Take Back Utah - Parade and Rally

[SAMI]

^ Tow it.. Or, show up in the minivan. It really doesn't matter what you are there in, so long as you are there. Bear wants to see your smiling face.

I'll probably roll down around 9 a.m.

If you take non street legal rigs up to the capital, do you need to have someone bring teh trailer up there to pick them up, or can they drive back down?

Still wanna know if the kids can ride their junk...

As a general guidelline I would follow what the state law says and not have any kids under the age of 8 riding their own machines. Also, I would not have someone between the age of 8 and 16 who has not had the atv certification through state parks riding also. Will they be checking....probably not, but we don't need to risk any bad PR.

There will be parking at 500 w and 2000 so (UDOT parking area) for trucks and trailers. There will be a shuttle running back and forth to Liberty park and the parking lot. There is a map on their web site. www.takebackutah.org

Yeah, the word I'm getting back from Take Back Utah is that children are alright as long as they follow the law and have helmets and have taken the safety course.

There was some bad PR last year from children not having helmets. We don't want to see that again.

The media sticks to that stuff like flies on shit. Did they even mention last year that TBU was one of the most respectful and well mannered parade & rallies that had been at the capital in a very long time? The LEO's said they were impressed with how the event was handled.

last year as I sat in the staging area with others including children a Prius with CA plates whizzed by and shouted "f*ck you!" Classy.

found the link at top of page do'h. Still need times if anyone knows

If you have to unload a vehicle off a trailer, there will be a 9:30 cut-off. After that you will have to leave your rig on the trailer to be in the parade.
You can join the parade right till it starts if you don't need to unload.

Anyone that can't make it in time for the parade, just come on up to the Capital. Well all end up there anyway.

Tried to get out of work, it's not gonna happen. I'll be rooting for you all from the 9th floor...

So im guessing you have to shuttle back to get the truck and trailer then go load up at the capital? That sucks

Last year they closed state street for the drive up to allow for all the non legal vehicles, I assume this year will be the same, it may suck to get it back down but the drive up is well worth the hassel, you have always wanted to drive your junk in a parade and nows your chance, enjoy it!!!!

 

[Herzog]

If you get there early enough you could probably unload then drop the tow-rig off up top and hitch a ride back down with somebody before the parade starts. Then you won't have to worry about it after the rally.

 

[TJDukit]

I'll probably show up but since I'm in the Air Force I can only "Attend political meetings or rallies as a spectator when not in uniform." I'll still show up and be there but I really should not join the parade.

 

[Ima9er]

like i stated before ill be there and i think i would like to get together with a bunch other people to move our tow rigs and trailers to the capital and hitch a ride back before the parade. i think that would be a great idea. i'm way excited to "drive my junk in a parade"

 

[Maverick]

Freakin' Autozone starter....

As soon as they open I'm going back to get my old one, put the new solenoid on it, and use the old motor since it actually fits and doesn't grind.

Brett (see you all at 10)

 

[Maverick]

Made it! Great rally, saw lots of folks from all over the state and even friends from Nevada! Hats off to the organizers, nice job!

 

[ttora4runner]

Don't think I've seen that many Jeeps or ATV/Dirt Bikes in one location before. Heck, I even saw a minivan and a Smart car in the line up for the parade.

Good time. Thanks to those who orgainzed it.
