Another cruise at Midway bar and grill down here in beaver county on wednesday. Any takers??


Rick

 

I'm gonna guess that it is in the evening?.....and if so I can't go. If it's during the day though, maybe

 

Hmmm... maybe.

 

This week is very OUT for me...I have class 8-4 in Indiana every day...

 

While I'm not far from there after work... any cruise on a weeknight is out for me seeing as I get up too early to be of any use.

 

Too far for me. I quit driving up there when I left the railroad...

 

Damn, its wednesday night and I'm just seeing this post, I live in Center haha. Midway cruises are awesome. Maybe the next one

 

O RLY? Work outta New Castle perhaps?

 

Nope, Conway Yards in Beaver County; I worked for Norfolk Southern (formerly Conrail). Drove 60 miles each way from Greensburg every day...

Rob (Fast06SS) wants to come to the Pittsburgh area and do some tuning on SSs. PM me if you are interested in getting Rob to tune your car. Do a search under his screen name. He has the HP Tuner software and can make you some power while keeping reliability and driveability. I can arrange dyno session at Hybrid Dynamics in Youngwood.

 

Oh, ok, I work for CSX outta New Castle, thats why I was wondering.

 

With the dyno included, what are we looking at cost wise?

 

Probably around $80 per person.

 

that's not a bad $$ since with numerous people, Hybrid charges around $60 a person for 3 runs.

I was talking to a guy I know, and one of his friends has one of those Mustang Dynos ( the ones you trailer and pull onto ) and he was seeing about getting a whole bunch of people to get in on some pulls.

 

No ****! Are you in train service?

 

Are you kiddin'..that's a steal for a custom tune!!!!

 

that's what I was saying... hence why I said "that's not a bad price"


man... all that drag racing is frying your brain... hehehehehe

How da hell are ya george?

 

These dddayss...wooouunndd tighter than a golf ball,.....how you doin'?

 

That isn't a bad idea at all with the custom tunes. i wanted a custom tune anyway for gm stage 2 with an Injen. problem is i dont have eithier one yet.

WORD^^^

 

not all trailer dynos are mustang dynos, i got mine dynoed on a trailer pulled dyno and it was a dynojet, i dont like mustang dynos. yah but rob told me it was like $100 upfront and $100 after we aresatisfied with the tune and i was like i dont have that kind of money right now.

 

Was in train service for the past 6 years, went to engine service last fall.

 

Cool! I miss it sometimes (miss the money all the time!), but I don't miss being on the road and sitting in motel rooms. I was a conductor on the Conway-Harrisburg pool, so that was 12+ hours every damn day...

Plus I worked for **** Southern...

 

CSX got a lot worse recently as far as the **** policies go. Since I've had my card though, they don't seem to play games with me as much as they do with the train service guys. I work a 158 mile run to Willard Ohio with a stop at Lordstown most of the time. Usually 5-6 hour days so its tolerable. New trip rates in place now, gave us a decent raise; calculated in average ITD/FTD which we never saw to begin with and full trip mileage deadheads, not hourly or even 130 mile basic day. Things are going to be getting hairy soon though as one man crews are right around the corner.

 

Ok... so what's been going on with the group???

No one showed for the car cruise, nor mentioned it...

Never see anyone anymore.... Not many even posting about getting together...

are we fragmenting into psuedo-groups? Maybe I'm just being black-balled now....lol

It was wierd that the only SS at the cruise this weekend was that black NA with the feaux CF hood and big ass tach.

Ok... I'm done whining now.
