[Smiley]

I've already got my room reserved :D:cop:

[GlobelinerBrad]

Already requested the time off. Can't wait!

[Indyrcaddict]

nice will try and make this one as well will have to see how the funds flow during that few months prior

[Actros4160]

My Room is Booked:):cop:

[tc1cat]

Anyone try and get rooms at the la Quinta next to the Marriott? Hotel is not listed any more when you do a search. Wonder if it closed??? Funny it would close after all of the money they were putting into it doing remodeling unless it is closed for remodeling.

[TRUCKMAKER]

It is no longer a la Quinta, the owner who also owns the Marriot wanted to update the place and LaQuinta wouldn't let him do what he wants so he dumped the franchise. It is now the Indianapolis Conference Center Hotel. Phone 317-359-1021. It sounds like they are making a mini Marriot out of it, lots of changes and I was told it will still be under construction in August but they are accepting reservations.

[tc1cat]

Thanks Kent. Just made reservations for the show. Did it all on line.

[Mustang46555]

Thanks for the motel update! Vacation is scheduled calling for reservation today!

[Mustang46555]

FYI everybody!
The old LaQuinta/Indiana Conference Center Hotel is booked full for the Indy weekend.
Looks like I'll be staying at the Marriot, oh well less walking!

[Izzy]

Check the link to the toy show above, there is a code TFL.

[Mustang46555]

Thanks Izzy!

[Izzy]

Same room space as last year.

[TRUCKMAKER]

It seems that things have changed at the Indy conference hotel, the old Laquinta. I just called and booked a room for Thursday Friday and Saturday nights for 80. Dollars and change (AAA Discount) The lady that took my reservation said they still have plenty of rooms available, not sure why it was posted that they were booked. If you still need rooms or want to move closer call them. 1-317-359-1021.

[sparkycuda]

Sorry to miss Indy this year. It is fun and I really enjoy meeting & talking with everyone.

Have a good time!

Ken

[Izzy]

It was great to meet so many of you fine gentlemen, i'm glad i was able to participate and everyone was so welcoming. The workmanship on display was nothing short of incredible!

I'm suprised how well reccieved 'Mikes shakey dump truck' was by the crowd and everyone driving. I was kind of afraid my little beat up, hacked together truck would be too out of place among all of your beautiful trucks, but it wasn't at all the case. Thank you for the plastic spacer when my rear suspension shook itself apart.

[bigford]

that's the great thing about us 1/14 guys were friendly and helpful

[Claus]

Where's all the pics and videos? In need of eye candy.

[wolfws6]

I had a wounderful time and was nice to meet some of the people on the board! Here is some eye candy. :D

Thanks for all of the pics and videos. Looks like you guys had a great time. Wish I could have made it this time:(:( Who won the demo derby??

[Izzy]

Benny ( orange )
Fhhstix was second

It is amazing how hard it is to intentionally run into someone.

[Northern Farmer]

Wow those are some beautiful rigs!

[Duck]

Nice slide show Duck, great pictures! Did you watch it? The Filmora LOGO kinda covers things up and distracts from an otherwise excellent show. Is there anyway of getting rid of it?

[Claus]

That would be a nice video if it wasn't ruined by the lettering blocking the view.

[Supermario]

That would be a nice video if it wasn't ruined by the lettering blocking the view.

Wouldn't be so bad if it was up in a top corner but smack dab in the middle kinda sucks.

[Bo Wallen]

It's a trail version..........it need to be registered for the watermark to go away.
Free program sucks. they always need their $. The slide is nice hope it can be fixed.

[frizzen]

A few more from friday


Photobutt ruined things, I'll try to upload eventually

[Duck]

Just noticed Izzy's daycab went from a KW grille to a Pete grille. Missed that.

[Duck]

Izzy's white kW has gotten me alot of views on youtube, Thanks Izzy :D and funny thing is I didn't mean for his truck to be the thumb nail XD

[Bodyman]

Is it true? I just read in this months toy trucker that the remote control trucks will not be at next years show. Also they are trying to find a new place to hold it and might not be a show next year.

[Mustang46555]

Izzy mentioned in a meeting at Indy this year that 2017 was a question mark. Hotel was probably going to be jacking the rates and they were being a total P.I.A. about our rubber. The possibility of a new venue for the event in Lebanon, IN was mentioned. Very close to Indy, same size room or even slightly larger, some on the forum went there for a meet early in 2016 and reports were very good. Let's hope something can be put together at this facility for 2017. We don't have to be in Indy to have our show. I'll help any way I can!

[frizzen]

Found this one. Do not watch if you get motion sick.
