Hi all,
To anyone who’s attended the gunstock off rodeo could you tell me approximately what time it starts and ends? Weighing driving down from Maine in the morning. I know it’s about a 10 hour day on the mountain.

Another Q, if my wife wants to attend with me (my admission covered by Ford for Bronco purchase), and not drive, I assume she can just pay her admission and be a passenger with me?

Thanks in advance!

Usually, they start pretty early, 8:00 wave and a 9:00 wave, with an arrival 15 minutes before. Their helpline is (888) 260-5744, though.

She can be just a passenger or a driving passenger; currently, both options are $195+tax. Driving passengers sometimes run more, but there's no price difference right now.

Here are some other FAQs if questions come up, but we're happy to address here, too! https://broncooffroadeo.com/#moreInformation

It's a great time!

I am scheduled for Saturday, Sept 12. I was told it starts at 8:00am and runs until 6:00pm. They will have lunch and dinner and offer plenty of snacks and drinks throughout the day. The cost to add a guest (regardless if they are driving or not) is $195. And yes, she just hangs out with you on the truck. It's the same cost if she wants to drive but you will need to mention that when you register. There is also a $75 insurance waiver/limitation fee which sounds like we may need. Obviously hotel stay is separate. They recommend staying at the Steele Hill Resorts but it seemed more expensive than staying at the nearby Gunstock Inn & Suites which was closer and cheaper. It's just two guys going so don't really care about spas, pools, or other fancy amenities. We are driving up from NY the night before. Hope this helps.

Cool, I’ll probably drive down from Maine in the morning before the event. I’m less than 2 hours away. Haven’t picked a date yet. Thanks for the info!

Get the wife to drive she might get hooked con, then you will have to share driving duties.

My wife and I attended Gunstock. A fantastic experience. If your travel from Maine is lengthy, you may want to get a motel. You are in for a long, fun, & educational day so it pays to be well rested. We stayed at a motel an easy 15 minutes away. Arrive early, the check-in is easy, but slow. It's a great experience! Have fun!

My wife and I did the Gunstock off-Roadeo 2 yrs ago. She was a bit freaked out at first but once she got behind the wheel she was hooked. We had an awesome time and I can honestly state that since then not a single modification, addition, upgrade has had the slightest hint of being questioned. Go for it!

After test driving my Bronco badlands w/sasquatch wife decided to buy her own. Now I get to go to another off-roadeo next year! 😆

BTW, if you're looking for a reasonably priced hotel nearby that's just 3min away, I would checkout Gunstock inn & suites. I think I paid about $175/night for two beds. I agree, it's better to drive up the night before to be well rested for the 10+ hour day. You can then drive back afterwards or stay another night. I believe training is over by 5pm and then everyone heads back to base for dinner which lasts until about 6:30pm, and then finish off the evening with a campfire/hangout if weather permits. Expect to stay till 7:00pm. I plan on staying another night and driving back home Sun morning.
