Sean have you heard any more on this? i haven't checked out that thread in a while. I would love to beat up on some rams:burnout:

[ChrisR/T]

I'm in for both events, I posted it on the local board I read to Delaware too.

[mtlcafan79]

I pinged the Ram guys again and asked someone to get in touch with me. This will be our Fall meet. I really hope it comes together.

[Special Ed's R/T - Yaaaay]

That sounds pretty cool


Let's go, you get that thing registered yet ? How's Ash feeling ? I may need to make another run down there this weekend. You want to come up for Cruise night on Satruday. Show starts @ 3 120+ trophies. $10 entry fee, and all money goes to the local food pantry for the poor folks.

I'll have to make sure not to take my truck apart for the rest of the year, LOL. The new pup has put an end to all R/T projects this year anyway.

[ChrisR/T]

I can't believe you missed Carlisle for a dog. Someone should pull your man card. ASAP. :jester:

yes, smoke would be nice

[bad360rt]

Sounds like a cool show, I'm gonna try to make it.

[RTchas]

I talked with the guy who is working out the details yesterday at LX M&G he said if I can get 20 R/T's it would be our own class with 1st 2nd 3rd place trophies and a space for us all to park in.This is a tall order being we can't get 20 trucks a Carlisle anymore! But unlike Carlisle this one is for a great cause and we should not have to pay $50 to get in! So check your Calendars and Please! Show some support for the Men and Women that protect this great Nation and have made great sacrifice doing so.

[RTchas]

Here is the latest from organizer.
From Lx forums:Ok no reg needed when you show up mostly me but I will be needing some help hint. You will be given a dash card and directed where to park. I am given the car club choice one of three was to be judged now remember this is for fun. 1 peoples choice a table in front of the 1st car with ballets and a table at the end so they can put it in. 2 The club does there own ballet or 3 Get a vet to be a judge.

There are no flyers just copy and post my first post anyone that has any questions can call me 215-221-2297 if they have any questions. Reason I did'nt do flyers is because I am scared of too many car may show up. I do need a truck and import club and we have all we need of the troops to see. Of course any car can show up and I feel good that we have a class for them to join.

Lasty any service men that are doing guard duty on this date can also call me and I will make a call to your commanding officer to get you here. Lasty if anyone knows were I can get 3 or 4 tents 20X20 or 30X30 I will have all covered for the event.

[BackRoadsR/T]

im going to try and make this show. i need to meet up with some fellow R/T owners.

Guys I want to thank you so very much for showing up. You brought some very nice trucks and it made me miss my 06 Dakota Quad cab!

Anyway I want to high light RTchas.

He is a vet of the current wars are county are in and because he is he was subject to putting his name in for the SRT Experience. If you guys did not know he owns a Charger SRT8. And he did the SRT experience this year already in englishtown. Anyway he being a lucky guy won the $500 certificate to do it again! And what did he do he refused it so another Vet could be lucky to do it. This shows me the type of person he is that I am sure you guys already know. So with that said I want to give him a very special thanks in front of you guys! If you guys want a Magnum SRT8 to ever come you any of your events just let me know and I will be there to show the support you guys showed me!

Semper Fi Brother

[ChrisR/T]

Sad that I missed this. I had to take care of the girlfriend/girlfriends car.

Acura's are a PITA. Dealing with a wedding the night before was even worse. Finding a screw lodged in the distributor of said Acura causing an irritating, nerve plucking, month long misfire drives a man batty.

[BackRoadsR/T]

Finally got the pics i took uploaded. Sorry it took so long, my camera was giving me shit. Had a lot of fun. Enjoy!
