I strongly believe that. To that end, tell your friend to find an NSN for this fiberglass top.
I'll bet dollars to donuts the glass ones he has seen have been put on by civilians after the trucks were...
Ok folks, I just walked in the door.
On one hand, we are happy to be home. Brian promptly fell asleep in the foyer, even he was tuckered out!
I am going to go ahead and close this thread since it's the info thread. Any firther discussion of the rally can go in he multimedia thread (here...
So how does everyone feel about.......
103 trucks! And somewhere around 40 trailers!
I will have to check the sign in sheet tomorrow as there were a couple of late arrivals (M109A4 and M35A3) but its at least 103 total.

The difficulty is not in being in or out of the vendor area-it's bring int he wrong spot within the vendor area.
The old field was easy-"you vendors go over there, take however much space you need (within reason)."

Zout, Tigger, EMD and 73M819 have all been briefed as to the layout of the field.
The vendor area is marked with signage.
Please be respectful of the numbered posts-these are the power/water spots that people have paid for. Make sure to leave them room.
I also need to remind everyone-this...
They've revised it upward.
