OK, so it is all sorted out. We had to weigh the bad and good of all the potential campsites and this is certainly our best option.
Please call and start reserving your sites, I hope we fill up and need more sites than the 25 above. If any questions, feel free email, PM or call us(see the BOOB contact list). If you need to know what the "BOOB" site is... PM me.

I expect 25-30 trucks, but I'm hoping for more. I'm trying to get TS Performace to let us use their Dyno during the rally either Thrusday, Friday, or on Monday. There will be other cool activites as well.
You'd only need a 30amp site with a pop up. Come on to Ky and bring a friend of two.
On the "other diesel site", 8 folks have already made reservations! Gary (icanfixall) is coming all the way from California.
If you need anymore information.....you can PM me or just post it here.

I talked with Dennis Perry (owner of TS Performance) last night. He is excited about being part of the rally and we are slated to be at the shop on Monday July, 6th. He and I are going to get together in person (hopefully Dec. 2nd) to workout the specific details (i.e. cost for runs on the dyno and whatnot). Hopefully, he will have one of the shop's 1200HP race trucks there as well.
Missy and I were wondering about intrest in other activites like: Corvette museum, Mammoth Cave, Railway Museum (for Mel..LOL), Drag Racing at Beech Bend, Holley Performance and so on.
Give me your feedback.

B-rad, I've gone to two rallies without my IDI. I still had a great time. Not a big deal, but it makes the rally much more fun when you have an IDI with you.
DSBS, Yeah, it is tradition to have the rally over the Fourth Holiday. The offical dates are 7/2-7/6, but some folks stay longer/shorter, depending on their schedules. Wish you could make it.

I'm totally thinking about coming to the next rally. I would like to bring the blue bomber down and have the horses put to the test. Besides, I haven't been on a good camping trip in a long time.
I used to do Banaroo music festival in TN, if I can do that, I can easily camp out at an IDI rally for a few days.
Nothing like driving a dump truck a good 300 miles to get the blood and nerves pumping again.
Think you could book any local bands to play. I'm a big fan of Bluegrass music.

WG, We'll be looking for you in July. If you want to tent camp (I did that my first two rallies) that will be fine. A12-A29 are tent sites right across from one of the rows of RV sites. You might get the "best work truck" award, as you're the only one coming with a true "work truck" so far.
I don't know if I can find any Bluegrass Bands, but the birthplace of Bill Monroe is not far from Bowling Green.
