Popular Post PeterMack Posted September 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2014 I went up to Kasson this weekend for the Big Iron Classic in Kasson MN. This is turning into one of my favorite shows.Its a non award show and I think that is one of the reasons so many trucks show up because these guys don't haveto worry about it turning into a polishing contest. Bring em as, is polished or not, all are welcome. Were a few Macksthere this year, some same as last but my favorite this year was the Wayne transport Value Liner. They are an allPete fleet now with a really nice yard just up the road from Kasson but they put together a nice old Mack. The CATpowered Michaeletz Superliner was there again and also ran in the truck pulls. No body brought the R-model watertruck, that was just there for the track, just a water truck. Saw Jakebrake's BCR but I did not see Jake. Truck lookedgood though. All told I think there was about 450 trucks this year, maybe more and 73 ran in the truck pulls. 13 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37001-macks-and-brand-xrs-at-the-big-iron-classic-kasson-mn-2014/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PeterMack Posted September 8, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2014 Saw a few GMC Generals at Kasson this year. Was thinking JT Formula might like these. Even had a long hood and a shorthood parked side by side. The black truck ran in the pulls. Had a screaming Detroit in it. Did ok. 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37001-macks-and-brand-xrs-at-the-big-iron-classic-kasson-mn-2014/#findComment-259054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ws721 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 That yellow and orange General looks familiar. Is that from Fl? Someone down that way sent pics of an extended hood General he built. Just wondering if it found its way north Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

Popular Post PeterMack Posted September 8, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2014 Here are a few of my Brand X favorites. The red Pete had a KTTA Cummins in it. Very custom. Tow Mater had some serious HP under thehood, was a pulling truck. Liked the big A-car. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37001-macks-and-brand-xrs-at-the-big-iron-classic-kasson-mn-2014/#findComment-259060 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Brian, Thanks for posting the pictures. I was looking for you. Just had a suspicion you might be there. This was the first year that I didn't bring the B 61 and I don't think there was any there. I noticed more people look at the B61 than the BCR. By looking at your truck pull pictures, we were not far from you in the stands. I'm glad Dennis had his H67. We need more older ones to off set some of that chrome.

Popular Post Green Dash Posted September 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2014 Looks like it was great show. I like the "come as you are" theme-makes you feel as if you actually went back in time.Brian, Thanks for posting the pictures. I was looking for you. Just had a suspicion you might be there.

JakeI'll bet the BCR would get at least as much attention as the B if everyone knew what they were looking at 3 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37001-macks-and-brand-xrs-at-the-big-iron-classic-kasson-mn-2014/#findComment-259133 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 GREAT PICS! MANY THANKS! WHAT'S THE SPECS ON A KTTA? I.E. HORSEPOWER/CUBES? BIG MOTOR! I think the KTTA is 1100 cubic inches. TTA is for twin turbo aftercooled. I think they are around 800 to 900hp. Don't knowif those are exact numbers but I believe it is close to that.

JakeI was wondering if you were by me. I saw a gal in a wheelchair that had a "Spirit" jacket on the back of her chair and I thought you might be aroundbut when I looked I didn't see you. Figured you might have been in the pits since you had your truck registered. When I got up for beer soda I wentout the other way. Was probably 30 feet from you and didn't know it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37001-macks-and-brand-xrs-at-the-big-iron-classic-kasson-mn-2014/#findComment-259151 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Brian, Did you see the two gasoline tanker trucks from Tomah? I know they are working trucks but don't know how they keep them looking like that.
