Not sure if I'll be there - I'd love to but it depends on a few things going on this Spring.
How late can we get spots there? I might not know if I'm going for sure until 2-3 weeks before the event....

I'll be either visiting or camping. I'll know which as we get closer.
This year I'll be looking for some items for my M108 wrecker. I'll be looking for a whiffle tree and a proper or newer lifting hook to replace the clevis and hook I have no there now.

Part of our show includes a military truck pull. Typically we do teams of 10 people. We provide all the equipment required to pull the truck. Entrance fee is 10 dollars per person. Last year we had 3 Crossfit gyms show up and they competed against each other. The team with the fastest pull gets a big trophy. The trophy is around 3 feet tall.
We split donate the entry fee to G Company 4th Marine Division at Picatinny Arsenal and the 250th Main support battalion DET 1 , aka the Dover NJ guard unit. The MTA of NJ is a non-profit organization.
If anyone here is interested in setting up a team of your friends, from your gym, etc let me know and I can give you further details!
