I've been there a number of times. They have a pretty good show. Make sure that you get one of the Italian Sausage Sandwiches. They are the best! Keep in mind also that NHIS does NOT sell alcohol. You must bring your own in. About the biggest cooler allowed is a double Playmate. However, with careful packing and no ice, that little baby will tote 19 beers! Get ice at the track.Where are your seats?

I hope you have a great time.

NHIS looks like it's a fun, good racin' track.

Now Friz. It's gonna be pretty hard to get 19 beers past security when you're 20. (or is that advice for next year? LOL)

Well, I have my own opinion on what should be done to NHIS, but I will keep them to myself.

I hope ya have fun.

LOL, Kyle. I hear ya. People up here were pretty devistated when all those crashes happened.  There was much talk about the discontinuation of Winston races at NHIS. This spring they "resurfaced" the track.  A prescision laser guided grinder took 7 days to grind the track flat(down to 1/16th of an inch!!).  They then sealed the track.  A few races have happened since then, and so far no compaints.  I guess we'll see what happens this year.

I think Kyle may be refering to the North Wilksboro deal in his reference to NHIS.

That is a major part of my beef with the track.  That and the incredibly boring, follow the leader, stay on the bottom or get freight trained, piss poor excuse for racing.  It is a great track for the modifieds, but not WC cars.  So much for keeping my opinion to myself.  LOL

      I will be one of those "blinded". One, I like new shiny things. Two, I've never kept any of them beyond the 3/36. Three, I don't finance anything. Four, yep, it's a waste of money....so,what? I'm doing my part of keeping automotive industry going and keeping my neighbors, most of whom are in it, employed. 😉      By the way this is the "signature... ¬

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
