Ok Its about that time where we need to plan on who is going to ITB and where we will meet and all that.

My club will be there on Friday bright and early. .
I would love to see how many RPS members we can get together this year.

I am staying at the Days Inn on North High School Road.
I reserved the rooms a while back and got them at 49.00 a night.

So who all will be going.

I cant wait to see you all again. Have you been to my www. and checked out my Ranger lately. Big changes since last year. Hopefully will have my hydros on before bash.

I know that 6 members from my club will be there andabout 30 members from Ford Truck world. Maybe we can all park together

Wed Turner
May 12 2003, 07:22pm
The truck is looking bad ass Poco! I will deffinately be there and will try to rope as many Ohio guys into coming as I can. Seems like a long way off, but I'm sure before we know it, it'll be right around the corner and I'll be rushing to get the truck ready for the show. Right now I'm just trying to concentrate on Showfest and than I'll start planning the next. But I wouldn't miss this show for anything!

bdpaco
May 13 2003, 03:44am
Hey, thanks Wed. I just shaved my gas filler door and primered the entire truck this past weekend. I should have some new pics posted on my site soon.

And I know ITB seems like a ways off but its 94 days from today and time goes by quick when you work second shift.

I wish I were able to attend Show Fest this year but I have so many other things going on I just cant.

How about anyone else. I'm sure there are some more of you guys planning on going to ITB.

By the way Gerry and Wed, Have you reserved rooms for ITB yet?
If so where are you staying?

:drunk:

Later

Go ahead and count in the GOOSE and GUMBILICIOUS.

I am not sure about a hotel yet. I may have towork on Saturday morning and then I will drive to Indy and be there a little after noon. I am gonna try to get the day off though.

BTW,Paco, I dig the progress, def a lot for one year. Good work!!

Well, after all the fun I had with the Ohio guys are Showfest, I will definitely try to go to indy. I only hope it isnt the same time as my sister's wedding. It would be hard to be in Texas and Indy at the same time.


Oh, and maybe by then I will be low enough for Krista to see over the top. I mean, i wouldnt want to have her have to cimb up on to my tailgate again:E

bdpaco
May 20 2003, 04:37am
...For the Bash. Looks like we are going to have a great turn out.

Thanks Goose. I have been working my tail off trying to get done for show season. Most of the work has been done over the last 3 months.
I just lowered the truck some more this weekend, hopefully I will get some new pics up after this show I am going to this weekend.

:drunk:

bdpaco
May 20 2003, 04:44am
By the way, I am sure you can still get a room at the hotel I am staying at, if anyone is looking to reserve a room. Its only 10 minutes from the show.
Last year there was some hard partying going on here.
Which is why I am going back.
So I guess what I am trying to say is if you want to party this is one of those hotels to stay at.

Ok, i take it back, I can NOT go. It is the same weekend as my sister's wedding so I will be in texas. Sorry guys, maybe next year. :(

May 21 2003, 09:31pm
Booked my room for Indy today so I'm all set and ready to go. If anyone else wants to stay at the same hotel I suggest you book now to ensure you have a room come Aug. I'm staying at the same place as last year. Here's the hotel info. and the best part, it's only 5 miles from IRP where the show is.

Signature Inn - Indianapolis West
3850 Eagle View Dr
Indianapolis, IN 46254

You forgot to mention spending an hour to go get more propane

Wed Turner
May 22 2003, 06:47pm
That is a pretty lame excuss there Goldie. You'll have to come up with something better. You didn't hear any of us complaining about the multiple day trip it took for us to get to Greenville. Trust me the driving isn't great, but the fun you'll have at the show will more than make up for it.

I went to the bar in Greenville after Eric drug me out of the hotel. Needless to say I wasn't that impressed. But apparetly I missed all the fun. :confused:

before you guys register for ITB, lets get something together and save some money, taken from the ITB webite....

