Maine Rally 2010

[nk14zp]

I plan on bringing the bobbed deuce that I bought off beaubeau last year.

nhdiesel, No problem with the wife, Mine might like someone to talk to other than us guys

Im trying to make a little more room available this year as well. Had some fill hauled and should get some more so it wont be too crowded.

I do have more space available if we have a larger group this year......

Bobbed deuces are welcome as long as I can test them out

 

[nhdiesel]

Injector line finally arrived yesterday, so I swapped that out and this Deuce is running like a champ. So far I have unofficial approval from the wife, so its looking good.

Just to aid in the planning...how does this rally work? I assume we bring everything to be self-sufficient (tent, food, etc.) Is there a fee/donation to cover your expenses, time, land, etc.?

I still have to talk to my father to see if he's going. And looking at the calendar, I guess the other Deuce isn't going to be bobbed by then...I'll be lucky to have the engine replaced at the rate I'm going!

EDIT: I talked to Beaubeau earlier and he said he'll probably be there as well. I have no idea what he would be bringing with him. Maybe my 2nd truck if I can get a chance to get it done.

Mike and all others going,
Am I supposed to be ready to provide breakfast Saturday morning or Sunday?
I'm happy to do Sat.
I need a head count though, so post up if you will be there for breakfast Saturday morning.

OK, the basic plan is, there is no plan. We gather, talk, trade, eat, Fix the trucks for the return trip, but have fun doing it. That’s not to say we can’t do a convoy for the fun of it, or something else. There is generally a bon-fire Saturday night. May do one Friday as well.

Camping is rather rustic, so bring something to sleep on, in or under. Bring food, drinks etc.
If it rains, I will open up a bay in the shop as I did last year, so we can be dry. I will provide a grill, and electric skillet to cook on.

I've swindled BC into being in charge of Saturday breakfast. So give him a heads up with numbers of people so we can be prepared.

We gather Starting Friday and generally pack up Sunday morning. If you have questions or get lost on the trip my cell is 207-944-7706

The address is
304 Eaton Rd
Exeter, Me 04435

There is no charge; however I may ask for a voluntary donation to help cover BC’s breakfast and improvements for next year.

Feel free to bring things to swap, trade, barter, etc. it only adds to the fun.

Sounds great guys, keep chimeing in so we can have a good headcount. The more the better.

 

[carguy455]

I sure hope it doesn't rain again this year !

 

[ASTFU]

I should have a TC with me

 

[nhdiesel]

I thought I was going to have to duck out due to financial reasons, but now it looks like I'll make it. but my wife won't be able to, she has to work. I need to get hold of Beaubeau, hopefully we can head up Friday afternoon. That breakfast by Boatcarpenter sounds good. Guess I have to get a plate for the truck now...been using it locally and haven't bothered lol.

Hey Jim,
I got a PM from Beaubeau saying that he had to go to a going away party for a friend going in the Marines on Sat. Said he might head up late Sat after the party though.
I will be on the road Friday but as yet I'm not sure of my departure time. Somewhat flexible. Possibly could hook up on the way

[cranematt]

If all goes well i should be showing up saturday morning.

 

[nk14zp]

Jim i got the same PM as BC.

 

[nhdiesel]

I talked with him earlier today, but i was still going to head up tomorrow. But I got a call this evening and got an emergency job changing a clutch tomorrow, so the plans changed. Sorry, but I guess I won't be making it. Maybe if the clutch goes smoothly maybe Saturday, but if I had to give a definite yes/no answer I'd have to say no.
