"Build it and they will come"
That’s exactly what happened this year once word got out that an evil obstacle
course was being constructed for this years Jeeptoberfest. 132 jeeps made it
inside the gates before we had to enforce the 11:00 cut off time because to be
truthful, we had no more room. With another 20 or so more Jeeps outside the
fences comments like “I haven’t seen this many Jeeps
in one place since Camp
Jeep” to “That was one BAD ASS Show” could be heard throughout the day. There
was something for everyone. Patrons
consumed almost 500 burgers and hotdogs in a couple of hours, all free of charge
of course, keeping Ernie and the custom Jeep BBQ grille very busy.
The obstacle
course had two possible routes. One not so easy for stock Jeeps and one axle,
twisting, ring gear shredding more difficult side for modified rides. Between
the Articulation Ramp and the
Slow Crawl Course, this kept
the crowds entertained until it was time to hand out over $6700 worth of
door
prizes and awards at the end of the day. Notes have already been taken on ways to improve
next years show. This was a massive increase in attendance this year and I am
proud to say that everyone involved with the show stepped up to the unexpected
challenge and performed flawlessly. Great work people.