Buddy & Club Discount Program: Don't forget to deduct money from your entry fee if you meet the requirements for our Buddy & Club Discount. Rustle up at least five members to enter at the same time by e-mail, mail or phone, and you each save $5.00 off your total. Anyone from the club who pre-registers after the initial group, gets the discount when they mention the name of your club. BRING A FRIEND AND SAVE too! When you and a friend (who has never entered a Special Events show) pre-register together, you both can save $5.00 on your entries -- It's our way of saying thanks for the referral. Only one discount per order. EACH DISCOUNT IS GOOD FOR PRE-REGISTRATION ONLY!

http://www.importandtruckbash.com that's the site for both indy and canfield

Gerry
May 27 2003, 03:02pm
I'm willing to front the cash for the guys I know to get things rollin' so we all get the discount. I'll do it for Wed, Eric, Gumby, Goose and myself :). Each one of you can send me a check or pay me at the show. Let me know if you want me to do it.

If I do it I'll need each of you to PM or email me the following info.,,,,,,

Its not only the drive. Lately my work has been "chaotic" to say the least. In 2 months, i have worked 60 hrs a week - fired 2 guards - hired 3 guards - one quits - back to 40 hrs a week.

I seriously would like to attend, but finances and school are prolly gonna f0ck me over again (just like every friggin year) :cussing:

butter428
May 29 2003, 01:31pm
I'm going too....it's only a 2 hr drive from my house. I want to make sure I pick a motel that's gonna be close to the action. Does all the partying pretty much take place at every motel?

Gerry
May 29 2003, 01:42pm
I've gone to the ITB show the last 2 years in a row and it's not really a party place. The camp ground next to the show might be a party place but I've never camped there. At ITB you hit the show and then you go back to your hotel for the night, no cruising, parking or dragging on the main strip. Heck, I don't even think they have a main strip at ITB.

Most of the OH guys and a few from IN & IL will be at the same hotel and we may go out for dinner on Fri. or Sat. night after the show. You’re more then welcome to hang out with us. The hotel info. for us is on the first page of this post.

Later!!

BTW.... If anyone's planning to register at the gate you'll pay an extra $15. I just got my pre-registration card in the mail and if you register before Aug. 7th it’s $35 and after the 7th it's $50.

butter428
May 29 2003, 01:50pm
No draggin? No main strip!?!? :bawl:

Oh well, I know it'll be fun anyway.

I think I'm gonna reserve at the same hotel you're at, just because it seems like the easiest way to do it. Do you have to pay anything now, or are they asking for credit card info in case I cancel after the cancellation deadline?

butter428
May 29 2003, 01:51pm
One more question....if you show your truck, you can still drive it at night after the show right?

goose
May 29 2003, 02:34pm
yeah you can drive it that night. Everyone has to leave at the end of the day and then come back again the next day.


I didn't stay overnight last year. We came over on saturday and then left that afternoon after the show.
It is nothing like Greenville from what I hear though.

each of us should owe you $30 then, right? ill hit you back at the show. thanks, gerry.:beer:

bdpaco
May 30 2003, 04:28am
I have been to ITB the last two years and never party as hard as I do there anywhere else. You get to cruise the show grounds all day, you can bring alcohol in with you(if you are old enough),party at the hotel all night, You can cruise downtown on the circle (which was pretty happening last year).
Alot of the guys go to hooters after the show on Saturday. If you know the right people ( which I know people who know the right people, but what good is that?) you can find out what bars the editors are partying at and party hard with them.

I know the hotel I am staying at there was alot of partying at last year.
My first year going to ITB I stayed at a different hotel and ther was no partying.
Any of you that are going are more than welcome to come party with me and my club. Just get up with me at the show. I'll be the guy walking around with a beer in his hand at all times.

Gerry
May 30 2003, 01:16pm
We might have to do that Paco...... everywhere I've stayed it's been quite, maybe a few guys hanging around in front of the hotel but that's it. It's nothing like the Greenville strip, that was crazy.

As for the discount to the show,,,, I'll have everything done by Sunday night and I'll be using RPS as the Club Affiliation name. Anyone who wishes to save the $5.00 can do so staring Monday.

Later!

bdpaco
May 30 2003, 03:11pm
Yea, Gerry come hang out with us. Last year there wasn't a single person at the hotel I stayed at who wasn't outside partying. We partied til around 3 AM, then the cops shut us down.


:drunk:

Gerry
Jun 03 2003, 01:36am
Sorry guys,, I haven't done the reg. yet. I busy working on another quick project that should be done in the next day or two. I'll post the all's clear when I've done the what I need to do and then ya'll can sign up and get the discount.

