1 Meal Ticket
1 Driver Raffle Ticket
10 General Raffle Tickets

Additional Shirts $15, Meal tickets (Adults $15, Kids $8), and General tickets $1 each, may also be purchased when registering.


All fees associated with Wheeling and Camping will be paid directly to The Cove. The BBRC is not responsible for paying The Cove for any day use or camping fees.

The Cove Fees:

Driver $25 per day
Passenger $15 per day
Camping $15 per person per day

 

Those requirements seem a little strict for the group I ride with. We have been talking about going to the cove but it doesn't look like we will be going.

 

the requirements are basically a guideline set by our insurance provider (TLCA).

the whole goal with the requirements is to have rigs that are safe.

we don't expect "off highway" rigs to meet all the criteria.

 

Right on. My rig has headlights and aux lights front and rear but no tailights. I'm getting my stuff together to do an exo cage but it won't be done before the ride up there. I also have no windshield I just keep my helmet and goggles at hand.

 

my rig doesn't have a windshield, or any glass really..

if you have a full body and no cage, that is fine.

if the requirements are the only thing keeping you from going, don't let that be the case.

myself and others going will be wheeling "buggy" like vehicles. we are all smart enough to see if a rig is safe, and that is all we are really worried about.

where are you in fredericksburg? I live in fredericksburg as well.

 

I gotcha. Well thats not as strict as I thought. I actually live in orange now off of 621. I used to live off spotswood furnace behind Harrison crossing. Where are you?

 

falmouth, leeland station area.

if you can make the event, it would be cool to meet some more local guys/gals!!

The registrations are coming in at an increasing rate! We had 8 register this weekend alone!

Due to our club size we will not be able to increase our cap of 100 rigs, even if it fills up before Oct. 12th.

The Fall Crawl is shaping up to be a real good time!! Our list of sponsors is growing by the day!!

 

This is what the shirts will look like.

Remember, you get one of these shirts when you register!!

 

If you aren't registered by the end of Fri Oct 12th, then you will not be allowed past the main office of the campground.

The Cove is off limits to wheelin unless you are registered for our event, so don't wait!

Passengers/Campers not driving will not have to be on the list, but if you haven't paid for a meal, there will not be extra food. Again, don't wait!
