If you have already submitted paperwork for the 2008 event, well will honor those.
Those not having already registered, download application forms from our website.

Don't miss out on one of the most exciting off-road/on-road 4wd-navigational events in North America. Over two-days you'll drive every type of road known to man in the Great Basin of Northern Nevada, your Navigator & GPS pointing the way. Along the way you'll be searching for Waypoints in order to earn point of 100 to 1000 with your GPS and maps. You'll no doubt bump in to a physical or driving task that will earn you further points. Team with the highest score Sunday morning WINS! For safety reasons, due to the vast wilderness we could be in, participants are Teamed up, meaning 2 cars = a Team. Put your own team together, or organizers will pair you with someone.

For over 12 years ORE has been leading the way with Adventure, competition and fun. Our event pre-dates Geocaching! If you seek to practice your GPS skills log on & join www.geocaching.com

NVTR2009 is open to any/all 4wd (with a low-range transfer) vehicle... must be street legal.

Each vehicle must have a Driver & Navigator - passengers are not permitted.

Please also read the updated 2009 Requiring Equipment document.

Physical ability a must, as their will be physical tasks ala NVTR and Camel Trophy... so please be healthy.

Entry fee $300.00 per car. Post entry $350.00 on/after April 9th, 2009.

Hope to see you in Nevada,

Michael Green

Team Nevada was signed up and ready to go in 2008 until they postponed the event due to an organizer injury and other complications.

As long as I can rally our team members and vehicles, we are IN for 2009!

 

[FurthurOnTheFly]

I was really interested in doing this in 2008 but if they have it in the same proposed location there is just no way I can take that much time off to compete. I believe it was a 10+ hour drive from Phoenix and when you only work 4 days a week as it is getting extra time off can be difficult!

I also just realized my first fender bulge yesterday so I'm not sure how much heavy competition driving I should be doing!

Where was last years proposed location? I honestly didn't follow it closely enough to notice.

The dreaded FJC body rip... ouch! :smilies27

I believe it was near Lovelock, NV....about *correction* 13 hours from my house!

The dreaded FJC body rip... ouch! :smilies27

Yes, yes I'm really surprised it hasn't happened sooner considering its an 07, but its a small little crack (at this point) only on the drivers side so I'm not going to freak out yet. I am however taking it in to the dealership this week to document it.

This quarter of Team Nevada is ready. Let's go.

 

[Redline]

Good. Get your 80 ready. We need to add CB radios.

Are spectators allowed ?

 

[Redline]

I have yet to participate, but my understanding of how it's run, spectating is not really possible.

As I understand it, the teams get a bunch of coordinates spread over a large part of Northwestern Nevada and about 12-15-hours to collect as many points as possible, complete special tasks, not run out of fuel or break the truck, etc and not be late back at the final check point. Oh, and you do it two days in a row.

No spot for spectators to hang-out.

[Pskhaat]

Anyone remember the old Dynastar tips?

And an alcohol tank ....


















Devil made me say that :wings:

Ah yes, as you know...I love a fine tequila, and a Vodka tonic, and unfiltered Sake and we can't forget aged Rum.
















Oh, wait. You were talking about the meth injection system on the Cruiser weren't you. :friday:

This sounds like a good time.

Nevada Trophy

I have done the Nevada Trophy 4 or 5 times. First with our Defender 90 then with a 4x4 Pinzgauer. It's a great event and alot of fun. It's not too gnarly and there is really no reason for body damage.
