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, http://www.carlisleevents.com/ce/index.asp

We plan on registering as MIDATLANTIC FORD TRUCKS - FTE "club" and hopefully be in the running for a club participation award.

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 Pennsylvania say on 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.

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

Id be interested... but as of right now, we havent even turned one bolt to start a truck project ('55 F100, '54 F-250, '57 F250) However, this would give me a motivational "push" to get something started. My holdup was trying to finish my streetrod first... but hey, things change. Hmm a 8-9 month build off? I smell a challenge!.......or maybe thats just me..... cuz I havent.... showered yet........

 

i'll probably be there anyway. sounds like a good idea to get fte recognized

 

I'll be there also. I'm not sure about the overnight arrangements yet.

Thanks for being on top of this George.

C'mon guys and girls, let's show some home state spirit.

 

Since its a local trip only 3 hours. I wish I would have kept my vendor spot now. How much for T shirts

I have convinced the wife we are in! Will be pulling the trailer up, can anyone recommend a camp ground close by? Will there be parking at the tent site or just general parking? Any word on what the registration fee will be, and will it include the entrance fee also?

HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL!

 

That's great Jimmy,

Hopefully we will have a campsite reserved where all Mid-Atlantic campers can camp together. MD chapter had posted some recommendatins in their thread.

Registration is around $40, which includes 2 people, parking at the Mid-Atlantic tent site. No other fees that I am aware of for the weekend.

Happy New Year to you also!
