I've had it on my calender for a couple of weeks now! It's always fun.

 

[crobertson1]

Aww crap... I'm out. We've decided to go to the big national motocross race at Thunder Valley that weekend. Figures both events would be on the same weekend!

 

[sick_ram]

Truck pull would be awsome

 

[sbentz]

We are working on Saturday's exact event plan and brackets. So far, a pull is looking tought to pull off. (no pun) We are trying to make this a great 2 day activity with many things to do for all.



More soon. Plan on coming Friday night, social evening, racing Saturday, party Saturday, and Truck Fest Sunday.



Be ready for a good time... .

 

[mgoncalves]

I have never made it to truck fest .



And I don't think I'm going to make this one either seeing as how I'm getting married on the 23rd .



Well maybe 2006 will be the year I go to truck fest

Truck Fest is just around the corner. We decided to go to the MX race on Saturday and Bandimere on Sunday. What a weekend!

 

[CGriffith]

I'm confused. What is going on saturday? I can only go one day. Which day would be the best?

 

[Luke Warmwater]

Truck Fest is just around the corner. We decided to go to the MX race on Saturday and Bandimere on Sunday. What a weekend!

Eh? I thought the MX was on Sunday? I was hoping the trucks were on Sat at Bandimere. I can go on Sat but I'm out for Sunday.

 

[ASBlack]

Most of the trucks will be there both Saturday and Sunday. I have a bunch of information fliers from Bandimere. If anyone would like one, please drop me your mailing address.

 

[MikeS1]

I do not see anything scheduled on Bandemere's website, what is MX?

 

[Luke Warmwater]

MX Nationals

 

[msperos]

Scott, is there a 3day pass available or is it 12 bucks a day????

 

[crobertson1]

I do not see anything scheduled on Bandemere's website, what is MX?

The motocross races are at Thunder Valley up the road the same weekend. My family and I are going there on Saturday and to Bandimere for the Truck Fest on Sunday. Sorry for the confusion. I was just excited that I get to go to BOTH events.

 

[sbentz]

There are discount coupons at Cummins Rocky Mountain for anyone that comes in. I think it gets you $3 off... .

 

[CRead]

Can we bring our camper and stay saturday night or do we have stay somewere else? I want to go Sat. and Sun. and don't want to drive the 70 plus miles home and back each day. What time are the events starting on Sat? Bandimere's website says nothing about truck races on Sat.

 

[sbentz]

Call the track and what what they suggest. My deal is anyone that wants a free plug in to power for the night, can stay at our parking lot at Cummins at 8211 East 96th in Henderson. We have 4 RV plug ins and a large grass area for dogs, a picnic table for eating, and some long asphalt for ???????? Lord knows, we NEVER have used it for testing. Not me... .



There is a hotel on the west side that is the "official' host, and we will get more info out before the event.

 

[CRead]

Sounds like fun i'll talk with my friends see what there plans are. Anyway we will be the cheering on the dragster like we do every year. What time are the races starting on Sat?

 

[crobertson1]

Scott,



Do you know if there will a certain place to park or meet for TDR members, or a booth or something like that?

 

[sbentz]

I have not heard yet, if the RMTDR is going to try to group everyone, or anything. If nothing else, we will have our big new black trailer with the dragster by the top eliminator area where you are all welcome to drop by.
