MIDATLANTIC REGIONAL MEET ALL TRUCK NATIONALS CARLISLE, PA AUGUST 8--10, 2008 INFO HERE!


The chapter leaders of the Mid-Atlantic Region has agreed to hold an FTE G-2-G at next years All Truck Nationals in Carlisle, PA The date is August 8--10, 2008.

Info on the show can be found here, Carlisle Events All-Truck Nationals. Experience The Cars. The People. The Excitement.

We plan on registering as MIDATLANTIC FORD TRUCKS (FTE) club and hopefully be in the running for a club participation award. REGISTER HERE,,, http://store.carlisleevents.com/merc...gory_Code=CAN8

This will involve members paying a registration fee which in turn will qualify us to have a tent and parking provided by the Carlisle show.

There are plenty of hotels and campgrounds available for overnight stays. It is possible to make it a one day trip from where you live for the Saturday of the show. If we have enough members willing to stay overnight, then we would be willing to reserve a block of rooms now to guarantee them for the event.

We need to get 25 registered members to get the free tent and parking for FTE.

What we need from you all now is a show of support for this meet to see how many we will have from FTE that plan to attend.

ALL FTE MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND!

Send me a PM with your email address so we can keep you informed on any updates, hotel/motel accomodations, campgrounds, etc.

This post has also been made in each state chapter of the Mid-Atlantic Region.

I'll be there, Ray - are you going to be able to make it?

 

I am thinking about going, its is a 7 hour drive from Dayton, I would be interested in sharing a ride and splitting the costs , i can take the Lincoln which gets about 27 -28 miles to the gallon, and doing the camping out thing in a tent. all of which will keep costs down to a minimum..

Anyone interested ? We can also just take my truck but it get only about 11 -13 mpg...

 

Steve i am thinking very seriously about going.... this looks like it is going to be a great turn out....

 

It does look that way.

Hope you make it out - it would be good to see you again.

 

BTW everyone , it is only 438 miles to CARLISLE, PA which makes it a seven hour ish drive.

 

well any last minute takers?

I will be leaving to go sometime mid morning, it looks like it is going to be a pretty big event, I think 7 other states from FTE will be represented there as well.
I will be taking the connie for this trip, Sat radio and Gps are set up and ready.

Steve looking forward to having a Barley pop with you and the others.
