Our January 10, 2009 rally was a big success! We had 45 trucks participate. We owe a big thanks to the Turbo Diesel Register (TDR) for your support.
Most participants drove Dodge/Cummins trucks, and they ranged from First Generation work trucks to Bremerton Dodge's Paul Shaffer's decked-out dually. We welcomed a local Ford group, and Bay Ford brought a brand new truck as well.
For our free raffle the Turbo Diesel Register was our most generous contributor. The goodies and sample magazines were snapped up. We also owe a big thank you to the Bremerton Dodge, Grey Chevrolet, Bay Ford, and Bethell Automotive. The facility managers were so impressed with our turnout and the type of folks who attended that they have asked us to come back this summer.
We will be planning another event soon. We will keep the Turbo Diesel Register members updated!
We've just heard from our vacationing Jim Anderson! He tells us that it is time to get the Florida TDR snowbirds together. So for those of you who have expressed interest in gathering, mark your calendars for either January 20, 2009 or February 19, 2009. His plan is to meet from 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Bring your own lawn chairs. The meeting goes on (outdoors) come rain or shine. Be prepared!
Location: Lakeland, Florida. Target Store parking lot on US 98, just North of Interstate 4.
Directions: Take exit 32 on I-4. Turn North on US 98 for approximately ½ mile. Turn right at Target store sign. Smoky Bones restaurant is also on this corner. We will meet in the far right area of the Target parking lot which is usually not occupied. Look for Jim’s 2006 white 3500 dually quad cab.
The plan is to meet and greet from 11:00 a.m. - 11:45 a.m., then move to Smoky Bones restaurant for lunch. Following a leisurely lunch, the group will gather for truck talk, show and tell, fellowship, and a Q&A session. Everyone will benefit from this group discussion. Your guests, who may not be interested in truck discussion, will be happy to know there are several stores and a mall nearby, including Target, Michael’s, Barnes & Noble, Belk, and many others.
Please RSVP to Jim Anderson directly at j.t.anderson@worldnet.att.net so he can plan accordingly. If you have a problem or get lost, Jim can be reached at (865) 310-1512.
The very western part of Washington is about to have a long-awaited diesel gathering! It has come to the attention of TDR Member, Rhonda Kelly, that there are many diesel owners and enthusiasts in the Olympic Peninsula area who are excited about a diesel-specific event. Some of these people are Dodge Cummins believers like Rhonda, and some have diesels of other brands. According to Rhonda, all are welcome!
On January 10, 2009, the group will rendezvous at the Silver Spur Club in Bremerton (8000 Nels Nelson Road - across from the Fairgrounds) at 12:00 noon. Go on by the clubhouse and enjoy some coffee and a bite to eat. Tell Rhonda the TDR sent you! Meet some new friends. Show off your truck. They will have informational brochures for diesel resources and vendors, and plenty of door prizes!
For additional information, contact TDR Member, Rhonda Kelly at (425) 269-0029. You can check our her website at: www.BeatByaDiesel.com as well.
With the introduction of the 2009 model year cars and trucks just days away, I received news from Dodge Truck Marketing about a ride and drive event that will be of interest to you.
Dodge has put together the Ram Challenge Tour, a 12-city event that showcases the new 1500 series truck. The event started on July 26 in San Antonio, Texas and ends on October 6 in Sacramento, California.
With so much of that truck's styling and interior used in our 2500 - 5500 trucks, you will want to see and drive the new 1500. Also, as a Dodge Ram Truck enthusiast, the test drive will give you first-hand information that you can discuss with friends and family as well as on the Turbo Diesel Register Discussion Forums.
This fun packed Turbo Diesel weekend will include a Dyno Competition at GJ Diesel on Friday, June 20; Diesel Drag Racing at Yellowstone Dragway on Saturday, June 21; and Sled Pulls at Yellowstone Dragway on Sunday, June 22.
This is a family event with camping available at the track, and all tickets get you into the pit area to meet the drivers and see their vehicles.
Special attractions include Scott Bentz with the Valvoline Diesel Dragster, GJ Diesels 9-second Dirty Max, and Chad Riley with his 2008 undefeated Diesel Powered altered. Also this event should be host to one of the largest pro street classes in 2008.
Competitors can choose to compete in at all three events. Regardless of whether you are a complete stock truck or a highly modified truck, they have a class for you.
For more information, contact the NHRDA at (360) 658-4353.
