Sporin · 08-04-05, 03:46 PM

Come run some of the best private land in southern New Hampshire!

We will be returning to the challenge of Cemetery Hill in Bradford, NH as well as running the great network of Class IV roads in that area. We are also VERY excited to be able to run the trails of The Homestead, NEWJO's private playground in Washington, NH. These trails range from difficult to insurmountable and offer a GREAT venue for spectators as well.

Camping will be at the lovely Lake Massasecum Park and Campground in Bradford NH right near the trails we are running. They are opening up just for us and we will be using their function hall for the Saturday night banquet which will feature food, raffles, music and other entertainment. This year we would like to have a common area at the campground for a SWAP MEET. One man's trash is another man's treasure so bring your pile of parts (we KNOW you have one!)

The sign-up form with pricing is available at www.yankeetoys.org. As in past years, you make your own camping arrangements and pay them directly. You are more then welcome to choose alternate accommodations as well.

The Fall Gathering committee has made a concerted effort this year to keep costs down. All funds raised go toward continued trail conservation, association fees and other club expenses. We appreciate your continued support of the club and it’s fundraising efforts.

Not to hijack this thread, but please tell me more about this magazine, Dave. How long has it been around? How many pages per issue and how would I get a sample issue?

Cruiser_Nerd · 09-06-05, 09:35 AM

See if you have what it takes to wheel the stock trails with the FJ-25's!!

Or beat yourself and your rig senseless on the hardcore stuff!!

Sporin · 09-06-05, 09:40 AM

Yankee Toys is proud to announce that Jim Chenoweth of TLC Performance will be giving a “tech talk” at this year’s Fall Gathering focusing on fuel economy, combustion and mechanical efficiency.

Jim’s rebuilding of Land Cruiser carburetors is legendary and the topic is timely.

We invite all attending the Fall Gathering to join us on Saturday evening.

REMINDER: BBQ Registrations due by Sept. 16!!!! You can arrive day-of and ‘wheel!

peepers · 09-15-05, 07:54 AM

i just registered. my budy is going to come in his FJ60 as well. 33's, locked front and rear...

hopefully my truck won't be subject to the carnage of last year! i hope some of you guys close who are considering coming just show up - it is a great event and there are lots of good people there to meet.

beno · 09-15-05, 09:52 AM

I'll be one of those people who'll just be showing up and wheeling--either Saturday afternoon or Sunday AM...sounds like this'll be a blast.

Best.
