This was an amazing experience start to finish….
“Bottom-line, there isn’t a grade high enough for what Scott and his team have put together. Five stars doesn’t do it justice. One of the best experiences I have had in the last few years. This is a perfect socially-distanced activity, and would be great for team-building, anyone who might have to do off-road work (forest rangers, law enforcement, etc,.), friends who just want to try something new, or those genuinely interested in a new activity. I will be recommending this to friends and co-workers, and definitely will go back.”

NORA partnered with General Tire and Lodestone Events at the 2019 Overland Expo East. Over the 3 day event, our instructors used our rental vehicles on a man-made obstacle course to train over 650 guests on the fundamentals of off-road driving. It was an awesome event, and the majority of our guests had never even driven off-road before!
