20th Annual May Madness, 2014

[Larry Willard]

Hello everyone! I have been out of the truck scene forever after major health issues; but I finally have my life in order and will be attending this year. Really excited to see my old friends! I will be there in the old 05.

Glad to see you can make it again.

Can anyone tell me if TDR stuff is usually available for sale at the May Madness event?

I need a new TDR grill badge for my 2014 truck. The old one I had on my 2001 is pretty faded and beat up.

Thanks!

Hey Joe,have you come up with a rough schedule?

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

It is like trying to herd cats, lol. I have to fit in the various talks and don't even have titles and presenters for some of them yet. Overall, it will probably be similar to last year's schedule. Registration Monday afternoon and evening, also Tuesday. Talks Wedn and Thu AM. Dyno Thurs PM. Vendor talks Fri and Sat. Bar BQ/grilled dinner Sat evening. We will have modestly priced breakfasts most mornings in the RV park clubhouse.

I am organizing a trip to Scotties Castle, probably going to be Tuesday. Bring your guns we will head out to do some shooting at some point and I will dream up a few more activities. I will also lead the caravan to the Dyno Thursday If anyone has more ideas chime in now so we have time to organize. Sign up for activities at registration as usual.

I don't think my carry permit will be well received going through California...

Cummins tells me that they plan to give away some 25th Anniversary stuff for a 2014 model.

Denise, Larry, Bob and I have been working with Mary on the menu for our TDR breakfasts, plus setting up some fun craft classes for those who are interested. I should be able to post more detailed information on both subjects soon. Also, for those who have come into the park on the Saturday preceeding MM and have enjoyed the fireworks display put on by the local fireworks store, they will be doing the same this year. It will be shortly after dusk on Saturday, April 26th. The display is just to the south of the RV Resort. Folks say it is pretty spectacular.

Are we going to INVADE Scotties Castle with guns ablazin`???. Hugs, Di

I just received confirmation that we will have two Cummins engineers at May Madness. One is Chris Bachmann who gave us a talk at the CMEP rally last June.
