The First Annual Virginia Tech Memorial Trail Ride will be held on July 26th and 27th, 2008 and will be hosted by the Sinking Creek 4-Wheel Drive Association (SC4WDA).

Big Dogs Offroad, located in Winchester, Virginia, has graciously offered to house this year’s event. Registration for the VTMTR is $65 per rig. This registration includes one ticket for a raffle. A portion of this fee is a donation to the following benefactors: Virginia Tech Rescue Squad; Blacksburg Volunteer Rescue Squad; Blacksburg Volunteer Fire Department. These rescue organizations were first responders to the tragedy that occurred on April 16, 2007 at the Virginia Tech campus. All profits from this event, in addition to a portion of the registration fee, will be donated to the aforementioned benefactors. Neither SC4WDA nor Big Dogs will make any profit from this event.

The following events will be held throughout the course of the weekend; Raffle, Mud Bog, Show and Shine. The vendor list for the raffle will be updated via Sinking Creek’s public VTMTR Forum.

SC4WDA is a technically oriented off-highway driving club, located in Blacksburg, Virginia, which prides itself in community involvement. Our member base includes, but is not limited to, students of Virginia Tech and surrounding colleges and schools, and non-students. All club members have close ties to not only the Virginia Tech community, but also the Blacksburg and 4-Wheel drive communities.

The Sinking Creek 4 Wheel Drive Association would like to thank everyone that helped to make the first inaugural Virginia Tech Memorial Trail Ride (VTMTR) an immense success. We were able to raise and donate $1500 to the student volunteer run Virginia Tech Rescue Squad. These student volunteers were the first responders to the April 16, 2007 shooting on the Virginia Tech Campus which killed 32 of our peers. We would like to thank Low-Range Magazine, Arcet Welding Supply, Advance Adapters, Front Range Off-road Fab, High Angle Driveline, Sniper Fabworks, KORE 4x4 Customs, Johnson Conrols, 4x4 Connection, Back Country Driving School, and FOA Shocks for their contributions to the event and parts raffle. Most importantly we would like to thank our good friend John Hunt; without John and Big Dogs Offroad none of this would have been possible. We had an impressive first year turnout of 72 rigs and it was a pleasure to meet all of you.



On Novemeber 9th John came down to the VT campus in Blacksburg, VA to present the VTRS with the money raised from the VTMTR. That morning we took John out onto our local trail where he rode shotgun with the club president. In the afternoon the VTRS gave us a tour of their station and posed for pictures with us.

The 2nd annual Virginia Tech Memorial Trail Ride is scheduled to run on August 22nd and 23rd 2009 in conjunction with the Summer Slam event. We hope for an even larger turnout than last year as John Hunt and Big Dogs Offroad host us again at the Cove campground in Gore, VA. Along with the exciting events of last year like the raffle, bonfire, and truck flop among others, we have new events in the works to make this year’s a blast too! So keep an eye out for VTMTR info, and we hope you will join John and Sinking Creek 4 Wheel Drive Association for this year’s event.
For any info feel free to contact by PM or trowbridge@sc4wda.org
