THANKS To ....

I want to Thank Mike Drew of ZEBRA GRAPHICS in Easthampton , MA for the massive amount of work he put into this site with the original design, graphics, and much of the content.

Mike is busy these days growing ZEBRA GRAPHICS and has past the web site duties on to me , the host of the gettogether and owner of this website.

My lack of knowledge of dreamweaver, my other life "demands" and sometimes my procrastination means this site does not get updated or is as current as it should or could be. Hopefully I'll be better this year !( I wasn't, I was WORSE !! )

About NEDGT

Northeast Diesel GetTogether grew out of a desire of GM diesel enthusiasts to meet face to face outside cyber space.

After many months of enthusiasts messaging each other about their desire to get together, Terry Mazurkewicz of Bear Creek Remodelers, and Bill Pendergast of Pendergast Lawn Service LLC grabbed the bull by the horns and put together the first annual event in September 2002.

The Gettogether participants are mainly GM 6.2, 6.5, and 6.6 Duramax enthusiasts. Dodge and Ford enthusiasts are welcome to join us. (And we promise not to pick on them too much.)

NORTHEAST DIESEL GET TOGETHER 2007
SEE it HERE !

The
2007 Northeast Diesel Get Together is now HISTORY !

We broke our past records with attendance both in number of trucks and participants. Highlights of the weekend are hard to choose, with everyone having their own. My favorite is probrably the potluck / icebreaker on Friday evening because its relaxed, and everyone sits around the dining room table or just hangs around the kitchen chatting - about most anything.

Myself and the organizing group had ambitious goals for this years weekend, and most of them were met.

What happens next year will be determined before Thanksgiving, with our goals as always to provide a fun, interesting weekend.

Thanks to everyone who came and supported this years efforts.

Terry and the Organizing group.

GETTOGETHER 2008 SEE it HERE !

coming soon.........

 

The website main purpose is to promote, provide information and maintain a registration area for the annual GetTogether.

We are also trying to make the website a destination on the web. We have added pages for past GetTogethers, CT dyno days, event pictures, a "RIGS" page where an enthusiast can show off his GM truck with a short profile and picture display, links pages for other events, venders, or information of interest to GM light diesel enthusiasts.

Enjoy the website!

Notes about the get togethers

So what's up with past years one day get togethers or none at all?

February 18 , 2011

Life sometimes throws us all curve balls , and the host of this event is no exception.

After burning the candle at both ends (despite the help of a dedicated organizing group for the 07 event) the usual controled craziness became un-controlled.

Another heart attack in July '08 (my third), family health issues , both parents in the Sharon Hospital ER the same weekend , emotional issues with the loss of a family pet, and the ending of a 16 year relationship in the same week in Sept '09 left me drained and shattered.

Worse yet, a couple guys I confided in (from the gettogethers), whom I thought were friends, proved they were not. Unlike some others on the large diesel forums, I try not to bring "DRAMA" into my postings on those sites. (although at times I've been bullied about the gettogether and things have boiled over on some postings)

Trying to keep my head above water as a remodeling contractor in the slow economy, increasing responsibility as the "parent" to my aging parents and the realization my Mom couldn't handle the tasks (even though she really wanted to !!) of hosting the gettogethers meant that as much as I might want to , the energy just wasn't there to put together a quality event the past couple of years.

So, we'll see how things shake themselves out this year. The Spring Thaw Meet and Greet is a "GO" for March and I hope we will see many of you there.
