ECORS is proud to announce our alliance with the Uwharrie Off Road Training Center for the 2012 Fall Uwharrie OHV Jamboree to be held October 13, 2012 in the Uwharrie National Forest!!!

The Fall Uwharrie OHV Jamboree will have an array of activities to keep you and your family occupied. Whether you drive a stock Jeep, truck, or have a full custom race buggy, there will be action for you!

Here are a list of activities that are scheduled:

Camping
ECORS 4x4 Games on Saturday open to anyone!
Swap Meet
4x4 Vendors (complete with test drives of some cool, new rigs!)
Club vendor booths
helicopter rides
good food
trail riding in the Uwharrie National Forest

The Jamboree is even partnering with the local 7th Annual Uwharrie Mountain Festival http://www.uwharriemountainfestival.com as well as "Run to the Country" car and bike show!

Camping is available for Friday night and Saturday nights
If you have a ton of parts to sell, bring em, there will be a TON of people there!!!
If you are a 4x4 shop or know of one, come on out and set up, there will be a TON of people there!!!
If you have skill (or think you do) at driving, come on out and try out the ECORS 4x4 Games! Here is a list of the games and a little info about them:

Balance Beam: Drive up to balance in the fastest time!
Roll to the line: You have a starting line, cut off line and a finish line. Start and once you reach the 'cut off line' one must put the vehicle in neutral, no brakes and no throttle- only steering. A Judge will be navigating (passenger seat) to verify. One will try and come to a stop, using steering to scrub off speed, as close to the finish line as possible with the front right (passenger) hub. A measurement is taken. Closest to the finish line wins!
Ball and Post: You have a start and finish line (same line) and one ball and two posts (75 feet apart) and a turn around area or box. One starts and drives to the first post to take the ball off the top off the post from the drivers side. The driver then hands the ball to the passenger who puts the ball on the next post (passenger side obviously). Driver then drives to end (box), does a 'J' turn, drives back to post and passenger gets ball off of post (passenger side obviously) hands the ball to the driver who then puts the ball on the last post (driver side obviously) and then drives to finish line (box) where the the time is stopped. The ball needs to remain balanced for at least 2 seconds on top of the post (If it is windy). Confused -? I hope not - That game is fast paced and fun!! Fastest time wins!
Blind Dog Run: I think the most fun of all the games! A course is setup using posts and tape, flagging or pennant flags on a string. The driver is blind folded, the navigator tells the driver what to do! This will take place over obstacles and sharp turns! Time is added to the clock if your vehicle touches the tape and even more time if posts are hit or knocked down. Fastest time wins!
Nudge the Jug: Serious driver and navigator skill is needed for this one! The object is to knock the ball off the jug without spilling any water! Similar or same- start/finish line and 'J' turn as in the 'Ball and Post' game. This game uses plastic gallon milk jugs, water and a tennis ball. You better have some extra of these items! From the starting line one drives to a jug filled with water, on the ground, with a tennis ball on top of the jug (cap removed). Driver first stops at the jug, on the passenger side, with the jug at the front right (passenger) tire. The driver attempts to knock the ball off. The navigator needs to help the driver approach the jug! Then the driver goes to the end/box, does a 'J' turn and returns to the jug on the drivers front tire and attempts to knock the ball off. Then drives to finish line/ box. Time is added if water is spilled and even more time added if the jug is crushed or damaged. !! Fastest time wins!
Slalom Run: Timed event! This game has a separate starting line and finish line. One will start and weave between the traffic cones spaced evenly (maybe) on semi-rough terrain, to a finish line at the end. Fastest time wins!

Top 3 in each game will win a trophy! Points won over the day at each game will count towards the top 3 overall winners! This is 100% driver and navigator skill, not racing and not who has the fastest or most expensive rig! Everyone has a fair chance to win! Come on out and really test your skills! I'm sure you'll be surprised!

Remember, keep October 13 open and plan to make it out to the Uwharrie Jamboree! Proceeds benefit Friends of Uwharrie to help keep Uwharrie open so it doesn't meet the same fate as Tellico! Come on out and support the cause! 1st place overall gets prizes to include shirts, ECORS swag, and they get a VIP Package for any ECORS race in 2013 which includes free entry and camping for 4 and you get to be Grand Marshal and wave the green flag. We'll even pull you up in front of everyone at the awards and pat you on the back and inflate your head a little!!! The Uwharrie Off Road Training Center is also offring a free off road class to the winner!

So, take a few minutes to read the flyer and fill out the entry form. We appreciate the support you all have given ECORS and we are here to give back and help support the local trails and volunteer our time and efforts for a good cause. Make some time this fall and join us at the 1st Annual Uwharrie OHV Jamboree at the Uwharrie Off Road Training Center in Troy, NC October 13, 2012!!!!

See you there!!!
