But we have a building. It's big enough, about same size as what we had at the back to fifties show. Which oddly enough was more space by sqft then we had at Indy.

The mini pullers will not join us in January. It's too early for their "Runoff & test it before the season" timeline.

Cost - $20 per adult driver (over 16) for the weekend.

Our room cost is $785 for the weekend. If we have fewer than 40 drivers then I will cover the difference and next year's will cover me.
Travis is looking into a raffle for a prize that could offset a desparity.
If we have more than 40 drivers then we will start a kitty for supplies, like duct tape, with the collected money.

Set up is January 19th
We are all out by early evening of the 21st.

If we have a good turnout, then we will get a bigger space next year. But the room cost goes up as well. So iff we get the word out and increase drivers then the per drive would go down. So talk to your buddies, and get more there.

I expect to keep the date the same if at all possible - (3rd weekend of January) but this is not totally in our control.


I had explained previously why I was so firm with the toy show people. I want and expect to get to a point where we have assistance from either the Tourist board or from a seller to assist with room cost. But at this time we must cover our own cost.
For those who like to have an audience (spectators), I implore you to bring friends and family.

We are in the Ausitorium. One of the older buildings.

I did not arrange Dirt for this year. Hoping to for next year, and larger space if turnout is good.

Is anybody planning to be there?

[TRUCKMAKER]

From the sounds of things on Facebook there should be a decent turn out. That being said, I won’t be making it. Having Christmas with my daughter and celebrating 2 birthdays. Hope you guys have fun and a good turn out!

[Lmackattack]

I will be there ... there are 3? threads on this so I cant keep up with what one is the main thread.

I will suggest again that these big show/meet threads should be a sticky on the main page for simple navigation and promoting of the shows. Seams cabin and the indy shows are the ones everyone trys to make.

Thoughts?

The one i linked was the main thread, thought a simpler overview thread in Midwest Meet section might be easier for people to find than sifting through 4 pages of the one in General.

I've been trying to cross post it to some other rc sites.

Should be a good turn out. You'll be kicking yourself if you don't go...

[FabOne]

I, myself will be showing up mid-day Friday, the 19th. Alex (DieselKid) and Lil Cooper (Lowboy) will be coming in late Friday.

See you all!

Terry

Since I couldn't make the Cabin Fever show last weekend, I will be coming to this one. Will be there Friday afternoon or first thing Saturday.

[Fury Fan]

I am hoping to be there. I'm a newb here with zero presence, mostly due to not yet knowing how to post pics and avoid the 3rd-party issues. Don't wanna post stuff and then people find out they can't see it.

1. Hoping to meet some of my IN brothers.
2. Hoping to drum up a little side business on my CNC router down the road, I've decided 2018 is the year to try and make some extra $$. So I'll be bringing a few of my homebuilt pieces as samples.

[sparkycuda]

See you Friday, noonish. Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones!

[frizzen]

Fury, go start a build thread and get a photo host, i'll walk you through it.
Everyone was new once, just stick around and you'll "blend in with the cobwebs" in no time.

I'm hoping to be there some each day, but that depends on the start/stop hours.

[Goodison]

Heading down, be there around noon Friday, see all soon


Bart,

[jjackso5]

Izzy and company, I'm having some added health concerns, hoping I can get down tomorrow, at least for the day. I will try. I'm looking forward to being able to join in the fun again, just have to get past a few health concerns.

I hope everyone has a great time, and please post pictures and video's.

Thank you, happy trucking to all,

Jim

Looks like you had a nice turnout. Also looks like Reg's dump trailer sales are up! Would like to see more of the white Mack and the blue KW in this photo if anybody has more pics.
