    New Halftrack project!

    Don, thanks to you and others we boasted seven halftracks at the Camp Delta meet at Tower Park last April. Most we've ever seen by several. So we set a goal to have ten at the 2016 MVPA Convention. I expect it will be difficult to get all your equipment to that show, but I'm getting the...

    Camp Delta at Tower Park Huey Helo Appearance in CA this April - Need Donations!

    The EMU-309 UH-1H Huey has not appeared at the Camp Delta meet in CA for many years. This magnificent tribute to assault helicopter companies during the Vietnam war really added a lot.

    2014 Camp Delta at Tower Park Meets

    There's also a "Delta Loop" run to the west. This road goes past some marinas and restaurants. It could include a trip up to Isleton, a small delta town. For that matter there is a loop north and west of Isleton that can take you on the two cable ferries across rivers. We'd like to see someone...

    2014 Camp Delta at Tower Park Meets

    Good idea. We could resurrect that road run. A lot of people liked it and it was a nice display in their parking lot. Good food too! All we need is a coordinator to draw up a map or driving instructions and lead it. I can help find a good time on the schedule and advertise it in MVCC News and...

If it has an intricate structure of aluminum "turbulators" in the charge-air tubes which transfer heat to the outer structure so it can be removed by outside air, they are efficient. A good...

    More Power From NHC 250 in M939 Series Trucks With Allison Transmissions

    Here is some basic diesel info for those coming from the gas world or just not familiar with diesels. They are the opposite of a gas engine in that more fuel = more power and heat. You turn up the fuel to get power, and it will run hotter and smoke more. With a gas engine, more fuel makes it...

    How about a California Steel Soldiers Rally at a great spot?

    Bishop is a very nice and scenic area. Wife and I stayed overnight last week. A stop at the Petite Pantry for a meal is highly recommended. It's not what newbies expect, and the owner is a real character. The good and bad thing about the eastern Sierra Nevada area is it's so hard to get to for...
