Does anyone remember if the power at B7 (close to registration) is 30 or 50A?

Clinto, don't forget to post up the waivers and such. If folks bring them completed, it would streamline things.

I'm working on them today. The rally has used my personal attorney for the last few years and that's been at a greatly reduced rate (i.e. I have essentially been paying for the rally's legal services on my account) but his practice is going through some partner changes and critical shortfalls and so that means our stuff kept getting pushed further and further back (i.e. the combining of the D-town and LRP waivers) so we've retained a new attorney who is going to do the waivers but at a higher cost.

I'm literally in front of my PC getting all the stuff to send to him. Hopefully I'll have the combined waiver next week and I'll post it here, the rally Facebook page and D-town's site. D-town has a new events coordinator, so how well the integration between rally mgmt. and D-town staff will work out is unknown.

At the last minute (Monday-Tuesday ish) of the rally week, I'll email a list of all the people who have pre-waivered to all the principals and I'll have hard paper copies with me Wednesday morning.

Donations & a charity sale are great ideas, I'll be happy to throw in some funds to help.

Is this going to happen, if so I have some 1/35 model kits nib and some in mid build if anybody is interested.

 

[microjeep]

Ron I'd give them a look

 

[Valence]

I'm sad to report that due to work I will not actually be able to attend. But I WILL be following for your pictures, videos, and stories!

 

[Squirt-Truck]

Almost TIME......

OK y'all, I won't have any TVs to donate for the raffle this year but I think it's important for fellers to do whatever they can to help out with expenses, (attorney, insurance...etc.,).

I was going through some stuff the other day and found one of those impact wrenches that plugs into the 24V truck system (it works) and a brand new 24V solar battery charger still in the box. Also, I have a set of steps that I THINK may go to an MKT that I found in a scrap pile at a local facility.

I'm gonna donate that stuff for the raffle and may find a few more goodies to bring along.

Remember folks...if ya don't need/want it....someone else probably does so bring it along and donate it. NOTE: NO kitchen garbage, children, sick puppies, wives/husbands....you get the idea.

PB, I'm going to buy you a steak dinner this year. Lee and the boy's didn't make the trip last year due to illness but I remember Briggs eating about half your steak in 2016.

Ron, do you have any of the M923A1 "BigFoot" kits? I'd like to build one with my boys.

May have, I know that I have one that I started to build a m52 from, I may have another.

I don't know how long I will be there this year, finally got a lease on a railroad and have been busier than a quadriplegic that has fallen off a boat getting it back into shape.

 

[SCM35A2]

I plan to arrive at the event on Thursday, hopefully before noon & can only stat until Friday evening. Plans changed for a family event that was scheduled sooner & were having it on Saturday 10-20 for my 94 year old Grandmother that I do not want to miss. Anyone who I have spoken to about buying parts from you please message me so we can exchange contact info. I want to make sure I get with everyone & get them paid. Thanks guys. Donny

It's about TIME...

I would have gladly let him eat the whole thing. Briggs is my main man!!

 

[sandcobra164]

PB, He probably won't disappoint you this go around either. Briggs is getting bigger and eats more as well. He's almost as tall as Tony now.

What does that mean? What does a lease on a railroad look like? Genuinely curious over here...

 

[4671 Hybrid]

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask but are there any NC folks with the capability/desire to tow a M1083 back to NC with them after the rally? I'm overseas at the moment but will be back in Feb '19 and if my NC storage is out of your way, can come pick it up from your place...

 

[Ferroequinologist]

I half own a railroad company and we just leased 11 miles of track that has been out of service for awhile, we are whipping it back into shape because we have found customers interested in shipping with us.
