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. August 9th will be our "Official FTE National Rally" meet.

Info on the show can be found here, http://www.carsatcarlisle.com/truck/index.asp

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

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.

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'm officially a member of midatlantic now. Well according to Carlisle anyway.

Yep I pulled the trigger.

 

Wow Dan...you make us feel unloved...you'll go to Pennsylvania...but you won't join us in Boston!!! Is it something we said???

 

Thanks Dan look forward to meeting with you.

 

I haven't done a weekend trip in a few years now.

And no you said nothing. It's just that a lot of sh@t has come down recently and I'm pretty strapped for cash right now. I get to save up for 6 months and get her to save up as well. And thats just for the gas. I am also crossing my fingers I get a call back for an interview on a new job.
If I have to stay here I will probably be bald in 2 months and will be holding down at least 2 jobs if not 2 additional jobs.

 

I hear you on the strapped for cash. My compensation is commission based and with the business the way it is...has been on a downward spiral for the last three years. Combine that with the cost of everything going up and up...well it isn't pretty.

Good luck with the job search!!!

 

Yeaah really what the hell......His lodging in PA will be dirt cheap he is staying in my camper

 

Um..... Well.....
For this to be a "true" vacation we will be getting a hotel room.
I'm also headed out on Wednesday to check out Hershey and/or Gettysburgh.

In case you have missed it, the info for registering for the Carlisle All Truck Nationals is posted in your chapter as well as the MidAtlantic Region. I personally put up the money to reserve a "tent" so we will have parking on the fair grounds for all of us. In order for me to get my money back, I need you to register.
