Guys - This is a reminder that the GTG is one month away from today - Sept 13th. But, it is also going to be a swap meet. Go to this thread to read about it in the 80/86 forum.

If you are coming and need directions please PM me as I don't want to advertise where I live to the lurkers.

 

Here's an offer from David/1986F150six:

 

I have a race that weekend, it's the last weekend for the bracket series I race in.

 

Bummer!

 

I guess this is a northeastern OK meet? I came up to one around '06, it was a good time. Wish I could make another, I'll see what I can do. I'm actually one of the FTE Central OK meet coordinators. A few years ago, we had a bunch of good meets at different locations, but only a handful of us actually attended regularly. It would be cool to do again sometime.

 

No, it isn't a NE OK meet, for several reasons. First, I'm the FTE OK chapter leader and am billing it as a state-wide meet. And this will be probably the fourth state-wide meet I've held. But, I didn't even know there were "meet coordinators" in OK. When FTE recruited me to be the chapter leader they didn't say anything about there being other Okies involved in any coordination. So, I'm thrilled to find that there are others who have designated roles in coordination. Do you know who else has a role? And what does your role constitute? And who "crowned" you? I ask in order to find all the players that I've not known about, so please forgive my questioning.

Second, it isn't a NE gig since we've had several folks from all over Oklahoma to previous meets, inc some from OKC on multiple occasions. Further, we've had Chris/ctubutis, the moderator, to several (3?) previous ones and he's from Denver. And this time we have one from MS that will be here and two from southern KS that plan on it.

Having said all that, I hope you can make it. I'd sure like to meet you and talk about coordination - as well as trucks.

 

Years Back when Stan (Traxxis) was chapter leader, we had a series of votes including area coordinators, chapter logo, and probably other things. I'm sure it's still in here somewhere. Myself and a another central member (ranger240) were appointed as OKC meet coordinators since we both showed interest. He sold his Ford and hasn't been on much since. I obviously haven't been active much either, and really don't expect to still have that role. I still have Ford trucks, not the same ones, but still Fords. Lol. I'm Glad to hear its being geared statewide. Hopefully it keeps on growing.

 

I do hope you can come on the 13th. I'd like to meet you as well as talk about what has been done, what's worked, etc.

 

If there were Meets near Okc I would go lol.

 

Organize one. I did it for years before I became the chapter leader.

 

Lol I don't know how many people would actually show up for something a 16 year old organized.

 

If I'm available I'd come. And there are some OKC-area members that might as well.

 

Alright, I will make a post on the ok chapter soon about it.

 

I suggest doing it some time in the future. Actually, Spring would be good as mine is always in the Fall. That way they'd be roughly 6 months apart and some of the guys that come to this one would be ready to come to yours.

 

sounds good I will look at starting something around April.
