This sounds very interesting.

Anyone here looked into it?

Yes. I've already got my navigator and talked with Mike Morrison. We're getting the paperwork filled out this week.

Yea until I saw this: Cost: $720.00 per team

That's nothing compared to what the entry initially was. They wanted $1500 and the prize list only consisted of a set of tires. I don't think $360 a person is that bad for 3 days. Being able to wheel Big Creek and the Grand Overland make it better.

Yea that is still a lot for a person to pay imho. I don't know what the Grand Overland is.

I think this would be a blast. Kind of a mini-Camel Trophy deal.

The Ghost couldn't enter anyway. From their "Rules of Engagment" - One licensed, insured, and US DOT road-legal 4WD vehicle

Incorrect. It is licensed and insured and tagged in SC. You will see in Harlan.

Photo proof that ghost is road legal.

I stand corrected...

Is the max tire size 37 or 39? I've both posted on the site.

And the hubs are so much better then the old ones there were on there. I think this race could be a lot of fun. Andy Carter and I looked at it when it was first posted but the cost then was an issue for me.

I messaged them.

 

[akendal4]

39 is the max tire height. They had a lot of people submit paper work with larger than 37 tires so they bumped the height up.

Grand Overland is another property similar to Big Creek. It's privately owned. Scott and Mike do a lot of training for military personnel over there.

We are allowing 39" tires now, seems to be the common tire size on vehicles is increasing so we adjusted. Thank you for pointing that out and we will change it.
Thank you

Body: You have 2 different max tires sizes on your site. In the FAQ section it says:

"One licensed, insured, and NC DOT road legal 4WD vehicle with a payload capacity encompassing all cargo. Maximum: 37” Tires, Total Length 19’, Total Width 7’ (Please confirm vehicle compatibility before enlisting). "

Under Rules of Engagement it says:

"Vehicle Requirements – Maximum Tire Size: 39-inch; Vehicle Total Length: 19-feet; Vehicle Total Width: 7-feet. Participants must confirm vehicle compatibility before entry. Compliance with all sponsors advertising placed on vehicle during the duration of the event is mandatory."

Which one is it?

Still cheaper than a Jeep Jamboree, and looks way more fun.

Edit: Ok, maybe not cheaper, but still more fun.

 

[akendal4]

Well the paperwork has been turned in. Now it's a waiting game to see if we get selected to participate.