We'll see Paco.....

Gerry
Jun 04 2003, 12:40pm
Okay boys and girls..... The pre-registration process is complete for Wed Turner, OneLowRanger, Ninety6Ranger, Gumby and myself :). Anyone else who’s going register early and would like to save the $5.00 for the “Buddy & Club Discount Program” you must say your Club Affiliation is: RangerPowerSports.

Hope everyone takes advantage of the discount and we’ll see ya’ll in August :).

Later!!!

goose
Jun 30 2003, 12:50pm
I wont be there until late afternoon on Saturday. Actually more like 6-7ish. I will prolly get a hold of yall and meet at a hotel or eating establishment. Truck won't get entered just for Sunday but I will be rolling it over for yall to check out.

BTW, almost done.

Wed Turner
Jun 30 2003, 06:14pm
That's cool. I'm sure they'll be about 20 cellphones on different people there at the show. Be very cool to see your truck done and layed out. :E I'm sure you can't wait.

and as wild as I am right now the entire weekend.
Can someone tell me when the next AA meeting is. Thanks.
Just kidding.
Me and my wife, my club and about 10 of our friends will br there and around 10 people from Ford Truck World are supposed to meet us there Saturday. So say between 20 and 30 if everybody shows up,

For those of you who have been, I am going to try and mark off the area right where you pull into the show grounds and turn left on to the cruise strip. I will be there bright and early Friday so hopefully I can get this spot for all of us. I think it will be the best spot to have. If not just look for the Twizted Lifestylz banner. I will try and have a big enough spot for all of us if I can.
Even if it means parking where Gerry and everyone did last year.

Well guys, we are down to a month now. Any word on the meet up place? Last year we met up at the Signature Inn on 38th st. Seemed to work out pretty good, and it was close to IRP. And what time are we going to meet up?

Gerry, how is that registration thing working out? Are they going to send the tickets in the mail or do we pick them up at the show? And how much do I owe you? Just wanted to get everything straight, cause its going to be August before we know it.

Wed Turner
Jul 16 2003, 05:05pm
Well I know myself, Gerry, OneLow, and I think gumby are all staying at that same hotel again so I'd say we should meet up there on Sat and Sun mornings just like last year. Say 9am???

The registration you'll pick up at the grounds there and it should be $30 from what I remember.

goose
Jul 16 2003, 05:50pm
Yeah, we just hired a new employee at work so I can get the whole day off (saturday).

Kisha will coming with me. We are gonna need to find a hotel quickly now on late notice.

I am up for meeting at gumby, wed, gerry, blah, blah and blah's hotel on Sat. morning.

See ya soon......baboon.

Gerry
Jul 16 2003, 06:07pm
Darn it all to heck!!!!!

I hadn't heard anything back from the ITB guys about the pre-registration I did back in June so I gave them a call today. As it turns out, the pre-registration thing I did didn't go through so none of us were registered.

Not to worry…. I went back on their website this afternoon and did the whole thing over again but this time I made sure I printed every damn page I was given so I have proof I did it :). I’m supposed to receive confirmation via email sometime within the next 72 hours and if I don't receive the email I'll just call them and do it over the phone. Either way we're getting the discounted price :E. Each of you will own me $26.50 and you can pay me when we get to the show.

Later!

gooseman, yes, I got a job. I'm selling new fords at a dealership here in columbus. If oyu need a car or know anyone who does, tell them to come see me, I guarantee to give a helluva deal.
(although, I'm trying to get something else at the moment, just to save myself from depending on commission)

Ninety6Ranger
Jul 17 2003, 08:51pm
We will most likely meet at about 9:00AM at the Signature Inn off of E. 38th st. and I-465. I believe this is were a Majority of the RPSers are staying. I'm sure Gerry or any of the other guys can provide a little more information than I can.

I'm staying at the Red Roof Inn, that's where some people told it was "happening" last year.

I have a question, I'm registered for the show, but does that mean I have to participate in the vehicle judging? I see that's it's a drive-thru judging, I'm assuming so that judges don't have to walk all over the fairgrounds. So do I hafta do it? I really don't want to be judged, I'm just there for the good times and BUD LIGHT:afro:

I made the trip once and don't know that I'll do it again. It was a decent show, but I wasn't nearly as impressed with it as I have been with Indy the years I've been going there.

