General Rules
Be respectful to all staff and spectators.
Leashed well behaved dogs are allowed.
Be respectful to the property. The owner has put in a lot of help making sure the Rally happened and we want to make sure we are allowed to come back next year.
No one other than event staff is allowed within the fenced off areas at any time.
Do not drive your Jeep over 5mph. (exception being the mud trench)
This is a family event, conversations and language should reflect that.
No alcohol or drugs allowed anywhere on the property, this includes the parking areas. Anyone found drinking or using will be asked to leave and may have to have a conversation with an officer.
Please throw trash into the trash cans and not the porta potties.
All pets must be leached at all times. If your pet does not do well around other animals or people please leave them at home.
There are 3 raffle times during the day. If you win an item in any raffle it must be claimed before the end of the last raffle.
Any violation of these rules may result in you having to leave the premises.

Rock, Mud Trench and RTI Ramp Rules
All drivers and passengers are required to sign a waiver.
No passengers under the age of 10 yrs old.
All drivers and passengers must keep their seat belts on at all times.
No passengers are allowed out of the Jeep while on the rock pile, in the mud trench or on the RTI ramp.
No one other than event staff is allowed within the fenced off areas at any time.
Jeeps must have front and rear recovery points for the rock piles and mud trench.
Jeeps must have a roll cage or factory solid roof.
There will be rig requirements for the hard rock course.
If no forward movement is made after 5 mins Jeeps will have to exit the rock pile / mud trench. For the mud trench folks this may involve staff pulling your Jeep forward or backwards in the trench.
Drivers must adhere to all directions given by the staff.
If at any time you feel uncomfortable or feel you have reached your limit of driving skill let a spotter know and they will help you off the rock pile as quickly and safely as possible.
No high speed runs, rock crawling only.
When told you have reached your furthest point on the RTI ramp stop. Flopping a Jeep on those may make for great photos but makes for a costly recovery and holds up everyone else that wants to try it out.
Any violation of these rules may result in you having to leave the premises.

Keep in mind that our main goal at the Rally is for everyone to be safe and have fun. If at any time you feel something is happening anywhere at the Rally please notify a staff member or one of the police officers on site.

So with all of that said lets have a great day and make this the absolute Best Rally Ever!!!
 
Sorry I won't be able to help out. They always have this damn thing the same weekend as Jeep Jamboree USA in the Catskills and I go there with other friends and family.
 
I'll be at the mud pit and rock course as usual!! hopefully ill have a little surprise by that time to bring w me...
 
I am hoping to make it out there.

EDIT: Just realized that this is only 10 miles from my house. I should definitely be there.

If it doesn't rain, the dust cloud will engulf your house if you're only 10 miles away. LOL
Picture 900 jeeps in a corn field when it hasn't rained in weeks.

I hope the grounds get watered down good.

Here is a general diagram for the parking this year. As you can see we have more overflow space this year and it is closer to the action. ALL JEEPS will still use the same entrance as last year, including any trailered Jeeps.

All trailers will be directed back to the red parking area regardless of how many Jeeps are in the other lots. We want to keep the other lots clear for just Jeeps.

Just as last year we will have volunteers in the parking areas so please follow their directions. They are in communication with each other so they know the big picture so even if it seems like they are directing you somewhere that doesn't make sense trust them they are guiding you properly.

We can not hold spaces for your friends. If you want to park with your friends you need to enter together. When parking hundreds of Jeep an hour we need to get you in, lined up and parked as fast as possible.

There is no drinking anywhere at the Rally, this includes the parking areas. And of course no speeding. If you are seen driving too fast you may be asked to leave the Rally.
