What time is everyone planning on leaving for this? Wouldn't mind following a group, if there is one going by Front Royal or 66 at 81. Can't wait. Never been to Rausch Creek but always wanted to go. WooHoo!!!

We will be leaving Fri afternoon from Alexandria. I just received my Lift from Lucky 8 so I should be all ready to go. By the way Comfort Inn has a RC special of $69.

If we get there early enough on friday can we go on a trail ride?

All you need is two vehicles to make a group at R/C. If you get their and there is at least one other person you can always head out. The maps from the office and online are well marked. I have never had a problem getting around the park. I have no clue as to what the club is doing though.

awesome, thank you.

You didn't miss it. I updated the first post. The manager learned of our rally and sent me an email telling me about the rates.

As I get more information, I will update the FAQs.

Summer Ralley T shirt design.

I'm digging it

Feeling a little bias? *LOL*

Sweet! and I just finished putting on my 3inch lift on today. Now I just have to get some new tires and ready to rock

If anyone is heading up from the Charlottesville area I'd like to 'convoy' up.

Feeling a little bias? *LOL*






Absolutely. 130's rule.
I have a Front Runner SA rack with that ARB Simpson 2 tent that I was talking to you about ready to go on the truck. Unfortunately I don't have the hardware that holds it to the gutter rails- trying to get that before the months end.

I just got the note on the Rally and it sounds great but I'd love to get some feedback from the forum as to whether or not it's right for me.

I joined the Rover family last December with a new 2011 Range Rover HSE with the LUX pack (20" wheels). While I'm well versed on the race track with my other cars and performance driving, off-roading and Ranges are new. My only experience is about four days after picking the Range up I did Rocky Run in the Washington National Forest.

I'm not averse to dirt in the slightest but the Range is also my daily driver so I'd prefer not to trash her. Other than having the LUX pack with the larger wheels and camera system she's a stock 2011 with no mods.

So the question is will there be trails that I can hit with the Range at the Rally that will be fun even with my lack of off-roading skills and a stock 2011?

Also, on the race track I've adjusted to life without insurance but how does it work with off-roading? Do standard policies usually cover you?

Thanks.
