Hi there,

We just wanted to let everyone know that we'll be attending the TS Performance Dyno and Race Event in Bowling Green, Kentucky on April 25th and April 26th. If anyone in the area is interesting in attending, Bill will be happy to look at your vehicle personally. Then, of course, ya'll (for my southern friends) or youse guys (for my NY & NJ friends) can take the vehicle for a spin at the dragstrip. Well, maybe not LITERALLY for a spin...

Historically, these events are really all about the Diesels, but we'd really love to see more Gassers this year!

If nothing else, it's some great barbecue!

We'll have our sons with us -- Wil (Dyno Boy from our About Us page), almost 9, and Liam, almost 7, and we're looking forward to seeing some familiar faces as well as being able to put new faces to names.

Hope to see you there!

 

Sounds likes a really fun event. I've been to Bowling Green and the track is a very cool place to visit.

Make sure to take some pictures and post them up!

 

WHOOHOO!!! Comin to Kentucky! Will you possibly have any Gryphons on hand at this event, or are you just going as spectators? Cause that would be cool..... I'll be out there soakin up the sun (hopefully), and havin a beer. I'll look for ya.

 

We're actually going as spectators, but I've got to tell you that Bill doesn't go anywhere without a laptop, programmers, brochures, business cards, etc. In fact, when we went to Missouri for my grandmother's funeral, he even hooked our nephew up with a Gryphon! Here we are sitting at the senior center eating an array of delicious homecooked goodies with zillions of extended family members ("This is Aunt Polly's great granddaughter, which would make you... cousins." It seems I have lots of cousins.). But I digress. Here we are enjoying some family bonding time before the actual funeral when I see my husband lean over to my nephew and say in a low voice, "Let's go check out the HEX code on your truck." And then they left! Of course, they came back in a bit later with a ton of information written on a little slip of paper. That's just Billy. It's in his blood, I think. And BTW, no, my nephew hasn't received his Gryphon yet -- first come, first served y'know. Fair's fair even when it comes to family!

So after that long drawn-out story, the answer is a resounding YES! We will definitely have Gryphons and whatever else we can manage to bring!

We're looking forward to seeing everyone!

 

Bowling Green....That's about 5.5 hrs for me, probably 3 tanks of gas round trip. Have you ever heard of the exception to the rule of 1st come 1st served? The exception goes something like this.....If you have a customer who drives a minimum of 5 hrs to obtain your services then you are req'd to help them out........j/k Were going down to Hatfield McCoy the following weekend (approx same distance as BG but s.e. instead of s.w.) so BG's out for me. Have fun.

 

As a matter of fact, I HAD heard of that exception. It's in the fine print somwhere! Bill says that if you'd be willing to drive to our house, you'd move straight to the head of the class! And in all seriousness now, we're going to try and accommodate as many customers as possible who take the time to search us out in KY. It's only fair.

I just made reservations for us to go to SEMA in Las Vegas during the first week of November. I'm sure Billy'll have all his goodies with him then, too, if anyone's out that direction!

 

Hmmm....I wonder if I could justify to the little lady why we need to go to KY the weekend before we go to WV!!!!! I better get to work..

 

Nah, you got it all wrong, Hon! You don't need to con her into going to KY the weekend before you go to WV... you just need to justify the detour through Atlanta on your way from Ohio to West Virginia!

If we don't bump into you beforehand, please have a safe trip!

 

Seems to be about 450ish miles from my place, I-40 most of the way, Thats only, 2.5 tanks of gas, and then what I would use there, pitch a tent in the back of the truck somewhere. Just where is this place??

 

6.5 hrs for me.....I was all jazzed up to make the run......but I gotta work.

Humm, thats about 1-1/2 hour for me. Any chance we can do any dyno testing on our trucks while were there? Do you have an address for the location in bowling Green on hand so I can map quest it please.

Im still trying to get a hold of bill and have been for awhile. Im waiting on a cutom tune but its no hurry now because having problems with my truck. However would still like to talk with bill.

Thanks, Mike

There are different events planned at different locations from what I gather. Re: addresses, etc., your best bet is to go to www.tsperformance.com and check out everything that's going on.

The best way to get ahold of Bill is to give him a call at 678-963-9913. As of about midnight last night, he was DOWN to about 60 e-mails (that's with no spam, mind you). Being out in the middle of Nowhere, Missouri with little to no internet service really backed him up. He will be out of the office during the day today while he does some live tuning on a few vehicles. He should be available around 7:00ish tonight.

 

Thank You!

 

Whats wrong with the truck Mike?
