These guys are trying to organize a national UTV rally. Some pretty cool areas are being kicked around for locations, Moab in Ut, Alpine Loop in Co, Little Sahara in OK, to name a few.

Join and give your .02

If they decide on Moab I'm really going to try to make it. Look at the incredible pics in this thread!!!

http://www.utvrally.com/viewtopic.php?t=56

I was gonna bump this thread today anyway and you beat me to it.

I am up for Moab or the Alpine loop in Co. Ive wanted to go to both places for years. If it is in Colorado, I'll be going throuh Moab on the way home. Looks like a two weeker to me. I Better go check my vacation accrual.

By the way there is some 80 members or so on the site and it looks like they are going to put it to a vote this week so if you are at all interested in this rally, sign up and give your .02

Moab has the edge now but only 23 of 85 have voted.

Thanks for posting this Kevlar. We welcome everyone to come over and check out the locations being voted on as we speak. It's going to be a great event, something you'll definitely wish you hadn't missed. Here's where the voting is located: http://www.utvrally.com/viewtopic.php?t=59

Hot Springs Arkansas is tied with Moab. Yikes! its 1700 miles from Ca. Dont see to many from this side going that far.

I agree Kevlar. But, if folks from the weste start voting, they could easily make Moab or Alpine Loop Colorado. The question is if the duners UTV / SxS can handle our terrain out here. J/K of course, and would love to have all of you out for our event. It's going to be a great time!

Chris

Chris

Anyone else from this site planning or thinking about going? We are registered at Archview RV Resort with a 50 amp site (could get hot). I hear there are 40 or so sites left. Please post up!

And for those that know Kevin, he's nominated himself as a Trail Guide. Is that good or bad?

Chris

Nobody knows me, they only know my backside through the dust!

I am in. Got my reservations at the Archview. Headed to St. Anthony after Moab.

Right on Crowdog, looking forward to meeting you. Will this be your first time at St A's ?

That's awesome Jon! We just got agreement from Wally Cahill at Motorsports Mania to televise the event on a 2 show run, and 5 weeks of coverage. Exciting news!

Chris

More great news!

TrailPass and ToyHauler Magazine are our newest sponsors. Things are definitely getting exciting!

Chris

Dammit, kids don't get out of school until the 14th.

I've been to St. Anthony two other times, but it has been a few years.

Well, that stinks.

Chris

Hate to do it but this is why this trip is a guys trip only for us

well I dont know about you but My vacation is more important then a few days of missed school, espcially the last week or two when all they do is mess around. I am going from the 1st all the way through to the end of the event. and cant wait to go. I will be seeing my ranger for the first time after the work that Is being done on it.

Too each his own, I look at it as any day of education for my child is more important than any play time of mine.

Well well Ramsfan, welcome to GD.com.

You are lucky you can go for that long. In my case my son's last day of school is the 8th, so he will be taking finals while I'm doing a little adult only R&R

I did my best setting up a vote for the dates, and this was the dates that most people voted on. I'm sorry it doesn't fit in your plans Middy, because we'd sure like for you to come.

Chris

Oh man, this sounds awesome! We were there last year at this time mtn biking and rafting the Colorado....HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!! It was well into the hundreds last year at that time.

We want to go back but are in the midst of planning a trip to Europe for that week...maybe I can get it postponed as I'm supposed to check on pricing and availability tomorrow

what ever happened to school being out in May? as for the education of my kids they all and I mean (5) get A's and maybe fall as low as b- during the year but the average is A so I can bear to take them out a couple of days early if I had need to, now if the were getting lower grades then I might rethink it but as of now A's which is something I didnt see much of when I was in school so I feel if the keep it up the deserve some rewards like this vacation they really want to go and see new places.

as for the temps there I believ it will be fine people go there all year round and I am ready for this rally due to all the sponsors and many different people that will be there it wil be awesome.

I'm not trying to discourage anyone, just sharing my experience from this past summer. I'll be going that weekend if I can swing it, it's awesome there, my family loved it and were talking about going back before we even left.

More great news!

We've had an overwhelming response by folks in the industry that want to be part of the Rally. Stay tuned in the next couple of weeks for some late-breaking news.

Things are starting to kick into high gear with the Rally, and I can't say enough how much I appreciate all of our committee member's hard work. This week has turned out to be a big success:

1) Mayday Industries - www.maydayindustries.com are donating first aid kits to all our trail guides and a large 100+ person trauma kit as well

2) Powertank - www.powertank.com is donating a couple of their new mini tank setups and some tire repair kits.

3) Side x Side Graphics - www.invisionpowersports.com are donating a sick looking rhino graphics kit

And, we have verbals from two major aftermarket vendors to be platinum sponsors which should be finalized next week. Stay tuned for the latest issues of Cartwheelin', Side x Side Action, and Toy Hauler Magazines with our ads. It's going to be a great event, and we couldn't do it without the unbelievable level of help we're receiving from everyone. Thank you,

Chris

100+ person trauma kit!

that would be cool I hope to see you there and dont forget to get your spots now as we have all the cabinreserved at archview and the other spots are going fast

The cabins, as Scott said, are booked, but if you'd like one there's plenty of room still available at Moab Valley RV. Ask for Jessica (435) 259-4469 It's just down the road from Archview.

