course for points? Something along the lines of parking, backing up, making turns and maneuvers in a set area with some small markers of some sort?

Now those are just a few ideas that I had in mind and thought I'd bring up to see if anybody would be interested in them. Like I said before I've never been to a show so some of this may already be done and I don't know about it or not enough people would have interest but I thought I'd give it a shot anyways.

Lemme know what you guys think of any of these ideas and I'll be glad to help make any of them happen if we can.:D

Lots of heavy artillery coming in, as in dirtpusher9's dozer & pull scraper for starters.. I hope there's a dirt pile & not that silly granulated rubber stuff?!

We could do some road building! Build a dirt ramp up to an overpass, or just a road in general 6inches thick & properly graded. How many dump trks/trls will be there? Do something constructive with a goal to be achieved inside of two days. ;)

Maybe Sunday morning we start cleaning up the dirt and hauling it back into the dump trl that brought the dirt to Ed's shop (unless it was delivered in a dump trk)?

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

I vote for the road building idea.

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

I'll have my truck and frameless, she will be ready to get dirty ;) someone needs a water truck, might get a tiny bit dusty :D

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

I like how you're all thinkin'.

Depending on the weather and who all shows up there may not be a whole lot of extra room in Ed's shop by the time you get the the bridge and everybody's stuff set up. The weather will be a big factor on what we have room to do.;)

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

If I knew I could be there I would volunteer to bring the dirt. But unless the weather keeps me out of the field I'll be harvesting soybeans. Want to come meet you guys and I'll have my first semi tractor by then, was hoping to talk someone into letting me pull a borrowed trailer LOL! Hope the 19th is the 3rd game of the NLCS Cards vs. Reds!

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

A cu yd or two will do. Whatever the cost, take a head count for those who use it & split it. ;)

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

I'll have some trailers there :)

Road building sounds fun. The road coarse has me interested as well.

Am I to bring the pull sled? Not sure it will be of any use on concrete - set up for carpet.

Izzy

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

I too like the sound of road building/something with a "goal" in mind, Road course would be awesome too....Bobtail of course lol! I really hope it works out where I can come up.

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

We could build you a dirt track Izzy, D9Joe's dozer will do a great job packing and leveling. ;)

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

WELL I'll just wait and see how all goes and adapt to the environment . I'll most likely be loading trucks :rolleyes: Although I'll have to build a ramp to load till I get my longer lift cylinders made :(

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

What a great goal for the event! Build a dirt track to run Izzy' sled on:cool: you could even increase the grade as you get down the track just to make things interesting:D

Hmmmm, St Louis is only what? 2-3 hrs from Indy? After 9hrs, whats another 2 or 3 . :D. I would love to be there and see the dirt track built. I have no gravel trailer YET but I could move equipment around with my lowboy:p
Sounds like its going to be a great meet rain or shine.:)

I gotta talk to the wife .......;)

Mario

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

Yeah, we need a goal in mind that sounds good. Ed, what time will you be running too on Friday night? Not sure I'll be there in time too play or not but going to try to be.

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

We are getting close to our meet.I will be shutting my shop down at 3 pm and from there it's game on.I plan on sticking around pretty late to make sure everyone who wants to stop by or setup,has the opportunity to.Lets all work together and build a dirt bridge to no where.

Ed

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

I will be there with the 140H......i like the bride to nowhere idea, we actually have a 1.3 million $ one here that goes in to the side of a house.....built by the corp of eng......:D

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

I like the sounds of building something as a goal. I won't have much but I may make a quick roller to pull behind the tractor to pack the ground for ya. :D

Tyler

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

if you don't get 1 made , I'll pack it in with a 40# loader :)

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

Steve I'm already over half way there with a 23lb tractor I just gotta add another 20 behind it and I'll gladly flatten anything I can. :p

Tyler

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

Its only a couple hour flight too Mario ;) instead of all those miles...

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

I heard from Ed today and let me tell you he is exited just like a little kid on Christmas morning. Heck we may have to give him a time out before we even get started.:D

Travis

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

I cant wait to see my sons reaction Friday after school when he gets home to find out he's leaving 10 mins later to come with to the show!! I know im excited to be going!!!

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

Travis is correct.Iam flying high about this weekend.There will be give aways,swap meet ,and lots of warm weather.Forecast of 69,and 70 degrees for the weekend.Also we have plenty of room so you guys can bring as many toys as you want.Our local hobby store has secured a guys tamiya collection and it is for sale.There are 2 mammoth dump trucks included.Just FYI.


Ed

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

If I wasn't so busy here running our business, I would take a ride out with the 9W and load trucks "In The Cut" if there was a big enough pile of dirt to walk up on. But can't get away.

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

Can't wait! See you Friday night! I hope someone had a spare dump trailer I can borrow lol maybe buy :)

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

Ya but, not only too much going on at home, my passport is still expired. No prob driving across the border with an expired passport, to get on a plane is a different story:eek:
FYI... Renewing a passport is not a quick and easy process by no means:mad:

Mario

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

I ended up having knee surgery today and hopefully I will still get to drive up. I know gearjammer is still into harvest,maybe rain tonite will allow him to drive me :)

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???

Tyler

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

I ended up with Tickets to the Cardinals game for tonight, plan on staying up there so I will most likely be dropping in tomorrow to meet you guys. May even bring my Knight hauler so I can make a quick run or 2!

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

I'll be leaving after my class this morning (what's the point in going? Not like ill actually pay attention ), should be there mid afternoon. :D

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

Leaving in an a hour!! Cant wait

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

We are coming into Poplar Bluff. Just a few more hours.
Man we need to start doing this in Texas.

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

Poplar Bluff huh, That takes you within an hour of me on your way up, I'm over by Sikeston. Fixing to leave now to head to the ballgame.:D

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
 

I was hoping to make it but found out yesterday that I "agreed" to do some work on my brother inlaws house saturday. Meaning my wife told him 2 weeks ago that she thought this was my only free weekend. Turns out he cleared his schedule and then reminded me about it yesterday. Crap.

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???
