In honor of Women’s Month, join us for our third annual Avants / Women’s Off-Road event at DirtFish on Saturday, March 9th. This is a great opportunity to meet fellow off-roaders, learn some new skills and have some fun out on the course!
We will have track time along with driving instruction, as well as a hands-on recovery clinic where you'll get the chance to practice your winching, kinetic, and/or traction board recovery skills using our gear or yours.
CLINIC 1 - Traction boards: What do you do when you're wheeling by yourself and you get stuck? In this clinic, you will go hands on with traction recovery boards where you can see how to place them, and several uses you may not have thought of. This invaluable self-recovery tool can help get you out of several situations and is a great tool for every off roader.
CLINIC 2 - Kinetic Recovery Straps: What happens when you tie one rig to another with a giant bungie cord and floor it? Find out when we go hands on in the muddy stuff. You will have a chance to pull a vehicle out using your rig, get pulled out by someone else, or both. Learn where and how to safely attach a kinetic recovery strap and easily yank a stuck vehicle out of the mud, sand or snow.
CLINIC 3 - Winching: In this clinic, we will put on our gloves and show you where to attach, what to attach to, how to use a snatch block to pull around corners, and much more. You will get the chance to pull the winch line out, connect it up and pull yourself or a stuck vehicle out using a winch. Don't have one? No problem, we'll have a number of vehicles on hand you can use to try it for yourself.
Each registered participant will receive a commemorative t-shirt. Limited to 40 vehicles. The cost is $70 per vehicle/registered participant.
Open to Avants members and friends. Note: This special event will fill up quickly. You won’t want to miss it! Spectators and passengers welcome!
Thank you to our friends at DirtFish and Elliott Bay INEOS Grenadier for making this event possible!
