Dear Dr. BA-DA-BING:BA-DA BA-DA BING BANG RALLYMay 22, 2016This was the second year for this event. For information concerning the origin of the event and other particular items concerning this event, refer to the After Action Report for 2015.SUBJECT: After Action Report (2016)
Lessons learnedS1 Personnel / administration
There was one vehicle that arrived later. Although the vehicle was expected, it did not register at the Registration Tent and was not located in the parking lot – most likely a communications issue. It did join the “Cruise” later. Space (or the lack of it) is becoming an issue. There was an increase of 20% in the vehicles from the previous year. This does not include the static displays. Although this is a good problem to have, it is still a problem needing to be solved.

I will still keep you on my email distribution list - just so you will know what you missed.Hopefully some year I won't be tied up with a mv gathering at the same time and will be able to venture across the state to yours.
How many hours drive is it to cross the State of Iowa?Hopefully some year I won't be tied up with a mv gathering at the same time and will be able to venture across the state to yours.
Google Maps says about 4 1/2 hours. That is, if you take Interstate 80. That would be the East / West route. Our interstate speed limit is 70 mph, but my observation is that the "out of state" folks sure seem to be in a hurry to get through the state. I set my cruise at 70 and they pass me like I am standing still.How many hours drive is to cross the State of Iowa?
There is no registration REQUIRED, but I do like to know who is coming. It makes local advertisement and lunch/headcount easier. (I provide a free meal for the Owner/Operators. )I am looking forward to checking out this year's event. I am trying to recruit a few others from Omaha & surrounding areas to join me.
Is there a pre registration required?
Have you got a buddy that will drive it for you - and you can follow along in your car? If not, just come in your car and bring pictures of the Deuce. PM sent.Interested... I just picked up a 1970 M35A2 that seems to run pretty good. I'd like to get it out for a little weekend trip, but a deuce isn't exactly a good road trip machine for a disabled vet with a bad back.
I replied to your email with a suggestion/option.Does anyone have trouble finding a buddy who wants to drive their Deuce? If so, you need better buddies! Yes, I'll share driving duties with a buddy or three.
I started putting out posters today.I am working to recruit some additional members from our local 'group'....so far I have 4 that want to attend but 2 of them were already at last year's event. I should be able to convince another couple of them...
When do you want the rsvp's by?
Looking forward to this event!
PM sent.I will try to attend, 3 hours or so from where I live. Hope to recruit a couple others as well.
