Time to buy another vowel Pat!

Man, we're excited gearing up for the announcement at the end of July! What are your thoughts? Are you as excited as we are? Or do you not care and just want it to be March again so you can come with us and wheel at Windrock Park again? It's okay if it's number 2... just don't say it out loud. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Go ahead and mark those calendars, reserve those cabins, (don't worry about camping spots, we cover that for you ๐Ÿ˜Ž) and make sure your time off is approved. We miss you already.

See you in March.

This all started with a dream last year and has been building ever since. I didn't know if I wanted to bring it to the event here, but I knew I wanted to do something with it.

A few know. But not many. So far, the consensus has been very positive, so we're running with it.

July 31st, everyone will know. Until then, kick back. Grab a beer ๐Ÿบ and enjoy the ride. I know I am. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Check out what our friends with Terra Trophy have coming up in June!

The hardest rally in the U.S. is heading to Kentucky! ๐Ÿ
The Maxxis Tires 48 Hours of Kentucky is coming June 11-14! Rigs and teams from all over the U.S. will meet at the Appalachian Overland Triangle property for what could be the toughest rally of the year!

Teams will have two days to complete a brutal 500+ mile route of technical trails in Leatherwood Off-Road Park and First Frontier Appalachian Trails, as well as sections of the DBBB and KAT routes. And yes, teams are camping on the trails!

Cash payout for winners in the Z1 Off-Road Small Tire Class, Huffman's Fab Big Tire Class, and Unlimited Class! We will also be ripping it up at the AOT property with the prerunner hot laps! Not to mention points for a FREE set of Maxxis Tires at the end of the year!

We took a minute this morning to visit our friends over at Childhelp/Childhelp Tennessee to present them with the donation check from our Saturday night raffle! What was supposed to be a small token of appreciation for the work they do in our community helping children with the prevention, intervention, and treatment of child abuse turned into a speech about the event and the amazing community we have built over the past nine years to fifteen or so employees.

Watching their faces as I was able to share what you all accomplished this year, from our amazing vendors who donated products to the raffle to our attendees who choose to come to the event and spend not only their money, but time to be a part of this, was truly amazing. And the fact that we were able to give $5500 and KNOW that it is going to do something positive in our community is a testament to the offroad community and how great it is.

From the bottom of my heart, and from all the employees at Childhelp, thank you for being a part of the solution. We can't wait to do it again next year โค๏ธ

Congratulations to two of our own, Craig Doyle ( .doyle.7902 ) and Jessica Crockett ( ) for more than competing in the Double 14 at this past weekend.

Jessica placed 4th in her class out of 16 rigs, with an outstanding time of 10:48:00 over the two days.

Craig took home FIRST in the big tire class, with a time of 10:02:00โ€ฆ 47 minutes ahead of 2nd place AND 3 minutes ahead of the unlimited winner! Not only did he win, he decided to donating his winnings to our presentation check for ChildHelp this week!

Congratulations to these two, and if you havenโ€™t check out the make sure you do so to keep up with the next rally and see if itโ€™s something youโ€™d want to do!

For those that were at the event, I'm sure you have questions. For those that did not make it this year, but maybe have heard some rumors, let's dive into it a little bit ๐Ÿ˜Ž

For those not at the event, after the raffle, I made the announcement that this would in fact be the last year of The Shamrock Shakedown. (insert tears here) 9 years under the Shamrock Shakedown brand, would a 10 year event be cool?

Probably. We'll never know. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

If you're still reading this, ๐Ÿ‘. In the gist of all this, essentially what we're doing is a "major" rebrand. Why? Because I had (what I think) is a cool idea for an event that didn't get used in my work life, and I want to bring the name and branding here, to you guys. Since it was my idea. Duh.

Things that will change with the event moving forward:
- Name change and complete rebrand, HOPEFULLY starting Aug 1. Be on the lookout ๐Ÿ‘€
- Price change (not a lot, just a little) because unfortunately, things are just more expensive. ๐Ÿ’ธ
- Cooler "stuff" for you, ya know, to help offset that one above you ๐Ÿ†’
- Maybe some other things? We'll see how it plays out ๐ŸŽ‰

Things that WILL NOT change with the event:
- Still 4 great days at the nations largest privately owned off-road park, camping included ๐Ÿ•๏ธ
- Some kick ass trail rides with all your favorite people โ›ฐ๏ธ
- 2 GREAT food trucks serving the best burgers ๐Ÿ” and tacos ๐ŸŒฎ this side of the Missisip'
- 1 AMAZING raffle with ๐Ÿ’ฏ percent of those proceeds going directly to Childhelp

So this winter as you prep your rig, make sure its dialed and ready, because on March 18th, we expect to see you, your family, your friends, your pups (trail cats are cool too) and anyone else you can think of at Windrock Park for
"_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _"
(you didn't think it was going to be that easy did you?)
See you soon ๐Ÿ˜œ

What a weekend!

- 3 full days of fun of riding
- 2 great food trucks to end the nights
- 1 amazing raffle with $5200 going to our friends at ChildHelp Tennessee.

I think the true testament is in this picture though. This was Saturday night, a little after midnight. After everyone had left and gone trail riding, packed up, went back to the camp and cabins, this is how the event pavilion was left.

Spotless.

Thank you to each and everyone of you for an amazing weekend. From our partners off site and on, the attendees, our volunteers, trail team, and Windrock for keeping us safe and allowing us to do this year in and out, thank you.

If you enjoyed this weekend, do us a favor and tell your friends. Bring your families. Share the page. Invite your groups to Shamrock Shakedown and Shamrock Shakedown Social! Spread the word about your experiences and get them up here next year!

March 18th - 21st 2027
Windrock Park
See you there.
