“This is an event for anyone that plays in the dirt,” said event organizer John Burch, Jr. “We have all types of vehicles participating: dirt bikes, quads, minis/Pajeroo’s, Jeeps, trucks, SUVs, sxs, rock bouncers and more. We even have an RC corner.”

Already with more than 60 entries with more expected as the registration deadline nears, Burch said getting the off-road community’s input was key in developing the event.

“During the development phase we made it a point to meet with as many local off-road groups as possible and ask them what they would want to see in a course,” Burch said. “We tried to make a course that every level of off-roader can do and we tried to accommodate for every type of off-road vehicle. This process was one of the best parts of this whole event. We got a chance to meet so many people and we actually got great ideas from many of them.”

We wanted to create an event that was driverdriven and spectator-driven. I believe that the drivers and participants put on the show and the spectators make the event. Without either any event wouldn’t be successful.

There will also be a spectator raffle for $5 a ticket with prizes over $1000 worth.

The event is open and free to the public to watch and experience. Some of the island’s finest food trucks will be on hand.

Participant prizes include:
9000lb winch
4000lb winch for sxs
$2500 tube work from twisted metal
$700 gas
$2000 cash for bouncer class

Spectator raffle:
$300 cash
$1000 worth of miscellaneous off-road tools/ parts from Home Depot and Napa
