You revved that thing so much some guy commented that you were going to blow the motor. Lol. The second video when you were pulling the camper, Sandy and I were standing by the VW Vanagon camper watching you guys. I can see us in the vid.

Popular Post yarnall Posted August 11, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2013 A few years ago a guy was sent a letter from ATCA to never come back to Macungie because he made so much noise with his V12 Detroit.

2stacksuperdog Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I like the sound of a Detroit but when your sitting there at a show i like to be able to talk about the trucks and still hear. Only 1 show this year had a kid doing it that i went to and he was the one with the brand new truck at the antique show.... 1 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32288-growing-fame-of-the-two-stroke-variety/#findComment-199308 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeThat's the kind of thing that really ticks me off about clubs. I understand the noise I like to have a peaceful day to, however why not just go ask the person to please keep it to a minimum and let it go. I really doubt that the show was so small you couldn't find a place to talk and if asked nicely most people will say no problem, now if he just ignores them and acts like a dick then ask him to leave. I don't understand how that can warrant getting banned from a show and I hope he and anyone else he knows boycott the show in question just to prove a point. The ATHS club here locally is becoming such a pain to deal with their last truck and tractor show had 6 trucks, they have basically killed their own club.

farmer52 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I can understand both sides of this issue. An occasional albeit minimal "romp" on the throttle is okay. You will find a similar thing at car shows. The club could make a rule...no running of engines once parked...but no one likes a lot of rules. At a tractor show, attendees expect to see/hear tractors running and operating. Personally, I just park my truck and "chill out" with my fav cigar, visit with friends, and watch the scenery. 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32288-growing-fame-of-the-two-stroke-variety/#findComment-199416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in a residental area and surrounds the community pool. It is not just people at the truck show who can hear it. Yes, it is a truck SHOW. It is not a loudest truck competition. Trucks make a lot of noise to start with and then to make noise for the sake of making it is out of line. I am all for making noise at certain times. I love winding out my unmuffled Cummins in my Autocar DC75 or the 671 in my Autocar/Hahn when I am on the highway. They had a loudest truck and loudest air horn competition at Trucktober Fest last year. It was held on private property in an industrial area, not the middle of a community park. I go to a fire truck show in Harrisburg which has a parade from the Farm Show Complex to the River. Every year it is lights, sirens and horns the whole way. This year as we turned onto Front Street there were signs stating "NO SIRENS OR HORNS". I asked the show chairman if there had been a problem. He said "no, but we are in a hospital zone and we want to be invited back". A little common sense and self policing can go a long way.

And then say "Hey!!! You're dumb, and you're an ass!!!! You're a DUMBASS!!!!" Something similar happened at an all-VW car show last weekend. A kid in a newer GTI decides to do a burnout in front of a crowd in an asphalt parking lot. 3rd attempt it made a loud bang and broke an axle. Boy did he look dumb.As for the loud Transtar at Macungie, I was right in front of the truck when he stood on it. Okay, a few raps and it probably would have been fine..... but it went on and on it wasn't cool anymore. Not for that type of show anyway.Now if you build a truck for noise and want to show it off bring it to Englishtown for the Diesel Drags on September 14th (cheap plug) and have at it. Heck you can even race it if you want. There'll be 20 other guys with 6/8/12-71's and 6/8-92's just like yours doing the same thing all day long. Just sayin'. 1 Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

Popular Post 2stacksuperdog Posted August 12, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2013 Its okay to rev it up once or twice but over and over and over again is annoying.
