First let me say thanks to all that came out. There was a TON of support, and a great turn out. I personally was loaded up the night before, had all my DJ equipment in the XJ and staged up in the garage ready to pull out first thing in the morning. I got there about 9am, set up and watched as the rest of the vendors, and the show participants rolled in.
The lot filled up pretty fast.
Pistons Wild was generous enough to not only supply there freshly made RTI ramp but also had the people to volunteer to staff it, direct traffic, and take score:
There was a decent crowd around the ramp pretty much all day as rigs staged up and took their turn one by one:
Fast Specialties -who hosted the event- offered up their Dyno for some runs to those who paid. Crystal's Offroad Race truck made an impressive run, making all those inside the shop plug their ears.
The event was a major success. After the falling out of the whole "dont fear the jeeper" ....this event has stepped in to take its place, and did so quite well. The sponsorship was good, considering the small amount of time that was available before the actual show date. Bushwacker made an appearance despite having most of their vendorship down in Pamona Ca. for the extremely large off road exhibit down there. Metal Cloak was there and showed a massive amount of support. Stripeline was there as well with their new show rig. R&P 4WD Parts was there as well, they had a great display of axles, knuckles, and some fab work. It was nice meeting them abd getting a chance to talk to them. Good guys. Compact Camping Concepts brought out their offroad, all terrain, trailer system, which was an awesome little thing, that I personally wouldn't mind having. Bri & Bub Offroad were there, as well as Double Black Diamond Offroad Magazine. Everyone showed great support, were very generous with both their time as well as donations.
Jordan Green, the man behind it all did an amazing job organizing everything that he could given the short time frame.
The First Annual No Roads Required Offroad Show generated better than expected results. Over 170 vehicles showed up, over 300 people in attendance, over $2000.00 generated, and that's not including the funds that are going to be matched from other sponsors.
All in all it was a great day, and considering the success of this event, you can look forward to a better, even bigger event next year. Jordan will have alot more time, there will be double the amount of vendors, more activities, and an all new location......Fast Specialties was gracious enough to let us use their lot this year, but we filled it up. Next year, there plain and simply wont be enough room to hold it at the same location. Ky, the owner of Fast Specialties, was super excited about the event and even more so for the how it turned out. He's all in for next year, and is already looking forward to being apart of it....... It's not official yet, but after talking with both Jordan and Ky, we're fairly certain that next years event will held at Portland International Raceway (PIR) ....with the good possibility of the use of the motorcross track for offroad use. This is just a sign of things to come, and its looking like this event will be the new precedence of offroad shows in the area.
Thanks again to all the vendors, and everyone that came out, I hope you had a good time.
