When is an Offroad race not a race? When it's a #RallyVenture
The RallyVenture is apply titled, "The next generation of 4WD Adventure" http://RallyVenture.com
RallyVenture is a timed Off Road event with penalties for arriving early to checkpoints and it's been called by some the Gumball Rally or Cannonball run, for off road..
The event will be held July 8-10.
...It requires a street legal 4wd vehicle and involves all types of off road racing and Geocaching style navigation like using various types of GPS, maps, different styles of tulip sheets, and compass's including computers and cell phones for tools.

How I got involved..
...I was asked up to Reno last year by the Founder of RallyVenture (and the Co-Founder of King of the Hammers) Jeff Knoll. I also got to cover the first ever, Off Road Business Assoc. (O.R.B.A.) Summit which is a gathering of off road Business owners who go directly to Washington D.C. to fight for our Rights for Land use and Offroad trails.
I was lucky enough to be part of the one day race as a member of Team #Genright last year in the Inaugural event, and I am Proud to have been asked back by Owner Tony Pellegrino for the two day event as part of Team GenRight Off Road again this year.
The RallyVenture was and still is an Invite only (with a few open spots you can buy into). Most everyone attending and participating are the "Who's Who" in the Off Road world and last year consisted of 22 teams and it is also a huge Social Media event.
Fact: Last year it had the top three most talked about people on the internet for the day, Casey Currie (Monster Energy Driver), Nicole Johnson (driver of the Scooby-Doo Monster Jam truck), and Jeff Knoll (Mentioned above).
Last year for the Inaugural event, I was with Corey Osborne and Richard Garrett in the "Triton JK" and we finished a respectable 7th...This year I will be riding in the TerreMoto and we have podium finish in sight..
This year I am told it may have up to 50 vehicles entered. There is a lot of secrecy to the event as we don't really hear much till the Drivers meeting/Start time drawing, where we get some basic info. At the starting line we will receive our first race packet of info and our time then starts when we are handed that race packet and roll off the start line.
What is the RallyVenture?
Here is s a Great explanation of the next event I will be participating in. This video is Tony Pellegrino, Owner of GenRight, best describing this years RallyVenture.
..There will be fan participation and since it's a social media event. you can Follow us..I will be tagging #Genright as well as posting to my "Shots by Tbars4" fb page (Go there and "Like it "now) and "shots_by_tbars4" instagram.
I will be posting here when possible before the race and will try and answer and update as often as possible..
..We will probably have another social media page which will merge all of our post so stay tuned to my page and I will steer you to the latest news as well as posting live pictures and some videos from the course..(I'm told each team will have to re enact a scary movie clip on live video)..
Plus this year there will be live coverage from different challenges and check points on ustream.tv search "RallyVenture"
This is what I'm parking the Ranger for a ride in. This video is of the "TerreMoto" build itself with all it's custom design and specs as it appeared last year at Truckhaven..Plus you get to see how it moves out at Truckhaven toward the end of the video.
...and this video is of the list of electronic upgrades which have been additionally installed for this years event..
..It's not often I park my Ranger or Explorer when it comes to offroading but, when you get a chance to participate in something exciting and ride in some extreme toys, I'm ok with parking my trucks..
Please check it out, follow along and see who all in the offroad world will be participating and be sure to root for us..:biggthump
