the official smoke on the water 2010 thread
 

well we have finally decided on a date or to be more specific a month, April where nobody will be doing anything. yeah right.we are in the process of picking the weekend and we have some new sponsors, this yr, to help out. this will be the biggest diesel event, (in the woods) of the year.as usual it is a camp out/bbq event for diesel enthusiasts, but gasser are welcome to come and park out back. last yr was a great turnout,with everything, from mudding events, thanks to turbo Matt, and friends. and of course the smash em up derby between Crisco and Neildon. it was so much fun, that we had to do it again. so bring you'r tent or camper, and a cooler full of you'r favorite beverages. everything else will be provided, free of charge.we will be cooking non stop sat afternoon, and as usual a Sunday breakfast. it is highly recommended that you camp, because its in the middle of nowhere. more specifically, the Ocala national forest. in Florida. and we don't want anybody drinking and driving. there are hotels within 10 miles of the site for folks that are wanting to come to this event, but not camp out. i will post up a flyer in the next couple of days with the exact time and date. directions will follow soon after.

just confirmed bathroom facility's to be delivered for the weekend, for the event. in case anyone was concerned:moon:

we want to thank our newest sponsor for smoke on the water, GARRETT turbos, Bill Hartzel. Garrett is donating a gift certificate for a free starter of you'r choice. (ford, chevy, dodge.) for you'r truck. who ever gets the biggest fish of the weekend will win the gift certificate. and knowing bill there will probably be some free give away's of garrett products, as well. thanks bill.:tu:

we are working on 2 separate camp grounds in throwing distance of each other for family's, bringing kids. there will be a sign when you pull into the location. flyers coming soon.

heading out next week. to scout out the camping site for this yr's event

here is this yr's SOTW.2010 location...

new spot looks great. we need to trim about 20% of the trail in and its 80% sand. so 4x4 is a must. no mud holes. then it opens up to a large open area with lots of big oaks. the new spot has a much smaller lake with a dirt boat ramp right at the swimming hole. it's perfect for an 18 ft flats boat or v hull speed boat. it just across the hwy from the old site.i will post pics sometime after lunch. looks like you will fit in there pete, with a little trimming.

here's some pics of the site.....
