Well, 20 degrees is ok, cause I got a heater, 95 isn't cause I don't have an AC.. LOL

The whole insurance verification thing is currently a problem too.

I think everyone needs at least one wrecker. Pretty cool for parades, towing other vehicles, and general crane/winch use. Did you get everything running on yours okay?

Tackettr has been in contact with the organizers and has the paperwork. He will need a copy of your insurance verification.

If we can get 20 guys and 13 trucks to meet in the middle of December, when the tempature was 20 degrees, we should be able to get that many in July.

Currently we only have 3 trucks signed up.

What time does it start?

We are running both of our trucks and a 105 for the American Legion in Crescent on the 4th mid day...

The first float/entry line up at 0800 and leaves the UCO Campus at 0845. They should reach downtown Edmond at 0900. I would say the parade lasts 2 hrs. So we should be done by 1100.

Here are the rules. Please pay attention to #7. No object are to be thrown from the trucks (no candy....)

Hope you can join us.

Andy.

Hey Coyote, M813A1 and myself will be at the rescheduled parade in Nicoma Park on June 20th. You are welcome to join us.

It will be a whole 1/2 mile long parade. Anything to get to drive the trucks....LOL


City of Nicoma Park - Events

Or there is an event it El Reno this weekend. They close Route 66 and only allow old car to cruise for three hours. Also they have a burnout for anyone interested.

UPDATE: I just recieved a post card from the LibertyFest Parade Committee, it says our application has been "accepted as submitted". Just to let everyone know, I put us down for 10-14 vehicles and only submitted my proof of insurance. However, I did write a note saying that each vehicle will have proof of insurance.

So, we seem to be good to go!!!! We may look at an initial rally point before we move to the prestaging area. More to come later!!!

I think we have 10 trucks confirmed. Lets see if we can get 15.

Only 2 weeks away.

The parade is just a few days away! Does anyone have room in their truck for a couple of passengers? I think I have a few of the OKC Thunder Girls talked into wearing some camo bikinis. Can anyone help? I can't haul them all.
