The 22nd Annual Turbo Diesel Register (TDR) “May Madness” Rally
The 22nd Annual May Madness will be held on April 25--May 1, 2016 in Pahrump, Nevada. We plan to hold most events at Preferred RV (the host RV Park). We will have the Wednesday evening "pot luck" dinner as in past years, This year on Saturday we will again have a grilled dinner at the RV Park clubhouse.
The rally will include technical and product-oriented seminars. Chrysler warranty personnel, Cummins personnel, and aftermarket representatives will give technical talks, question-and-answer sessions, and sessions with the DRB-3 and WiTech diagnostic software tools. We will have a "Round-table" discussion of technical issues with the vendors and Chrysler representatives leading the discussion on Friday evening. There will be a Ram Roundup for all attendees on Saturday. Non-diesel related activities will include swimming, craft classes, card games, pool, stained glass, woodworking, exercise room, demonstration of the Sheriff's Department K9 unit, and a golf outing. Self-guided tours will also be available. We anticipate getting information about new technical advances in the Ram Turbo Diesels and steps taken to improve fuel mileage, power, and durability.
Diesel Specialists of Las Vegas and BD Power will hold a Dyno Day on Thursday with their high inertia, wide roller Dynojet, for attendees of May Madness. Pre-registration for the Dyno Day is being made so Diesel Specialists and BD power can plan their event. Include $30 with your May Madness registration and the dyno pre-registration information and funds will be forwarded to them. BD will give the first forty who pre-register a $30 gift certificate (at the Dyno Day event) good for any BD manufactured product at BD directly; this certificate may also be redeemed at Diesel Specialists for $50 on the Dyno Day, a bonus of $20 from them.
The host RV Park is Preferred RV Resort (800-445-7840;
www.preferredrv.com). This RV Park is across the side street from the Pahrump Nugget. They are once again giving us the special rate of $15.49 including tax. Be sure to tell them you are with “MAY MADNESS.” Their clubhouse holds 130 people and will be the site for most activities.
Hotel options include the Pahrump Nugget (866-751-6500;
www.pahrumpnugget.com) which is conveniently located close to Saitta-Trudeau Dodge and the RV park. Two other choices are the Best Western Hotel and RV Park (775-727-5100), and Saddle West Hotel/Casino/RV Park (800-433-3987,
www.saddlewest), both in Pahrump.
Please register for May Madness--2016 early so you and we can plan for a better rally. Note that the registration cost is lower if you are an “early-bird.” Considerable planning is involved, and early registration assists us in developing the needed support. For example, we have to order the t-shirts at least two months before the event, and if you have not pre-registered, we can only guess your size, or if you will attend. We have to guess how many Saturday dinners to prepare for, etc. Please help us make accurate estimates by pre-registering early. If you need special, or vendor accommodations, contact Joe Donnelly for arrangements: 702-565-9566 or -- email address removed --
