Everyone in your vehicle must have a filled out waiver. NO Exceptions! You will not be allowed to participate without everyone having a completed waiver.
FUEL YOUR TRUCK UP EVERY EVENING!!!!!!!


What you need to bring

First and foremost every truck, Driver and Co-Pilot must be ready for the Ultimate cold weather Raptor Run ever planned. A positive attitude goes a long way. We will stay as a group though out this event and arrive at each destination as a pack, this is NOT a race. There will be times where the group is moving along great and other times where someone is stuck. The person stuck could be you one of the times so get out and help your fellow group members, its part of the appeal. Being as it is winter there maybe changes along the way depending on snow level for better and worse. Snow is the key to this trip, while it will be fun with minimal snow, blizzard type conditions make it unbelievable. Please keep an open mind and be prepared to be a part of the best cold weather Raptor Run ever planned.

Every truck must have these items at a minimum before participating in the SnoBall 500

VHF Radio or a MUR’s Radio (Marine VHF radios will not work)
Radio Frequencies (Please make sure that your radio is programmed for these frequencies)

151.820 MHz GLRE001
151.880 MHz GLRE002
151.940 MHz GLRE003
152.000 MHz TRR1
152.750 MHz TRR2

Working 4wd and all maintenance up to date with no major issues
Rear facing amber lights. KC Cyclones or Whelen Vertex are the popular choices
Good tires: With a lot of thread remaining.
Spare tire/Tires secured and located in the bed of the truck. Contact WSI Fabrication, TMX, RPG Offroad or KHC for mounting solutions
2 bags of sand or cat litter
One shovel
1 Quart of ATF Fluid
Tow strap at least 20’ and rated to pull the truck
Winter boots: Lacrosse, Muck, Sorels, etc. You may have to get out into very deep snow.
Winter clothing: Just like above it is more than likely going to be cold and you will have to get out of your vehicle.
Ice Scraper/Snow brush & -30 degree windshield washer fluid


Recommended Additional Items

You do not need a Co-pilot but it is recommended to help with communication traffic and navigating the trails/roads. Plus it’s more fun with someone in the truck with you.
Snatch and tow straps
Navigation: Lowrance, Garmin, iPad, or Android tablet with an off-road map app.
5 gallons extra gas
A Come along
Floor jack and some wood blocks to help support it in the snow
Auxiliary lighting: While it can’t be used on road it would be a great benefit on the Truck trails, Forrest Service roads.
First Aid Kit
