Thanks to everyone who made this year's rally an event to remember. It was sunny but COLD, and everyone had a great time. We had alot of new guys, who really appreciated the chance to study the trucks and pick up some parts. Nine out of the ten trucks went on the trail ride! Special thanks to Dennis Sherman for bringing his trail truck. What a hoot! He even got it stuck, letting us demonstrate the performance of winch and snatch block. He also got John and Kieth and I thinking about building a trail rig.
This year's winners were:
Best Military - Dennis Mengele, M-37
Best Original - Chris Wetherell, 1964 PW
Best of Show - Charlie Skrabak, 1956 PW
People's Choice - Dennis Sherman, Shorty
Special thanks to our sponsors, and to my family for their support of this event and my passion for these trucks.
Shoot me an email if you want a rally T-shirt ($20 plus $5 shipping). All proceeds go to the Big Climb for Patrick Donahoe. I will get T-shirts out this week to those of you who already ordered. Thanks.
Instead of doing a rally next year, we are planning a Road, Rail & Trail Tour of West Virginia's Most Scenic Places, including Blackwater Falls State Park, Canaan Valley State Park, Dolly Sods Wilderness Area, Spruce Knob (highest point in WV), Cass Scenic Railroad, and Seneca Rocks. Will stay in motels, lodges, campsites, ditches, etc. So get those trucks road & trail worthy!
See you in Iowa in 2007!!!
