Has there ever been a snowmobile at DGRR?

May El Nino ever be in your favor.

Seriously, I thought you Canucks were supposed to be tough?

I was there the years that the go cart and the hercules bikes were there. Us Canucks are tough, we're just smart enough to know that driving in snow with race compound tires isn't a good idea. We learned the hard way in 2012....

You need a hitch with a tire rack!! Switch to summer tires somewhere around the border of Freedom and 'Merica!

That picture was actually taken in Summersville West Virginia on our way home, so that idea is no good either lol.

But, you'll have the tires heading home!! Your point is invalid!

Seriously though, I want to see the RX-4 again.

So since I REALLY want to do this this year. How do I plan it out? Setting up for a place to stay and keep my car?

Are there places to camp out at near by?

When do entry tickets start being sold?

Phil will usually announce when registration begins here soon (before Christmas). Once you have registered, you can book a lodge room or cabin at the venue (Nantahalla Village). There are some people who do camp, but I have no experience. Because I like to be warm when I'm drunk
