In an effort to get you more involved and out on the trail, I would like to include two very lucky readers to participate in a four-wheel-drive adventure planned for the summer of 2006. Hopefully, this will be the first of many similar adventures to come. Last year, Scott Frary of Detroit Locker (formerly Tractech, now Eaton Performance Products) put on a very successful trail tour adventure in Washington state. This adventure, in a story entitled "Naches," was featured in the April '05 issue of 4 Wheel Drive & Sport Utility Magazine.
This year, we are ramping up the event to include top names in the off-road industry and two lucky readers of 4WD&SU Magazine. Representatives from Poison Spyder, Dynatrac, PSC Motorsports, MasterCraft, CTM Racing, TrailReady, Quadratec, Kilby Enterprises, and Roberts Jeep will be participating. The event will be challenging, but not extraordinarily extreme, and it will receive full coverage in 4WD&SU as well as on Superlift's Off Road Adventures TV show.
This year's adventure will start outside of Lewistown, Montana. It will be held from June 12th to the 16th and go in and around the state and through portions of Wyoming. From start to finish the adventure will wind its way over and through 1,000 miles of spectacular mountain trails. Amazingly, the majority of the event will be on private property. This is sure to be a great escape!
To be considered for participation in this event, you must fill out an online questionnaire as well as tell us why you would like to attend the adventure and why we should choose you for it. The staff at 4WD&SU will select the participants based upon what we feel are the best and most original responses. Submissions can be made via e-mail or regular mail; they must be received no later than May 15, 2006. I also need to receive a photo of your vehicle, and the rig must meet our mechanical and safety requirements. The readers selected to participate will be announced on 4WD&SU's website and personally contacted. For full event details, vehicle requirements, and rules and regulations, you must visit www.4wdandsportutility.com.
