Thanks for the ideas. Like I said we want to hear any ideas you can come up with. As to 1 day or 2 days what would you like to see?? I'm definently open to a camp out if thats what everyone wants . We probably can't do the burn out contest, because the places we are looking at doing it don't have any pavement.

Well it depends on where it is, If its a distance, 2 day would be better, but, actually even if its close 2 days would be cool, and camping, That sounds like a good time, and eventfull, think of all the truck stories around a big campfire, LMAO.

I vote 2 days. Truck show, Bikini wash 
Barbeque/Tailgating challenge. See if we can get a dealer to display a couple of new trucks. How about a golf tournement? Whole in one wins a new F250?? YEH!
Start collecting deposits from us, to get a firm idea how many we can get.

I'd be proud to be on the committee.
Are we still giving thought to a NE FTE logo? It might be cool if we could agree on something and print up some shirts for sale. My wife can pull together anything, but I want to give her some ideas.

I'm in.
Just got the breaks fixed so no more warped rotor syndrome from the loose caliper.
What I have done in the past with a differant group is just find a centraly located member with parking & space that didn't mind having a few guests. Some of those involved crashing in spare bedrooms or camping in the back yard.
Also.... This may go against everything but the other group also had little mini meets(so to say) where they would go to lunch somplace(invade a restaurant) than just hang out and talk in an emply(or mostly empty) parking lot and just chat it up and check out everyones cars/trucks. Other times would be a local meet at say hooters some night and just hang out..Nothing though badly about those not able to make it that lived far away and than those people far away would do somthing on there own as well if they wanted. You get the idea.... Its just a few thoughts.

well what sort of get together are you guys talking about.. Talking about taking over a wal-mart parking lot or go rootin off road
I Live up in Maine and the 4 of July weekend there is a huge mud-run/ campout type deal they have monster trucks mud runs burn out etc
heres the website for more info http://www.newengland4x4jamboree.com/
more ideas would be maybe a dyno if at all possible id also enjoy a B-BQ
campouts with large trucks is always good
im deft interested depending on where and when of course and id deft think there should be T-shirts and or stickers i really cant draw so im not good at supplying ideas
