There is still time to make plans and register for the ALL TRUCK NATIONALS that will be held in CARLISLE, PA on AUGUST 8 --10, 2008.

The MID-ATLANTIC REGION of FTE (NY, DE, MD, PA and NJ) will be hosting the FIRST REGIONAL MEET at this event.

This looks like it will be a fun event and even better because we will be able to meet others that we only type at here on the boards. Unfortunately due to a prior commitment that I am not able to get out of, I will be unable to attend.

I have included some important information for those that plan on attending. I have also sent a PM to those that have previously stated that they would be attending, but have not registered as of yet.

You can find all of the information at this link,,, https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/67...ic-region.html or in a similar thread in one of the regional chapters.

We have a tent reserved with enough parking places to accomodate all who attend. No hunting for a parking place, you drive in the show field and look for the MidAtlantic banner.

When registering use MIDATLANTIC FORD TRUCK CLUB - FTE as the CLUB. Registration can be completed online at the Carlisle site link,,, http://store.carlisleevents.com/merc...gory_Code=CAN8

Registration is good for two people for all weekend.

We have a few from West Virginia coming, one from New Hampshire, and one from Australia by way of Southern California.

There is a club award for the BEST CLUB THEME:

The "Coolest Club Hangout" award will be presented on Saturday morning to the club with the most creative club tent display. The "Coolest Club Hangout" award will be a banner for your club to proudly display at the current Carlisle show and take with you to display at all the other shows your club attends in the future! Bring something to help decorate the "Club Hangout".

New this year for Carlisle ATN\'s will be:

Truck Tug-O-War
Ford vs. Chevy, Dodge vs. Import…

Ford vs. Chevy, Dodge vs. Import…we’ll battle it out and see who has the most powerful truck in the tug-o-war. We’ll back two trucks together, tie their frames together with a long steel bar and see who pulls who! This is a new addition to the Carlisle line-up so you don’t want to miss it.

One other note from Toni, the Carlisle folks are considering having prizes of pre-paid fuel cards for randomly selected participants.

Also with the help of Adrian, hopefully the site owners will be supplying some goodies to the first 50 members registered by 07/21/2008.

We are also working on a trophy for the MidAtlantic chapter which has the MOST members from their state registered!

Maryland and Delaware is working on having a welcome G2G on Friday night, August 8th.

Those are just a few of the fun events planned for the weekend. Hope you can join us for the weekend, or even one day. It is a great opportunity to meet some of your online friends.

If you need additional information and can not find it in the threads, email George at glruffde@yahoo.com and the information will be provided.

Hope the see you at the meet!

 

im hoping to make it there as long as the wife is ok... im still in limbo with her ill have to let ya know

 

Okay has anyone else that stated that they were planning on attending made their registration yet and got the information to George (glruff) ???? I sent pm's to those individuals and have not heard anything back.

 

Just a FYI in case you did not see it in the ATN thread.

 

I really wish I could have come, but it isn't going to happen this year . Beside the fact that the employer keeps a year-long record of week-end availability and a different family member's (not my wife this time) dire health issues, I cannot be away for that long.

I'm really sorry, gang.

 

Dave, I am sorry to hear about the family member's health issues and wish the best for them. You are in the same boat as Carl and myself for not being able to attend the ATN's.

Hopefully next year we can get a good showing from NY.