I am still laid up from surgery and I am crazy drugged up on pain killers but my club is pitching in and going to finish my bodywork on my truck and getting it ready for ITB for me. Looks like I will not have as much done as I hoped but at least I get to go.

Well looks like I will be there, BUT.......it won't be until mid afternoon on Saturday. I will MOST LIKELY be in the truck. I have the bed on and everything plumbed for the most part. Just have to bleed the brakes adjust a few things.

I had the day off of work for a few months now but I got promoted to Officer in Charge of my post office. I will be doing this for a month at this office and then jumping around running offices until I can get the last promotion to postmaster.

So I will be in touch with GUMBILICIOUS that afternoon. I probably won't even enter my truck in the show since it will be so late, but I will have it so at least all the RPS guys can see it.
Chris- Have your phone on.

Later

Once again, a change in my plans; But this time, for the better.

I am going ahead and getting Saturday off of work. Someone else is gonna run the office for a few hours that day.

Looks like Kisha is coming with me, and we didn't cancel our room for both nights, so probably Friday night we will arrive at the hotel.

Chris- I will call you when we get into Indy.

See some on Friday. The rest...........see ya Saturday morning.

Sounds good eric, I dont know if you still have my cell but its 317-413-9691 just incase. Anyone that needs to get ahold of me may do so.

I am going to pick up a shade tent, not sure if anyone else is bringing one but it never hurts to have more than one. Its going to be in the 90's all weekend and sunny, so make sure u bring a cooler with lots of water and/or beer. Are we going to have the RPS banner again this year? How bout the grill, you bringing it again Wed?

I havent seen any set times for the meet up. Signature Inn on 38th street, 9:00am Friday?? Only have 2 days left :E

Here ya go gumby and anyone else that wants it..... 216-533-3153

Matt, Wed and I have two shade tents for the show. The grill is making the trip for its 2nd showing at ITB but this year we’ve gone high-tech…. now have proper tools for the BBQ, the pliers have officially been retired :). I also have the RPS banner from last year so it’ll be up on the fence behind us.

As for parking..... I think the spot we had last year was really good because we had tons of room to spread out and we could all park together. Sure it was a little off the beaten path but we made it work. Anyone who was there last year knows where we were parked and for those that don’t know just look for the RPS banner on the fence in the southwest corner after you enter the show grounds (the fence runs parallel to the camp grounds across the street).

I think we’re planning to be at the hotel around 12:30-1:00 and then over to the show ASAP. If time gets tight we might hit the show first and do the hotel after the show.

See everyone in 2 or 3 days :E

damn, onelow is gonna be a no show?? That sucks.

I get off of work at 400. Be home at 4:30. After getting everything packed into whats left of the bed of the Ranger, we should be in Indy around 7pm, Friday night.
THe show ends daily at like 430 right? I can meet up with everyone at the hotel that evening, or if you are eating somewhere, we can meet up for el dinero.

I know it ends at 6 on Saturday but I'm not sure about Friday. I'm sure after a day in the sun and racing we'll be heading out for dinner someplace.

damn, topjimmy isn't going either........I wanted to check out that truck that Henry is tellingme all about. You will have to come home one weekend with him and hang out.

The truck is complete, I took it for a spin last night around 10:30. It is awesome. I have to ride real low in the back so the ride is good,other wise it is bouncy. So I am gonna detail it tonite and clean up some wiring and small stuff.

Thanks Matt. We haven't worked on the house much, we finally got a grant from fema. It will pay for alot of the cost to get fixed but not all. We are starting on a room this weekend. Would have had it down last week but was on vacation. Still have to have the house lifted on one cornor and have one room drywalled. It's getting there. We were lucky, 3 of our neighbors are still without thier homes. Goose I will make it over to Henry's sometime. I'm in jobs bank on days so I haven't seen him in a couple of weeks. I wish I could make it down Saturday. What are you guy's doing after the show Sat? Let me know where you guys will be at and I might (MIGHT) get down there for alittle bit. If not, have fun and I'll be there next year.

We'll probably be at one of the hotel's drinking or out at a restaurant eating. Give one of the guys a call on their cell phones if you got time and we'll give you directions to where we are.
