TRAILREX ?09; THE BIGGEST OHV FESTIVAL IN THE NORTHEAST SET FOR AUGUST 20-23
Tons of dirt bike, ATV, and 4x4 activities planned for New York event with a goal of building alliances to gain more riding opportunities
The annual TrailRex (Trail Riders Expo) promises to be the biggest northeast OHV festival of the year! This four-day mega-event is slated for August 20-23 at the expansive grounds of the Indian Lookout Country Club in Pattersonville, NY (20 miles west of Albany). Though family fun is certainly the primary goal of TrailRex, the festival is also designed to build important alliances in an effort to increase riding opportunities in the northeastern states. Many riding clubs, dealers and sponsors are already on board to make the festival a success.
Highlighting TrailRex are the numerous riding/driving events that feature classes for a wide variety of OHVs, including ATVs, UTVs, Dirt Bikes, Jeeps, 4x4 Trucks, Rock Crawlers and there?s even a big Snowmobile grass drag event planned (see website for event details). However, the festival features much more than Motorsports competitions as there will be 8 different bands playing over the weekend with professional sound and light systems as well as a fireworks show every night. To keep everyone in the family happy there?s also a mechanical bull on hand, a Miss TrailRex Contest, Rock Wall, Bounce Rides, Dale Earnhardt Jr.s #88 (you can try your hand at changing a NASCAR tire too!), and a special ?surprise? exhibition from the Army National Guard and U.S. Marines like you?ve never seen before.

Great strides have already been taking place in regards to expanding northeast trail riding opportunities. In the past two years, the New York State Powersport Dealers Association (a primary sponsor of TrailRex) has helped riding clubs open over 800 miles of insured OHV trails on private lands. Over 70 dealerships and 26 OHV clubs will be involved in the TrailRex extravaganza this year with dozens of great sponsors on board as well.

From the event manager to me:
You're display area and any clubs that would like to promote themselves is on us. Clubs can display in 10x10 or if you gather enough of them I'll foot the bill on a 20x30 or so tent and we'll set them all up in it. Bring in some tv's show event and trail video and get some new members. What ever you want to try within reason I'm game. Give me a call as soon as you can so we can get in motion.

From what I understand you can camp out right at the event or there are some hotel/motels nearby.
oh yea, Trailrex you're speaking of.
