 |
As Some of you may or may not know the Newark Delaware Dodge Durango Plant will most likely be closing at the end of 2008. We've been lucky to be one of the very few car clubs to be invited year after year.
Ok Here's the 2008 Plant tour sign ups and info page!
The 2008 Durango Plant tour will be on October 3rd in Newark, Delaware.
The tour will be on Friday the 3rd of October starting at 9-930 AM.
We'll start our annual event as usual with most arriving on Thursday afternoon. This is usually followed by a kickoff dinner (dining information to follow) and is usually attended by a few Plant Staff as well. Dinner is usually followed up by a Durango Schmooze where we can all talk D and put faces to names that we've never met in person.
Friday morning we'll line up at the hotel for a convoy to the Newark Plant.
The tour usually runs from about 9:30am - 12:30pm which includes a great Luncheon put on for us by Plant Staff.
The hotel info is as follows and please make reservations as soon as you know you'll be attending. Also add your name to the list below and please copy and paste to keep the form flowing.
The hotel is the SLEEP INN and you make your reservations by calling 302-453-1700 and using the code DURANGO OWNERS CLUB. I'll update post with cost per room as soon as I get the information.
As with every year's plant tours there'll be a $20 fee for members and a $30 fee for non members (which includes a 1 year membership in the DOC.) Monies can be sent to the DOC Paypal Address DOCMembership07(durangoclub.com.
We're also looking into some other things to do to combine with the tour.
They're looking for us to have around 50 people max but said we can be a bit over if necessary
BE A PART OF THIS GREAT AND MOST LIKELY DOC HISTORICAL EVENT!!
PLEASE COPY AND PASTE THE LIST WHEN ADDING YOUR NAME AND # OF ATTENDEES
ATTENDEES ARE AS FOLLOWS: (please list name, # of attendees in your group, dinner attendance, whether you sent $$ in and if you made reservations.)
1. Steve Smits, 1 person, Dinner Thurs & Fri,
LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING ALL OF YOU!
Steve
DOC Pres

The plant tour is really "everything Durango"…
Durangos (and some other vehicles  ), from mild to wild…
People you've talked to here -- in person. Nothing quite like putting faces to names…
Yakking about everything from your kids to superchargers…
Seeing how a modern vehicle is made… and sometimes a sneak peek at something coming down the pike…
and…
The people at the plant.
The best part.
Wonderful folks, who really enjoy having us there, really do everything they can to make us feel welcome, share literally every bit of information they can, and listen to what we say…
Worth the trip…
…tom

Are current non members welcome to this event too?
My girlfriend and I, both Durango owners and nuts (she had a 4.7 SLT taken from her, and now an 01 R/T and mine also an 01 R/T), have always wanted to go on this tour but never could make it. But seeing as this may be the last tour to this great plant we'd like to attend.
Also if we're welcome how much would this weekend cost on average, as we both are college graduates and on tight budgets  ?

OK, I can't do a copy/paste so please add Pete and Sue Cartier to the list for both Thursday and Friday dinner. Thanks!
Bring a Christmas toy, yes? Indy, I mailed you a $20 check to the DOC PO address.
