Tom, you beat me to it. The Central PA Mountain Truckstock is Sept 20, 21, 22 in Howard, pa at the Bald Eagle State Park. Allentown is only 160 miles away. It would be great to see this black beauty in person and get to meet you. Search for the thread "2018 Central PA Truckstock, sign up now" for more info.

I wished I lived a few thousand miles closer to you - I'd love to drive that everywhere, "just for you"!
