Max Vehicles:10 Min Vehicles:5 Cost:$275 per person Location: Hungry Valley SVRA This clinic is specifically designed to meet the needs of novice off-highway drivers or someone with a bit of experience who is looking for a more complete understanding. In the class we will cover basic information about 4WD vehicles (just enough to understand what is going on). We will cover a lot of safety and environmental concerns. But the largest part of the class is driving technique to get you through a variety of terrain. A handout of the material covered is provided. Here is a list of items we will cover: Off Road Vehicles, How 4WD Works, Driving Technique, Safety, Pre Run Check, Survival & Peace of Mind Kits, Options & Accessories, Overview of options for getting unstuck, Post Trip maintenance, Trail Etiquette & Tread Lightly. The class does not address vehicle build-up options and issues. This class is a prerequisite for Getting Started Off-Road Driving - Day 2. The class will answer these questions and many more questions: How do you avoid damage to an expensive vehicle? What is the critical difference you need to understand about operation of 4WD systems? What do you need to avoid, when descending a steep Hill? What impact does an automatic transmission have on off-road driving? How can you improve your traction by 250%? How deep can you safely cross water? What is the most important safety item you can bring? What are 10 ways to effect vehicle recovery? Each vehicle will receive a copy of Jim Allen's Book "Four-Wheeler's Bible". Retail price on this book is $34.99. This 200 plus page book is chock full of color pictures to illustrate how it works, what to do, and what to avoid. You need a stock SUV or 4WD vehicle with 4 low range capability. All wheel drive vehicles that do not have a 2 speed transfer case are not appropriate for the class. Two examples of vehicles that are not appropriate for the class include Subaru Forester and the Honda Ridgeline. The class is about 4 hours of classroom and 4 hours of behind the wheel practice. Hungry Valley has a practice area for 4WD that we will use. Everyone has a lot of fun. It is a great way to learn about your vehicle and build confidence. The class is limited to 10 vehicles. more info

Come start off in the New Year right wheelin at our first event of 2018.

The Sno*Drift Rally is a performance rally that features prepared 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive cars. These cars race on real roads in a time based competition. The Sno*Drift Rally features two days of racing on Montmorency County roads over snow and ice. It is the only planned snow event on the Rally America National Championship schedule attracting more than fifty domestic and international teams as well as legions of dedicated rally fans. Many teams consider Sno*Drift to be their favorite event due to the unique experience of running the icy, snow banked roads WITHOUT studded tires at high speeds. Top teams from across the United States are expected to attend the Sno*Drift Rally, as well as teams from many other countries. This year Sno*Drift will feature 15 stages that run a total distance of 130 miles. Since 2005 the Sno*Drift Rally has traditionally been the kickoff to the Rally America National Championship and will continue that role for the 2018 season. Sno*Drift received Honorable Mention in 2008, and in 2005, 2011, and 2012 was named “Rally of the Year”, being declared the benchmark by which other Rally America National Championship events are judged. This is the 50th anniversary of the Sno*Drift Rally. The first Sno*Drift Rally was in 1966. The 1973 Sno*Drift was the first complete event ever held as a stage type or performance rally in the US. After several dormant years, the current series was restarted as a national event in Montmorency County in 1997.

This will be the first year I attend this tradition that so many partake in. Before everyone starts showing up or before you need to leave to head over to someone's house you spend the morning having some fun. http://www.themounds.org/
