rsb502 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Guys at the risk of being laughed at i have never been to this show or any truck show. How long a ride from NYC to the show and could i go for the day ? Can i buy old brochures and pictures Ponder this, its over 800 miles from my house and I'm trying to make sure my stuff is in order so I can go! Think about my fuel bill in a V8 Superliner from TN!

rsb502 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I actually got the same mileage wit my last E9 as I did my last E7, both kinda turned up a bit!But both got 6.2-6.8mpg every time I checked. Out of curiosity what's the trailer parking situation like, if I make it I'll be toting an old L&N piggyback trailer or a lowboy(with more Mack's), I'm not driving 800+ miles on unloaded 44k camelbacks! And I would need mine for Transportation to the motel, I saw a golf cart post are they ok with personal rides like that I have a Gator that would be nice after a few hours?

1958 F.W.D. Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 we almost always go to the macungie pub for lunch sat and a phily cheesesteak.A Philly cheese steak in Macungie?? I was born and raised and lived most of my life in Philly. I moved "up north" about 10 years ago, and let me tell you something, I have been searching for a cheese steak that even comes CLOSE to what you get in Philly- these Dutchies (derogatory term for Pa. Dutch folks) wouldnt know a proper cheese steak if it slapped them across the face. One time I ordered one and got pickles on it......You could get your ass kicked in Philly for that!!!!

Now, before you say "well swap out the axles" remember that I have TWO to swap out........IF (and thats a big IF) I ever have to do major surgery, she will be converted to an oil burner, but it will be a 3208 Cat....They have a factory remanufactured road version that has an almost identical horsepower and torque curve that is a 2800rpm engine. And before anyone says anything about that engine being a boat anchor I remind you I am not delivering freight on a daily basis and 500 miles in one year would be a busy year!!As long as Detroits continue to be loud, obnoxious, oil-dripping, smoke-blowing 2-cycle lawn boy wanne be mechanical assholes I'll continue to rant!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!What do a green banana and a detroit have in common??? THEY AINT WORTH SHIT UNTIL THEY TURN YELLOW!!!!

daveigou Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 ????????????????If you're looking for an answer on the gator, in past years it has been OK. They asked that they be registered at the show. (don't know if they want proof of insurance - may be covered by your auto policy) Maybe Doug Maney will see this and let you know for sure.

Doug Maney Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Golf carts and similar vehicles are allowed at the ATCA National Meet. They must be registered at the registration booth. We require a cell number so that if the cart gets parked somewhere where it should not be, we can track you down.There is trailer parking for transport trailers and extremely limited parking for combinations. This year the Combination area will be restricted more so than in the past due to the large number of transport trailers filling it up. Quote Interested in Old Trucks?
