Hey Guy's,
I would like to alert all STF's that SDC member George Hamlin & myself are trying to orginize an event. George has brought it to my attention that 3 days (July 9-10) just a few miles from the International meet at Cedar Rapids, will be the "Monster Truck Jamboree" (no Not like Bigfoot monster trucks). This event is held at the Iowa 80 Truckstop. This truck stop is the larest in the world. So It only stands to reason that they would host the largest truck show in the world. George has talked to the promoter and we were invited to attend to represent Studebakeer Trucks. Registration is free and we are reserved a spot for around 20 trucks or so. If we can get more great, but I would like to get a desent representation of our brand. Also for every old truck registered, there will be 2 coupons for a free pork chop lunch on site. For those of you who don't know the Iowa 80 is an attraction of it's own. there is a lot to do there you can check it out at www.iowa80truckstop.com or call (563)468-5228.
While this is primarily a "BIG RIG" show,the promoter told George that they are getting more and more trucks like ours registered every year. While I understand that this will cost more money with 3 additional days of travel. I hope that we can get as many trucks to show up as posssible to represent our brand. I think it would be great if we can to quote George " the world of Macks, Petes, and GMC's should know what Studebaker was doing". especially if we can get some Detriot Diesels out there, how fitting would that be seing as its a semi show. Unfortunatly, I don't think Samson will be anywhere near ready by that time, but maybe if he's running he can go play without his good clothes on.
In closing I think this would be a great opprituninty to do exactly what the club was founded for, to promote and educate others about our brand. And what better place to do it than at the worlds largest truck show. Please let me know what you all think. I don't even know if I will have a truck ready yet but do plan on attending, along with George. So let's rally the troops and do this.
