The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Old Dominion Stovebolt Society (MD, VA, West VA, DC, DE and PA) Autumn Run to the Devil's Backbone

This past summer we had our first gathering at the Devils Backbone Basecamp. At lunch there was a motion on the floor to hold another gathering in the fall.

For those not aware, the Devil's Backbone is a really cool rustic brewery on the foothills of the Wintergreen Ski resort located in Ashton Va, about 30 miles west of Charlottesville Va.

Many have expressed an interest in joining. The way I see it, the more the merrier!

So let's start throwing out dates, some have expressed interest in going on a Saturday, some on Sunday. When is everyone available???

Any Sunday except for the 27th of this month works me. I will be at the Martinsville cup race.

Any Saturday starting 11-26 is good for me. Then soccer games will be over.

Gentlemen, the more vintage iron the better. However you don't have to bring your truck to come and drink a few beers and talk trucks.

Any Sunday this month works for me as well. Saturdays are eaten up with little league.

Can't wait to take Bill on his first long run. But (he said, sheepishly), could use a safety escort...

Sign me up!!!

Jim

Any Saturday or Sunday in October works for us (except this coming weekend ) November and December weekends are blocked.

I'm in!! This weekend is out, and first weekend in November is out.

I'd like to make it, i just have to get a couple of things fixed and would like to make the drive. I can do it on the weekend of Oct 26, 27 either day. Rainy days are out until i get the passenger window back in.

Alec

Looks like Sunday is preferred. How about either Oct 20 or 27??

Sounds good to me

Either day sounds good. Pick the sunny day,ok?

Either day works for me, but if I had to narrow it to one, I'd take the 27th.

I think that's the sunny one, Alec.

Jim

October 20th works for me.

either

Ok then.

Motion on the floor to set the date for Oct 20th with the 27th being a rain date.

All in favor?

Aye!

AYE!!

Aye!

Aye!

Aye!

Then be there or be [].

I have reached out to the general manager at basecamp to see if we can get a tour, cool pics, free beer, whatever!!!

Basecamp address is:

200 Mosbys Run
Roseland, VA 22967

The Brewpub opens at 11:30.

Those of you coming from MD, or NOVA, lets plan a convoy to the President's place!

The Devil's Backbone

Awesome. I got the calender marked.

'Till then my friends..........

I know the joy is in the journey, and I love you guys, but it better be some GOOD brews for me to go that far!

I'll see what I can do.

The "President's place" is in C'ville?

Victor

Ok, so for this here brew run, what's the plan for us trailer queens? Sweet, do you have an idea on where to leave a trailer? Would it be better to just go right to the DB? Is the cruise part the trip from the Presidents Palace to the DB or do you guys cruise from there and back? Just trying to figure out the plan.

Good question Billy, I'll follow you anywhere.

VERY COOL! I hear the song all the time, have never seen the video.
thanks. that just has to bring on a big grin...

Brother bone! Love it!

I wonder if Stovebolt sponsored that video? Maybe we should approach D Rucker to be our entertainment director.

That's a great vid. I'm not into mainstream country but that tune has a twang to it I like. Those 'Bolts in the video were beautiful. Are those guys anyone we're supposed to know? Are they in the Gallery?

John, I'm sure you have heard about Duck Dynasty. The guy driving the AD is Silas Robertson from the show, that's his nephew Wilily driving the other truck with his wife and daughter. Willy's brother Jace is the door man, at least I think that's what he is,doing there.
They did a great job with the video. If you like the show, Stovebolts, and Darrius Rucker, it's a winner in my book.

Duck Dynasty ... Got it. Not a TV watcher so I've never seen it. I have heard about it, though.

But, to address your question, I doubt those trucks are theirs so I too wonder if they belong to anyone on the site.

Sweet,

HELPPPPPPP!

No start. No idea. Lots of rain. I think Ignition system and/or timing. Need a systematic troubleshoot of the entire ignition path. Bad mood.
What will it take to get Dr. Sweet to make a house call? I can offer beer, home cooked chow, gas money and free child labor.

Nice vid bone.

Re: No start. I think you're still running points in your 283, right? Sometimes moisture will prevent sufficient ignition. I've had some luck with spraying WD-40 (Water Displacement) in the distributor cap. It would be a quick "see if it works" approach.

Otherwise, I'm sure Sweet with come to the rescue. Good luck.

Victor

Sir, Get out the WD-40 and spray the wires all about the system. Why? It wicks H20 away from them. Also, use a hair dryer to dry the distributer inside cap. If it doesn't fire, then I dunno no. Then you especially need Sweet, as I need him here too, as my truck is so much better after he replaced the vacuum advance at Winchester. I want him to tweek it some more, though. Thanks Hambone. V/R, Nick

Bone,

Per our conversation this morning I hope the "dial a crew chief" approach works! Otherwise you will need to trailer it to Long Island this coming week so we can make it purr!

Song on vid was written by Bob Dylan in the 60s but left unfinished until a group call Ole Crow Medicine Show got with Dylan to finish the song in the late 80s Dylan didnt have lyrics and was recorded by OCMS with limited success over 1 million copies but little air play, Rucker picked up a copy of OCMS song and got permission to release it last year. Ole Crow Medicine Show vid on utube is cool and worth watching.

wow if I could wrench as good as I can recall some other wise worthless music info my bolt would be on the road instead of the garage.

Cool background, Duwop. I've watched the video enough that Ms. Peggy has jumped my backside about running up our data plan ...

Brother Bone

Status Report please.

Let's get a head count going. I have a few things cooking. The cab of the GreenMachine will have 2.

Team Pierce - 2

Jr in the 45 GMC
Sr in the 71 Chevy

I'm in!
