TRS Event Ford Ranger 40th Anniversary - Truck Nationals - Carlisle PA

[Rick W]

Carlisle called me today, and I’m good with the trailer. They told me to go to gate one, which is the big rig entrance, and then they re-sticker me and redirect me to The Ranger Station. I hope to be there almost when they open up on Friday, but remember I’m an old fart and I’ll be driving at least 11 hours on Thursday, and then I have to deal with the trailer in the woods because of the coupler.

The Carlisle guys have been great. I’m not sure if this maneuver is to help me from not having to wiggle the truck around with just the little trucks at the normal registration gate, or it may be that the guy is sneaking me in with the trailer and sneaking me over to TRS. If it is the latter, I think we all need to lay low so we don’t get this guy in trouble.

I’m just happy I can be there with all the junk. I’m really looking forward to it.

Where’s the link for The Road Ranger shirts?

Sorry, The shipment never showed up. Some issue with the trailer.

Carlisle has posted a link to the event map showing where everything is. I labeled the map above but you can see the full map in the link below:

My son and I will be there. Just registered last night. We live right here in Carlisle.

I did the first long-range look at Carlisle, and I’m happy to say that it’s supposed to be 82° on Thursday, may be a shower, and 76° on Friday. Compared to the 95° plus we’ve been having down here for a few weeks, that should be pretty nice.

But even the 82° can have an effect on this old fart. I was wondering. If each guy brought a couple buckets of air-conditioned air with them from home, and emptied them out slowly in the tent….

Serious question, will the tent have electricity?

Dry ice...like a fog machine. Coolest bunch camping for sure...

I don’t think there will be power, but I know for a fact that I will have my Milwaukee m18 fan with me.

I can release some “air” in the tent. But it won’t be cold.

I really need one of those... last camp I did with no fan was miserable for me.

Going commando with a kilt... and that fan...

You want to go commando in a kilt in Kentucky.

I'm starting to hear banjo music.

So I’ve been dealing with this t-shirt company trying to get the right color. It takes them 2-4 days to respond to an email. I’m beyond fed up with them. My last email said “if it ever takes them more than 24hrs to respond to any of my emails, I’ll just stop payment on the entire order.”

No! For heaven's sake, NO! Don't do it! We'll be mentally scarred for life.
