    Official 2020 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally (20GMVR) information thread

    Ok folks. I have the 2021 rally thread up. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/official-2021-georgia-military-vehicle-rally-information-thread.204179/ I am really sorry this has taken this long. The amount of time it takes to go see all these sites, talk to the management and see what...

    Just show up. We'll post the date and location this week. I can't tell ya'll how sorry I am about the delays. I have worked 7 days a week for the last year and a half and I'm exhausted to the point that I'm useless. But we have a spot and we'll have a date and Mac's already started writing...

    I wanted to make a quick post and let everyone know where we're at. I know we're only 5 months out from the typical rally time and people need enough time to get off work. We're doing the best we can - the rally doesn't pay any of us and we're all busy with jobs and family, so it's hard to...

    So Mac and I have been working on a replacement location and we have a couple potential candidates. I'm sending Dave (u/rustyjunk) to recon it next week. We've spoken to the facility management and they're excited to have us but there is a substantial fee that the rally would have a hard time...

    No apology is necessary, I just want to make sure that a narrative doesn't begin to take hold that I chose to end to our relationship with D-town.

    Yes, Mac and I are working on this. We've been to multiple sites, in person, trying to find something that would make everyone happy. The amount of time it takes to put this on is mind boggling. There's so much time in it behind the scenes that no one sees. Just getting our lawyer and D-town's...

    At the end of the day, they could tell you to leave. It's their facility and I think the argument "oh hey, we just all happened to show up on the same weekend" probably wouldn't fly.

    To be honest; no, I had not considered that aspect. When I stopped judging at Mopar Nationals a long time ago, I asked the uppity-ups why they insisted on doing it in August when it was always 105° and the answer was simple: "It's been the 2nd week of August for 20 years. If we changed the...

    So, I'll let the cat out of the bag. Right after the rally, I emailed D-town and asked for a date. There was some back and forth with D-town about the hunters complaining about the noise but honestly, I've heard that from them for 10-12 years. Then out of the blue they send me an email. I'll...

    We did that in 2006. Only did it once as I ran out of room after the first one. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/ss-cookout-trailride-pics.7123/

    So am I. At first D-town gave me the same dates as we had this year, then a few days later I get an email saying "we're looking for a date, the hunters complained about the noise" :rolleyes:

    I just want to remind everyone about our sponsor, Memphis Equipment. Memphis' generosity has really allowed the rally to be what it is. The only place the rally makes money is t-shirt sales. All those other fees are Durhamtown. And when the rally was a cookout in our backyard, there weren't...

    So how did everyone feel about the date this year? D-town bumped us back from our usual 3rd week in October date to the first weekend in November. Was this a big deal to anyone? Keep you from attending due to proximity to Thanksgiving? We're in the process of setting next year's dates so we...

    We go to car shows and cruise nights here in Athens, and sometimes take the deuce. Tell him he can come join us and he can drive.

    So, I'm home. We just finished the 14th rally. I always have this grand idea of remembering all the people who helped put it on and then I get home and know I'm forgetting half the people. I hope everyone had a great time. We didn't know what to do this year, pandemic, mass unemployment, etc...

    Be aware that D-town is having issues with their phone system. I just tried to call to let them know I'd be late checking in and none of the numbers I had for them worked. I texted a friend already there and he talked to the lodge.

    Just got off the phone with Durhamtown, they are having staffing issues due to some medical emergencies (Not Covid-19) and they are trying to come up with staff to send to our field to assist with selling of offroad park passes and camping passes. If they are unable to send us someone, we'll...

    One of our members was smart enough to PM me his insurance card and this reminded me: If you're planning on going on the hardball convoy, send me a copy of your non-expired insurance card for the vehicle you plan on taking. You can PM it to me here or on the rally Facebook page...
