I am waiting on respones from a few other companies. The event is a fund raiser for Families of Fallen Soldiers in conjunction with the Purple Heart Association. Our event last year will be in April's Issue of Diesel Power. The event is called:

10,000 lbft of Torque in the Southwest

Last year we had 30 trucks show, we rolled 26 on the dyno and had a monster truck, BBQ, give a ways, door prizes, class trophies ect.... It was a great time and a great cause. We raise money to help offset travel and lodging expenses of the families that have lost a Hero. Anything you can donate for the event would be greatly appreciated.

This year, we have Ford, Chevy and Dodge dealers attending the event and are going to place new trucks on the rollers. We are going to have a traveling trophy for the dealers and they are helping us with TV promotions.

Keep an eye open for the event and would love to see as many of you guys/gals that can show!

UPDATE: We are looking at having a videographer school come to film the event. They get to have a class project and we get copies of the event on disc!

 

Wow!

This sounds badass!

And for a good cause, too.

Thanks for putting this together, Chris!

I'd like to attend... I'll put it on my calendar!

 

I think all the AC/DC crew should come! I can house a few people at my place if needed

 

I wish we had something like this in our area. I am currently in Afghanistan and just 4 days ago I lost a good friend and families lost there loved ones. I love this kind of thing a very noble and kind thing to do. I wish you all luck.

GOD PRAISE THE TAX PAYERS FOR OUR EQUIPMENT!

 

Ram you and your guys/gals and their families are in our prayers. Come home safe buddy and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!

 

Well, Can't speak for the rest of the Crew, but I'm DEFINITELY thinking of a ROAD TRIP!!!

 

sweet. you need a place to stay you can crash at my place. not the hilton but cold beer can be had and a place to relax.

 

Cool man! I'll let you know.

 

Just got confirmation that we will be having a professional cinimatography group there to film the event and have DVD's available. the videos won't be available til near August but what the heck. this is cool
