Crozet Invitational 7/11-7/12

[WahooJeep]

To celebrate my Birthday, I'm hosting an multi-club invitational event at Crozet.

Virginia Krawlers, NovaJeepers, and Beltway Jeepers will also be at the park on this weekend.


On July 11 and 12, 2009, the Rock Crawlers for the Preservation of Future Access (RCPFA) would like to invite Beltway Jeepers to a day of wheeling at our Crozet, VA site.

(Start time is 9:00 am. Please be on time to get into your trail groups.)

All persons attending must either drive their rig or have a seat in another rig to ride in. NO SPECTATORS ALLOWED at wheeling events. Please take all of your trash and or broken parts with you. Upon your departure, the area should be left in as good a condition as when you arrived.

Mind if a couple of us DSO guys tag along?

I'll be down there about two weeks prior, but I'm going to do my best to make it down for this one too.

Hear a lot of Creepers who've said they wanted to get back down there, or check the place out for the first time. This would be an awesome opportunity for that, especially since those opportunities aren't around too much for non-RCPFA members since they/we (I'm a RCPFA member) went private.

I guarantee that anyone who makes it to this will have an awesome time.

We now have a new camping area that is free of cows!

Wasn't that part of the charm? :)

Note to others...trying to squeeze through this spot will result in a broken rear axle shaft :D

If you desire, that charm is still available! :D

Nahhh it's custom body work - but only if done correctly. Most now-a-days perform the obstacle without the "optional" custom body work.


:D

No problem, but we also scheduled a DSO weekend for June.
