FORD TRUCK ENTHUSIASTS RALLY RELAY!
The FTE Rally Relay is a new tradition started with the MidAtlantic chapters meet at the Carlisle Truck Nations in August 2012. FTE has created a "special" FTE banner to be passed from meet to meet, and member to member across FTE land in our Ford trucks. Upon each passing, the person passing off the banner would sign it signifying their contribution to the Rally Relay Banner's journey, and a picture taken of the "pass-off". After the banner is passed along, the FTE member who carried it will then write their story of the drive and post it on FTE.:-X22
If you would like to get in on the tradition, here is how you can:
BASIC RULES FOR THE FTE RALLY RELAY:

The first leg of its jouney started here,,,, https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ay-banner.html
The banner started it's jouney in Los Angeles, CA. Renee, FTE Membership, and member of IB's marketing team, mailed the banner to me for the August 2012 MidAtlantic Chapters meet in Carlisle, PA. Here is a picture of those FTE members who signed the banner. https://i125.photobucket.com/albums/...t/100_0144.jpg |
Well.... to make a long story short... as we left All Truck Nationals in Carlisle, PA, the banner somehow ended up in MY truck (We actually thought it needed to come back to DE to glruff), so, it travelled south 200 miles with us.
As soon as I received the message that Gary Lewis (OK Chapter Leader) was interested in it for his GTG out west, I shipped it out. Not quite a "Driving Adventure", but I'm thinking that if the walls of that USPS truck could talk, the Banner will have some tales to tell!! |
Can't say when I will be needing it, but I will be posting up here when I do. Also, if anyone close to us is going to have it, that'd be nice to get together.

October 27th(unless rain hits then Nov 3rd

OK, Gary Lewis has the banner now for a September, tbd, date. :)

I might be able to do some traveling with the banner!!! I live in southern Illinois!
|
Ok, the banner is read for its next adventure. Who gets it next?

We are having a gtg/tech day in late October. We could use it if no one else has anything coming up

In any event, the Fall 2012 Oklahoma Chapter (the only chapter that is OK) was held at my shop on Sept 15th. We had 10 FTE'ers, and 3 wannabe's, in attendance, with several others having planned to participate but not being able to for various reasons. One of the latter is from Kansas but lives close by so hopes to participate in the future. And, we had one from CO - ctubutis, the moderator. The writeup for the GTG is in the OK Chapter forum at 2012 Fall GTG, and more pictures are in my album under Fall 2012 GTG. But, for your viewing pleasure some are repeated below. As outlined in the OK forum thread, this was really more of a WTG than a GTG:
Here are some of the pics: Chris' bed on its pallet and loaded on the back of Dad's truck: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/p...ctureid=109716 Jwtimme, jstitts, and BigGuy58 working on Ray's axle housing: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/p...ctureid=109699 Bruno2 working on his stake-pocket post project: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/p...ctureid=109710 Jason, on the right, and me working on the exhaust: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/p...ctureid=109707 As for shipping the banner, at this point it looks like Tejas is its next home. But, I'll hold off a bit longer to see if someone else chimes in with an earlier date. |
And OK pics of the banner, what it's all about
