Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Hi all,
John Holmes asked me to pass on this important update info on the MM2000 event that is just around the corner.

... things are going as expected... hectic. Looks like around 270 trucks. I hear there will be "drop-ins"... . those who just want to "look around" without paying. You might want to put something on the web that they will not be welcome. It may be a free country, but the hotel costs $15,000 (where the vendors are), tents $5000, food $10,000, etc. , for a total of about $52,000. Dodge does NOT cover all expenses. I barely cover out-of-pocket expenses. Everyone will have name tags and those that don't I have asked security to ask them to leave (including vendors that try to crash the event like they have in the past). That's not TDR or Dodge or Cummins... that's me. I don't like paying out of my pocket for freeloaders. May Madness is put on by John and Polly and since it is our party we set the rules. You can say this nicely I'm sure... I'm not very diplomatic. ( might as well tell is like it is John) This is a year long grind that
earns us not a cent... just the satisfaction of putting on a good show for a lot of great TDR members. Nuff said. John
Thanks John -- I would have polished it for you, but I think our TDR members will understand your concern and those that have come to past events know that the money price is a bargain.
