Official 2017 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 18-22, 2017

And as soon as Ferro builds the Ga. Rally Railroad, SS will get the railroad forum that everyone desperately wants......................

We have had full operation of former military railroad equipment at the NC rally, come on Clinto it's time!

one more thing, I know i missed, but were is the paper work to register. ??/

The rally attorney is on vacation, when he gets back in a couple weeks, I am going to schedule a sit down with him and see if we can post the forms online and let people do them ahead of time. I'll post in this thread when I get an answer.

If we can't do this, then you'll fill out the paperwork when you get there.

In terms of pre-registration, if you wish to rent a cabin, rv or rv spot from D-town, you need to contact them and pre-register. Otherwise, just show up.

Wasn't there pre-existing track on the NC property?

We need Ferro to show up with about 500' of rail and the associated hardware, we need someone to loan us their wrecker or knuckleboom and we need some strong back/weak mind type folks to lay enough track to get folks from registration to the MKT and maybe over to the swap meet boss' area.

That makes it a little more challenging, but it will make the railroad forum a far more satisfying experience.

Hmmmm.....

Does that mean you've been profiled as part of the riff-raff and NEED TO BE CLUSTERED, or are they reducing their liabilities and isolating you from potentials that are unspeakable and should NEVER be discussed in a family-friendly forum environment?!?!?!?

Inquiring Mimes want to know!

Look on the bright side they could make us riff Raff go deeppp into the woods. So we can't be seen. Nope probably afraid Gimpy will set the woods on fire.

Hi folks. There are 69 days remaining before this excellent event. Make sure you have a funds plan for this event. $10 a day gets for the next 69 days gets you a nice little stash. Even a dollar a day would cover a weekend meal ticket. If that is too much, volunteering to serve others at the MKT can keep a full belly all weekend.

PM your brooms, load your trailers and empty your shelves of excess parts. Save space for a few pieces of firewood. We would lke to be able to host a fire, welcoming beacon across from the registration tent this year. Please, no metal or nail embedded wood.

Savea few bucks for tee shirts too. This pays the bills associated with the rally so a good cause.

Make sure you have a reservation if you need a spot with power or a cabin/ trailer.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

Oh yeah! I am just about ready for the rally I gotta drop a transmission in the Green machine and it will be ready to show up and show out. I booked my cabin a couple weeks ago. I can't wait to see all my friends again even though I've been kinda quiet on the forums lately.

 

[michigandon]

Really hoping to get the W400 put together enough to bring it down.

I'm going to bow out if I cannot successfully pull that off.

Blue tarp, it works on houses with hurricane damage.

Not to hijack the camaraderie and friendly banter, but from a lurking wannabe Deuce owner, how difficult would it be to sweet talk somebody into teaching me how to drive a Deuce at the rally? I have always wanted one, and I'm approaching the financial freedom to finally be able to own one, but I've never driven a Deuce before and frankly, I'm a little nervous. I drove one of the really big U haul trucks before and frankly the size scared the **** out of me, but I thought learning in a controlled environment would be the perfect start before trying to procure a truck and then drive the beast home with zero experience. Any takers. . . er. . . teachers out there?

For the record, I'm 38 years old, not a 17 year old wild child. LOL I won't hurt your babies, I promise.

I don't think you'll have an issue finding someone you can talk into this. If so, come find me at the registration tent.
