This sounds like a fun weekend...I'll be out and will bring some flyers for our benefit event in Aug since you're providing an opportunity to help get word out.

Yellowjacket - We got picnic tables or flat concrete you can lay on. LOL I understand get that back in order. Its new and our first time running this kind of event so we honestly have no idea how the Friday night is gonna turn out. We pushed the event to as late as possible to allow people to make the trip in. The more people we get to show up will only mean that we make it bigger and badder for next year or consider running a few of these throughout the year. I know there is a lot of buzz out there about it. We do plan to sell raffle tickets for the items to be raffled off on Saturday. However, you need to be present to win those items on Saturday.

Raffle Items include - Dana 44 diff covers, Dana 60 hi-steer arms (I believe we have 2 sets), a winch, Trail Ready Giftcertificates, Runck Mfg Gift Certificates, various Maxxis swag and stuff, etc, etc. Too much to list.

As far as Saturday goes I basically tell people its an open house for us. Come play on the hills. Crush some cars. RTI ramp. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will have our teeter toter functional. We added a vehicle Tug-O-War this year so that should be pretty cool if people are willing to do it. If you like Bluegrass music the Rubber Knife Gang will be playing at night. They are a very successful local band with ties to Gravelrama.

Its your call. I am excited for the Friday night race. I want to see as many people and competitors show up for that event so we can justify doing it again and also making the course longer. IMO come Friday.

Please do. That is what the table will be for. I would recommend bringing or finding a rock (I think we have a few we can spare) to weigh them down so they don't blow away. You can even bring info on your club if people are looking are to join a club or hook up with other offroad peeps.
