What is Get to Know your 4x4 Training Day all about?
Whether you're brand new to the 4x4 scene, or you've been competing for years, you're invited to attend RME's quarterly 4x4 training day. Come learn how to drive your 4x4 vehicle offroad with an overnight campout/instruction day at miller motorsports park where you'll get to meet experienced RME members and learn techniques related to safety, recovery, driving, spotting, land use, and much more. Most importantly, you'll get to practice driving your rig over a variety of obstacles with experienced wheelers standing by to offer advice. This event has replaced "noob runs" of the past.
Who
Everyone is welcome, new members, friends, family, and veteran wheelers. Even if you're not an RME member you're welcome to attend. This event is aimed at drivers, and non-drivers will most likely not enjoy this event. We are limiting registration to 30 people due to classroom size.
Cost
$20 per vehicle (NOT per person). The fee will help cover expenses, food costs, Miller Motorsports Park facility rental and associated fees. This is a heavily discounted rate (normally $35/rig), and it's way cheaper than us getting our own insurance for an event like this.
Vehicle requiremets
- 4 wheel drive (but leave the subaru at home)
Anything from a stock 4x4 to a we-rock buggy is welcome to attend. We have obstacles big and small. Expect zero body damage unless you're trying to get it. Getting to know your own rig and its limitations is one of the most important aspects of being a great wheeler.
Location
Miller Motorsports Park near Toelle.
