Northeast 2006 rally

[ktpauley]

This is an event that started as the Northeast Powerstroke Rally. As of last year it ceased to exist. There is a member on TDS the has a resort near Mechanicville, N. Y. He and I have been discussing making this an all brands rally. What dates are good for everyone?

As far as I'm concerned, the closer to Labor Day, the better!

I think Id deffinatly be up for it, not too far from me. I know my GF took 2 weeks off sometime in August, but it would be a nice daytrip. It makes no difference to me when it is, so i'll be watchin for it. BTW Im an IDI guy.

Cowboy_Customs, it doesn't matter if you are an IDI guy. In emailing Wayne (fordt) we thought it would be better to make this an all brands event. In previous years this was a Powerstroke event. Keith

I emailed several companies regarding the event. this is the reply I got from Cummins.

Some of us are attempting to resurrect what was previously called the Northeast
Powerstroke Rally as an all brands event. We are looking for vendors/exhibiters
to attend. This event is being held at a resort near Mechanicville, N. Y. The
time frame is late July. Thank you for your time. Keith"

A comment like that would make me tell them why I do not own a Cummins!

 

[ktpauley]

Makes you wonder about their customer service. I didn't even tell them what I drive. You would think they would want to brag how much better the Cummins in compared to everything else. Keith

 

[Cowboy_Customs]

Just wondering if ya had any updates for a possible date fer the rally?
Thanx!!

 

[ktpauley]

I haven't heard from Wayne about that. I did contact the Powerstroke guys and they may be there with the trailer. Eric from Innovative Diesel is going to make it. Keith

 

[ktpauley]

Wayne/Fordt sent me an email asking me to contact the resort directly. I gave them dates of July 27 to July 31. They have a group of 150 there from July 22 through July 29. I then asked about Aug. 2 through Aug 8. I haven't gotten a response for the Aug. dates. Idon' know how everone feels about the noise we will create with the dyno and possilby a pulling event. Do we want to disturb the other people or will our event draw some of them. I'm open to suggestions. Keith

The response from Cummins does not surprise me because I think Ron Patton (owner of TDR) is a retired Cummins Employee which started the TDR thing back when he worked there so it's only natural for them to show loyality to his group - then the fact that they working very very closely with the TDR group for the IRP Group down in Indy by having a "Gray haired trailer trash meets Young punks in trucks" (I think that is what they called it this year) get together in Columbus at the engine factory the weekend of IRP DHRA Event.

 

[ktpauley]

That would explain their response. Maybe I should send them another email asking if they are chicken to show up to an event with Fords. Keith

 

[ktpauley]

As a follow-up, the dates are Aug. 2 through Aug. 8. These dates are better for the resort. Thanks Wayne for your help. Keith

 

[Cowboy_Customs]

Excellent, I'll plan on at least one day. What are the directions to the resort? should I be calling to make reservations for a spot to camp out, or how is this all workin? Thanks!

 

[ktpauley]

Which dates are better that weekend are the following weekend if available? Keith
