mid michigan diesel weekend?

[mjoppie]

thanks, she talked me into it. played head games with me i think

gotta fix that.



grass lake isnt that far away is it? just down by brooklyn? i think.



so would a 2 day event be better or just a 1 day? i would like to see a 2 day but i need some ideas so i can talk to the fairgrounds about it.



i wanna do it now Oo. cant wait to see a bunch of cool trucks all togather.

might even have the big 3 dealerships in for a stock truck dyno comp! the dodge dealership guy asked about that guess hes pretty proud of the new cummins.



oh and it probably wouldnt be to hard to have a show and shine section there either. the lay out of the grounds is nice.

Congrats on the engagement Matt!



Are you going to have the ceremony at the event???

:-laf :--) :-laf

 

[mjoppie]

i dont know how well that would fly with the wife :-{} , but it would be cool. i have thought about it a bit. i dont know if im going to get married in the summer or fall. honeymoon is in december, in cancun or cozumel Oo. warm weather!!



so far i think about 30-40 people are intrested in showing up and lots more from around here!!



matt

marriage whats that? :-laf



congrats matt!!! dont let her tap into your truck time!!



these shirts are in the rough stage, just for an idea if wanted. approval is still needed from TDR about the logo use



back of shirt says "shaking the ground in your town" then "date here" under it which will have the set date



"1st annual(top) mid-michigan diesel madness" on front

I'll show.

front of shirt: No bill board, add a pocket TDR logo or cummins, or ?

 

[R-N-R]

The shirt design looks great!

 

[mjoppie]

wow :--) thats cool!! that will defintily be on the top of my list of "hunt down and get that to work" . but one downfall is that there will be strokers, duramaxes, and the mighty cummins all there. could make three diferent designs?? any universal ideas?? as much as i love the all cummins thing, we will always have to have some good rivals, to help support events like this, and i would feel bad if i invited a bunch of other trucks and didnt have sompthing cool for them too.





and no, this wont cut into truck time, i think it might give me a little more.



i have been trying to think of a good theme name for it and belive thats the one right there!! its great. Oo.



thanks

matt

 

[IC Smoke]

haha the shirt was just a rough sketch



I thought about the others (ford/dmax) lastnight when doing it but I found the sweet dodge images and went with it. Maybe TDR could use the design for some new shirts thru geno's?!?!

Ill have to hunt down some ferd & maxi-pad designs and stick em on.



Blue-beast is broke down in Dayton OH so I prolly wont get to the designs till late tonight

[mjoppie]

well its gonna happen this year!!! Oo. dates are any time from last two weeks in july, and the first 3 weeks in august. what works for everybody??

i need some input on this to get everything set before i go back to work so bring on the ideas!!!!!



camping is $15/night up to 600 sites, so that should be enough.



what is everyone intrested in a saturday/sunday event or just one day???





thanks guys

Matt,



I appreciate your hard work.



Depending on how the turnout is looking a one day event may be plenty for this year IMHO. As it grows, if it will be an annual event, you can always add a second day. Unless you there will be sled pulling and drag racing then I think it would be best to have them on a separate days.



As far as what week would be best, Scheids is August 26 - 28 and TiM/IRP is June 25-26, personally I would try not to get too close to those dates.



You plan on having truck pulls correct?

 

[Babyfat]

any date in that time period looks good in my book, but i don't have my boy's baseball times yet either, i'll work around that. Ian the shirt looks cool :-laf

 

[R-N-R]

First three weeks in Aug works better for me. Two days would be great for socializing but one will work fine as well. Sat is preferrable for me.

 

[mjoppie]

thats kinda what i was thinking with the one day thing, it would be a little easier to do and plan. would a sunday or saturday be better for everyone?

i got a dyno to agree to come and it will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 a run. and the sled i am still looking for. i found one but would like a few more ideas.



i need vendors for the event so if your intrested that would be great



thanks a bunch guys!!!!! Oo.



matt

 

[Cooker]

Sunday would be better for me but I would have to guess Saturday will yield a better turn out.

 

[mjoppie]

yeah thats the hard decision, saturday or sunday. sunday would be good for me but as you said saturday would probably be a little better for turnout. i would love to see this grow into sompthing good, not so huge that it would be almost impossible to plan but just a good turnout of trucks and spectators. i think for this year the one day event will work fine.



i think july 30th might have to be the date. most of the sleds are already booked so i might have a rough time getting one on a different day. which might work out good because i dont think theres nothing happening around that date. does this sound good to everyone?????



have it start at sompthing like 9 or 10am???? earlier or later??? i got this getting closer and closer to a time and date Oo.



i need some good pics of dodges, fords, and duramaxes if you guys got them. (with a good smoke show to) email them to me at -- email address removed --



thanks guys

[mjoppie]
