2020 Northeast/New England Meet "Summer Sizzler" August 15th in Ludlow MA for Autism Speaks

Even @Gregw138 forgot his CB. I was talking to myself the whole way

 

I don't know why, but all I can picture you doing is this with your cb....lol

I actually had it but I didn’t want to talk to you.

 

Just purchased my ticket including patch - @crashngiggles just pm'd you good sir!

 

You hoping for a new set of tires this year again??

 

yes, but for someone else haha! Hopefully our vendors come through huge for us again!

 

I'm looking forward to winning a set of tires. Daddy needs!

 

We had a handful on the caravan from Auburn. Naturally the ham frequencies worked well but the CBs were cacklecrackling too. But I like your idea that maybe we make an effort to coordinate better. I bet most of us can hit the Paxton MA repeater and @m603holden appears to be looking at a new GMRS rig or maybe towing a long wire.

 

Hey team awesome:

What do you guys think about having some “scheduled” breakout sessions or demos of some sort. Thinking out loud, perhaps the meet starts and there is a gathering and food etc. At some point, there is a schedule of “showcase events” such as:
1) Lifts & Tires
2) Electrical
3) Chopped
4) Winches and Recovery
5) Camping
6) Trail comms
7) Engine/Powertrain & Exhausts
Etc.

Conceptually I see this run “conference like” with a few “stations” where a couple drivers prepare and discuss their stations approach’s and anybody interested in the topic(s) chose the “session” that mosts interests them to explore.

Because there are also food/vendors/raffle/comrades/etc. also vying for time, I’d see this as having a scheduled start/end.

I’m willing to make an attempt to coordinate, solicit ideas and facilitate.

 

That’s an interesting idea! Let us discuss and get back to you on that.

 

Maybe get @ROKO Vehicles LLC to go again?
Also, I'd be down to help with electrical questions or issues. Like we ended up wiring @Unchained 5150 last year.

 

And they look and work nicely my friend.

 

Roko is for sure on our list to contact. Those guys are awesome! We haven’t put out feelers to vendors yet, but we are close to doing so! Still early

 

This is a great idea, but unfortunately with time constraints, area of space, and to fit it in with the other stuff we have planned, something like this would not be possible this year. I definitely like the idea and if we integrate it into future events, we can put you in charge of that area.....

 

Got it. Not surprising. Next time perhaps. Thanks for the quick decision.

 

It’s an awesome idea but it would take a lot of time and we only have the
Venue for so long. Next time we’ll plan ahead for it. It is a great idea

 

I bought my ticket and patch. I can't wait for this event!!!
