DRIVERS:
Intermediate to advanced drivers are recommended for this event. Remember, this is event is now considered "in season" for us. This means taking pride in your vehicle, making sure your vehicle is washed, it has all body panels attached, the body panels are all the same color or go along with a theme if different colors, and will pass tech. It doesn’t need to win a car show, but we don’t want vehicles that show up looking like they were in a demolition derby, with unpainted body panels, missing body panels, or looking like you just dragged it out of the woods for the first time in over a year. You can still have fun and have a good looking car. If you have any questions, please reach out to us and we will be happy to work with you. There will be a tire changer onsite. Driver registration will open on Tuesday, March 25th at 6PM EST.
