National HDT Rally

Sorry you folks are getting so much rain, at least it has been late at night so far.

 

I will offer to host an open house at my shop if any of you are interested, the shop is a couple miles south of the fair grounds at D and Washington, a block west of Main st. Plenty of parking even indoors, perhaps 8 trucks sans trailers.

Not very exciting but it shows some of these beautiful rigs.

 

Thanks for sharing! I hate it that I wasn't able to go to check out all the trucks. I saw you had a couple more vids on your channel of a few people driving one of Gregg's trucks.

 

And your second video gave me an ah-ha moment when I saw that 2nd Cyclone Toy Hauler at the end with the motorcycle parked under the front part. Just because I've never owned a 5th wheel, I hadn't even thought about that, but great idea to get the bike out of the way, but still somewhat protected from the elements.

 

If anyone is carrying any motorcycles on the back of their rig or in some sort of garage setup on the rig, I'd love to see that too if you get a chance. Just looking for different ideas of how to carry motorcycles, besides always in a toy hauler.

We met Steve in Hutch earlier in the year, toured his shop and stayed at the fairgrounds. His shop is not to be missed. He was very kind and hospitable to us and we really enjoyed our visit with him. He is a really interesting guy and also knows the best place to get killer BBQ. Charlie

Jen and I really miss being with you all this year.

Welcome to all the newbes and hope we can meet you down the road.
Steve and Gail, thanks for your hard work, stay in touch.

Steve & Gail have definitely worked very hard at putting this rally together it shows. All though this is my first HDT Rally it is not my first rally and I am so impressed with the way everything is running. I have never been to any rally that was exacuted as well as this one.

 

GREAT JOB you two and thank you for all the hard work we've had and are having a great time.

Great pictures. So sorry we had to miss it. I entered the hospital Saturday morning and did not get out until yesterday. I didn't even feel like reading the forum. We plan on making the west coast rally. Working on truck batteries right now though. Have a great day and safe travels as you all leave.

No longer hidden in plain sight. Nice article and news story. Next year maybe it will hit the national news.

If you are concerned about that, Glenn, maybe you want to delete your post that really spells it out.
