Off Road Event in VT in August
« on: July 15, 2008, 08:53:09 AM »
I found this on Muddy Oval thought some of you might be interested.

A weekend of ultra hard core Off-Road Driving, Challenge Events and Luxury Accommodations. August 14, 15, 16, 2008.

Due to the extremely high level of driver experience and vehicle quality of the last event I have decided to offer another event in August that significantly increases the level of off-road difficulty. The 4x4 portion is a one way in and one way out event. If you bust the vehicle on the trail you either fix it or leave it. I'm not kidding it's super hard core. I'm also going to offer a Challenge event on Sunday that will test your physical and mental abilities in a day long series of challenge events. More information as it develops. This event is open ONLY to pre-registered attendees.

I think you will find the host of the event is prone to hyperbole.  He goes on to say that he has done it in a stock series rig, yet he calls it "ultra hard core".:rolleyes:

First thought that came to mind when they said inspect recovery equipment, is me getting banned because of inadequate winch equipment:)
