Also there is usually a port a john over by the track........you know IF you bring one in, there is still the possibility of other people coming over and using it.

Spark I may need 220v and Like 30 amps to heat the water. That is if Indy4x4 is still banned and I don't have my diesel fired heater up and running.
So lets plan as if Indy is not going to be their. Do you all want 400 gallons of hot water or 50 gallons at a time? I have a few electric water heaters we can use.
Let me know so I know what to plumb up.

Anyone know if or how many kids are going...? So far I have vondy's son and my four total. My kids are interested in keeping all of the kids busy with games and maybe arts and craft stuff... If you want some "adult" time away from your kids.... Speak up.

I don't know what you really are qualifying as "kids", but Stretch's son (14?) is coming again this year, and I'm leaning towards bringing my oldest (16).

I hope to hear from them tomorrow. I will let you know. It does have 0.9 hours on the meter and it the tags on it from the manufacturer still.

Sounds like a new sig line brewing.

"Hi, I'm EMD567. They call me Porta John."
 
I am not sure why the Porta-Potty discussion is in the Parts Swap thread :???: - maybe because it falls under "BS" ?rofl

Anyway, seriously - This has been brought up before, probably around 2006 or 2007 before most of you guys were there. Someone, (I think it was Michelle from Wisconsin) asked Pete about getting our own Porta-Potty. He said no for some reason. I am not sure why. I assume we could have it delivered-paid for-cleaned-removed all by ourselves with our any involvement from Haspin Acres Management.

I am saying this because we certainly don't want to jeopardize our good rapport with Haspin Management. Do we want to ask for permission, or just do it?

I would gladly chip in as well.
Maybe someone could bring a combination-style padlock. Then we share the combination with only the members in our group. (to keep out the Hoi polloi)
Additionally, maybe we could deploy some camo netting (properly supported, of course), or tenting to conceal the Porta-Potty(s) from outsiders' view.

I'm thinking we could all just use Gimpys deuce cab as a john for the weekend, he'd never notice the difference.

There is some behind the scenes discussion of a possible "Head" of the rally.(grand poobah)

This rally has been developed over several years by many members with a lot of effort and strong morals, and our group has a reputation to uphold both with the park and the public. With the recent growth, this needs to be reconsidered and as a group, we all need to agree on how we will act and portray ourselves.

I'm sure more will be posted about this soon enough.
