Please register. It doesn't cost a dime to. We need to know how many of you are coming. Since I posted this last night on Mud the registrations have been flooding in. I think a lot more people are coming than anyone thought. Also this is an open event you don't have to have a Cruiser to come you don't have to be a TLCA member to come. We have all kinds of clubs coming to show their support. Please come and rally together with all 4x4 owners to show your support for Tellico and the people who depend on the trail being open.
Update.
Please go to the UC site and register if you are coming. It's free. We just want to know who is coming. Upstate Cruisers GSMTR ‘09
Here is the skinny on the new GSMTR Rally. As I’m sure you are aware, Tellico is under severe threat with a recently announced “temporary” closure until 2011. All along, this years GSMTR was about raising funds for the “Rescue Tellico” effort. Even with Tellico temporarily closed, we are not giving up on supporting and fighting for the cause. So, what does that mean for GSMTR ‘09?
GSMTR ‘09 will still happen but it will be a rally more highly focused on raising funds for “Rescue Tellico”.
The event will run from Thursday through Sunday, June 18th through the 21st. If you want to come early then please do.
We will have a parts swap Friday, Trail rides as well as a Rock Climb Competition. That’s right we have trails! Not the ones that are closed and not hardcore trails but Danny at Crawford's has mapped out over 100 miles of forestry service roads along with several scenic overlooks and places to stop for a meal and a pit stop. On these trails are numerous river crossings, winding gravel and dirt roads and some blacktop roads. But the majority is off road. It’s not what we all want but it’s better than nothing and will give you and the family something to do and have some fun. We will have maps at the event to pass out to those that lead up a group. A sign up board will be at the pavilion for those wanting to group up to do these rides. Rock climbing will start around 2pm on Friday. There will be at least three categories.
We will have a tug-o-war on Saturday. Having never tried this it will be a first so bear with us.
We will as a group drive through Murphy Saturday to show support for the local community. We will all park at Valley Village Shopping Center in Murphy. The owners of the shopping center have welcomed us with open arms. I say we show our support for them by supporting them. After we have had lunch and met with the media we will be splitting up into groups and traveling up the Skyway or on a lower gravel road that follows the Skyway down low. That way you can do what you want to do.
We will have a big raffle at the event on Saturday. We have been receiving steady shipments from sponsors so by next week we should have a good group of products to raffle off that night starting around 7:30. So far some of the big sponsors have been BFG and Iron Pig.
We will have a 5 big item online raffle. This will be announced around the first of July.
We will want to have dinner for Friday and Saturday night. It may be a spur of the moment dinner. As we have not asked for any money to pay for food. We will do what we can. Plan on there being my world famous Rotel for both nights. Just remember to check the forum early next week for more details. But for now plan on making your own dinner.
We will donate all (100%) profits to the Rescue Tellico fund for the fight to open Tellico back up. The event will be a pay as you go event. Book your reservations at Crawfords, and pay for meals, raffles etc… at the event.[/list:u:a05 |
