Default Event: The Phoenix Open by GLRE Offroad

Have you wanted to attend an event such as FordRaptorForum’s Havoc in the Hills, but you didn’t have the required off road vehicle?

Do you own a F-150 and wish you could attend a Ford Raptor event and use your truck?

Do you own a Ram Runner, Reaper, built Pre-Runner, Buggy etc. and want to see how performs in a controlled high speed environment?

Do you have a Raptor and enjoy attending events, but occasionally would like to break away from the high speed areas and do some trail riding?

Do you an off-road vehicle such as a Jeep, Ram Rebel, TRD-Pro and would like a place to get dirty in a controlled safe environment without worry of major damage?

Great Lakes Raptor Excursions (GLRE) now has the answer to your problems!

GLRE is hosting a new event called “The Phoenix Open,” the event will be held at the Phoenix Off-road Park in Wintersville, Ohio. For the first time GLRE will be allowing vehicles other than Ford F-150 Raptors to participate. (UTVs and ATVs are not permitted except for the property support vehicles).

What does that actually mean?

For Example:

An owner of a Ford Raptor and his buddy with a Wrangler JK can now hang out at the same camp and have fun off of the track while experiencing 2 totally different types of off-road environments.

Vehicles of all makes will be allowed to participate!

RamRunners, Reapers, Raptors, Built pre-runners, Trucks with Mid/Long Travel suspension, Buggies will all be able to play on the Phoenix High Speed Off-road Course.

Trail Rigs (Jeep Wrangler/Cherokee, Toyota FJ, Land Rover Defender, etc) will have guided trail rides.

For those with off-road capable vehicles that are either too large to fit down most trails, too expensive for hardcore wheeling (such as Ram Rebel/Powerwagon, Tundra Rock Warrior, TRD-Pro, Nissan Pro-4X, Z71, Porsche Cayenne, Volkswagen Touareg etc.) that want to get out and have some fun in the dirt, we have you covered too! There is a “Green Trail” area wide enough for the largest vehicles and just technical enough to get your vehicle dirty and leave the owners with a smile.

What is so different about The Phoenix Off-Road Park?

Phoenix Off-Road Park is over 1500 acres.
Approximately 800 vertical feet of elevation changes
22 Degree hill climb
Groomed high speed area
Small jumps on the high speed course
Technical trails
Green trails
Amazing vantage points to see the high speed track
Grassy Vendor area
Freshly built pit area
Food Vendors
Night Driving *Aux lighting is a must
Massive Bonfire
Onsite rustic camping
Great hotels within 5 miles
Taco Bell… and many other fine restaurants
The property will be separated into 2 types.

Closed course high speed- This off-road track is purpose built with jumps, banks, short climbs and fast straights and has proven to be fun in everything from a stock Ford F-150 Raptor to fully built pre-runners.

Guided Trail rides- Approx. 10 miles of trails with technical areas as well as open “green” trails capable of supporting larger vehicles and those with relatively limited factory suspensions.

Prerequisites to run on the High Speed Course

Vehicles with extended travel suspension, (Ford Raptors, Chevy Reapers, Dodge RamRunners, Mid-Travel Trucks, Built Pre-runners, Buggies, Etc.)
More than 10” of suspension travel is preferred
Snell 2000 or newer Helmets are required for Driver & Passengers
