I think that's Easter weekend. Might make it more difficult for some people to attend. I'll try to make it if my new 5 ton arrives by then (fingers crossed).

 

[irishvin]

[Lieutenant Dan]

Yup that's easter weekend. If the date stands I won't be attending due to the holiday.

Ahhh Crap!. New date coming.

 

[Lieutenant Dan]

And April 18th is the sussex show.

How about first weekend in May? I'm sure the weather will be beautiful. And truth be told I have a jammed up April, trip to Anaheim for a week in the middle of April. I'm really hoping the date gets pushed back to May...

 

[irishvin]

i agree with dave may would be a bit better

 

[shenkmen]

Sissies!

I'm working on dates now and will post as soon as it's figured out.

 

[maddawg308]

Whatever date you come up with, I'm there. Haven't missed an RC rally yet, not going to start. I'm in, arriving Friday late afternoon, tentatively.

 

[jwentz57]

will be looking for the new date .Colleen been asking me for the last couple if there was a date that she can request off. miss out on last year worked crazy

 

[Lieutenant Dan]

May would be great! Only weekend I have in April is the 11th and 12th. The last full week in April I'm going to Florida and the weekend before is the sussex show I plan on attending since I missed last years.

 

[Corvette1974]

I will be there this year. I've been on MV off-roading withdrawal for the past year. I might also have the NV4500 installed in time. I'm picking it up this weekend.

[drecon]

I submit my vote for first weekend of May

 

[215Dave]

Have we reached a verdict? opcorn:

 

[maddawg308]

Absolutely. We find the defendant, shenkmen, guilty of crimes against culinary taste, and hereby sentence him to a lifetime of eating burnt scrapple and NA beer.

 

[mikey]

Clearly you never tried Joe's meat.