Chris

Hey folks,

I know I've said this before, but it's very important that if you intend to be at the Rally that you get your reservations setup at Archview Resort or Moab Valley RV Resort. The PRCA Rodeo is in town the same weekend, and I just got a message from one of our sponsors that the hotel rooms are few and far between. http://www.discovermoab.com/calendar.htm

If you're bringing an RV or plan to tent camp, call Archview @ 800-813-6622 and leave a message for Kate indicating what you need, what date's you're planning to be there, and your contact information so she can call you back to confirm.

All of the cabins at Archview are already booked, so if you'd like a cabin, please call Jessica @ Moab Valley RV Resort at 435-259-4469. And, if when you call Archview the RV spots are booked, call Jessica for those as well. Here's a link to the campground information: http://www.utvrally.com/viewtopic.php?t=63 and here's the event registration page: http://www.utvrally.com/viewtopic.php?t=101

Would this be considered spam?

Hello folks,

Stuff is really getting exciting at http://www.utvrally.com , and we hope you can join us at Moab. This week we've added two additional sponsors:





We're already nearing $13K worth of prizes, and it's growing every week. In addition we've redesigned the main page to make navigating the site a little easier. If you have any questions about the Rally, please don't hesitate to ask.

Chris

Hello everyone,

This past week has been very hectic, in a good way. We've had some serious additions to our quickly growing list of sponsors, such as:

Yamaha
ATV Television
ATV Illustrated Television
Legend Air Suspension
Seizmik (aka Kart Accessories)
Elka Suspension
Bikeman Performance
Ramsey Winch
Pro Armor
PCI Radios
Vector Manufacturing
Rock Hard ATV
Cliffhanger Rentals
Acro Lights
Arizona Sports Center

This puts us at 3 television shows with over 55 million viewers, not to mention the latest issues in Cartwheelin', Side x Side Action, and Toy Hauler Magazine's full page ads. On top of that, Seizmik and Elka Suspension were nice enough to put some posters up at their booths at the Dealer Expo this past weekend.

We're expecting this to be the largest, highest profile UTV specific event in 2007. Next year, we're planning to do 3-4 events nationwide, so if this year's timing or location doesn't fit well with your schedule, come join us anyway so we can get your input on next year's locations.

Please keep in mind that registration ends on April 30th, and cabins and rv spots are booking up fast. It's going to be a lot of fun, and we hope you can join us. If you have any questions about the Rally, please don't hesitate to email us at chris@utvrally.com

Chris

But, if you’re ready to register, please go here: http://www.utvrally.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57

There's approximately $30K of prizes being given away so far, which you can check out here: http://www.utvrally.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94

Exciting News!

In conjunction with Legend Air Suspension, we're hosting our second UTV Rally in the Black Hills of SD on September 1-3rd, 2007. For more information and updates, please visit us here: http://www.utvrally.com/forum/showthread.php?t=171

Chris

Anyone know what the average temps are during that time of year? Seeing as I live in Phoenix, I really don't want to go from one oven to another for a vacation.

Upper 80's low 90's.

Chris

Full Hook ups, 50 amp service, 2 A/C units, and a lot of............

Hello everyone,

Things are really shaping up for our first Rally in Moab. Here are a few updates:

- Raffle Prizes are nearing $30K: http://www.utvrally.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=17

- The Black Hills UTV Rally is going to be held on Sept. 1-3rd, 2007. For more details, please go here: http://www.utvrally.com/forum/showthread.php?t=186

- If you've already registered for a place to stay and for the Rally, thank you. If you haven't, please go here to register: http://www.utvrally.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57

THE REGISTRATION DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO THE DAY OF THE EVENT! BUT, T-SHIRTS WILL BE MAILED TO THOSE THAT REGISTER AFTER OUR T-SHIRT DEADLINE WITH AN ADDITIONAL $5 COST FOR SHIPPING. IN ADDITION, THERE'S A CHANCE THAT THE DINNER ON SATURDAY NIGHT WILL BE LIMITED TO FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE(MEANING PRE-REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS FIRST). After talking with numerous people that conveyed that April 30th was too soon for the cutoff, we've extended it to accommodate those folks.

- Archview is booked (RV & Cabins, tent sites still available) and Moab Valley RV Resort is booking up fast. The PRCA Rodeo is in town the same weekend, so if you're thinking about reserving your spot late in the game, I'd reconsider because you may not have a place to sleep. Moab Valley's information is here: http://www.utvrally.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27

- If you have already registered, please make sure you follow the instructions here to get your OHV permit: http://www.utvrally.com/forum/showthread.php?t=54

- Last, we've added a Buy-Sell-Trade section to the forum. Please be descriptive and include pictures & prices if you can. It should be a good way to find out what people can bring to the Rallies, instead of having to ship stuff, if desired.

That's it for now. Stay tuned for more details soon.

Chris

I made reservations today.....We will be there. Thinkn we might try to hit St. Anthony afterwards...how far is it??? never been there before!

Try to hookup with Crowdog on his site http://www.duneguide.com/snitz/default.asp He is planning to do the same thing as you. St Anthony is about 475 miles north of Moab. Well worth the trip.

See you in Moab

Did you register for the rally also?
