Prerunners with 11+ inches of suspension travel are now invited to participate in Havoc 4.
For the 4th year the Ford Raptor Forum (FRF) has joined forces with Great Lakes Raptor Excursions (GLRE) in setting up the largest Ford Raptor event east of the Mississippi. Being held at the Phoenix Off-road Park once again which sits on 1000 acres with trails specifically setup for Ford Raptors , 2016 will be bigger and ever more fun than 2015. New trail additions, expanded pit/camp area allowing easier access to the course, live entertainment in the evening, all will make this the best Havoc yet! As in the past participants will receive event t-shirts, swag packs (including sponsor items, stickers and/or brochures) and door placards.
