The exec board has been discussing what to do this year for a national meet. The consensus is that rather than have just 1 big meet, on 1 weekend, in 1 location that only a handful of members can make it to, we will allow each division to host their own meet. Planned and put on by the members of their respective divisions.
This will offer multiple meets to the members of the club, held on multiple different days, in multiple different locations. Members with nothing but time because they're retired (Cough...CHASE...Cough) would likely be able to attend multiple divisional meets. Others who may have other obligations when their division hosts a meet, may be able to attend a neighboring division's meet instead.
There will be a small "club fee" for hosting the meet that each participant will pay. This will get you: A club designed T-shirt (Design to be determined), Entry into a raffle, and it will make your divisional meet an official DRTC Function that the club's insurance policy will extend and cover should anything unthinkable happen. (not as critical for "piggy back events" like setting up a meet at Carlisle, MATS, Nats, etc. but if anyone plans their own stand alone meet, this will be crucial).
Our goal is that this helps to motivate folks to participate, get out with their trucks, meet up with the guys who are closest to them.
