We will not turn guys away who behave and work to our goal but we are not to sway the focus of the event.  We are guests and need to honor our host.

Buildings, various products as loads all add realism and is highly encouraged.  So team up with others to make this a good whole experience of mini trucking and construction equipment. If all you have is a tank or other non themed item team up with another Trucker to haul you here or there etc.

Hello Chris & Travis ,
I know I been falling of the grid again since last year , just way to busy with work and private stuff , but I am coming too !
do we have again the cool loading docks from you Chris and blueshirt ?
photos & videos from Indy 2014

I gone try to be there by Thursday noon !
are we gone have enough road material ? if we do the ware-house setup again , we need something underneath , or shell I just bring some roofing-paper( including tape and such ) ...
still looking for some good carpet-material which would work for that , just haven't found anything yet .

looking forward seeing you guys again !

Re: Indy 2015
 
Travis, that's great! Tell your dad thanks! I'm sure it'll get used. Looks like it would make a good railroad bridge between shows!

Is there a limit on how many trucks one person can bring to Indy?

TRUCKMAKER 08-13-2015 07:13 PM

Re: Indy 2015
 
It depends on how many you cram into your 1:1 vehicle :lol::lol::D

Re: Indy 2015

Re: Indy 2015
 
As a general rule. Bring what you want. If we get crowded we ask those that brought a lot to pick a few up to make room for others.
