Sudden Impact "The Ride"
Charity Event!!:
The Sudden Impact "The Ride" team participated in a really nice charity
show for a young man with bone cancer last weekend in West Virginia. The
young man's name was Josh and he turned 13 years old on July 15th. His
wish was to ride in a monster truck, so the team took not only him, but
his family for a ride to lead a town parade for his birthday. The box and
bag seen in the photos are items that the team gave him that were
collected from other teams. The team would like to thank Brandon of Sudden
Impact Racing for the remote control car, t-shirt, and posters. Also
thanks to Rick of Bigfoot for the shirt and toys, Mike Scott who formally
worked with Clear Channel, David Fray previously of Sudden Impact Racing,
and the Jefferson Parish Sherrif's Department for collecting all the other
items from their friends. Mike and David now drive for BLM Motorsports
doing events and donating a portion to children's charities. The team also
visits children's hospitals and is doing some great work. Thanks to team
owner Lee McKinley for the update and best of luck to him and the team in
their continued efforts. Definitely one of those "feel good" stories in
the industry. (07/21/06)

Bloomsburg 4 Wheel Jamboree
Cancelled:
Well, unfortunately since our last update on the status of this coming
weekend's Bloomsburg Jamboree, the event has been officially cancelled.
Here is the official release from Special Events and President Bruce
Hubley:
To: Our Many Friends,
Participants and Sponsors
From: Bruce Hubley, President Special Events Performance Series and
The 4 Wheel Jamboree Nationals
Subject: Cancellation of Toyo Tires 4 Wheel Jamboree Nationals at
Bloomsburg Fairgrounds-July 7, 8 and 9
The recent floods and severe weather in Northeast
Pennsylvania lead the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds to cancel our annual 4 Wheel
Jamboree event in Bloomsburg. We were fully prepared to produce the event
this weekend. We had a team of 20 workers and reclamation specialists on
the ground at the Bloomsburg fairgrounds working relentlessly to prepare
the grounds for the show. Despite our valiant efforts, the town and the
fair board decided otherwise.
Please understand that in the twenty-five year history
of the 4 Wheel and Off Road Jamboree series, we have never, ever cancelled
an event. I fully recognize that many of you must request vacation time
months in advance, work hard to get your 4x4 ready for the show and spend
hundreds of hours preparing for the event. Because of your long time
commitment to us, I really wish that the outcome was different.
We've negotiated with the fair board and agreed to
reschedule the 19th Annual 4 Wheel Jamboree Nationals in Bloomsburg Friday
August 18 thru Sunday August 20. After checking travel schedules for
monster trucks that you come to enjoy and vendors that you come to talk
with about new ways to fabricate your 4x4, we've found that most are
available. In addition, after checking with area hotels, there is plenty
of availablity. We have put in place a system where you can email us and
we will quickly change your reservation to the new show dates.
But you are the backbone of the show. Without 4x4
trucks at the event, we have no show.
So I need your help. Would the rescheduled event work
into your summer plans? I really need to hear from you. Would you be so
kind to let me know by e-mail if you could change your plans and attend a
rescheduled event? You can e-mail me at president@familyevents.com and let
me know your thoughts.
We certainly hope that you can join us in August.
Honestly, we want to host the event for each and every one of you and that
remains our commitment to our loyal 4x4 enthusiast base.
Sincerely,
Bruce Hubley
President
