As Joe said, we started discussing the planning of the Jambo in recent weeks. I'll be calling Paragon this week to see what dates are open. I'd prefer to have it in mid to late June to avoid getting too close to GSMTR (which is in mid-May). I personally think Paragon is a great venue for the event, despite last year's weather problems which were obviously beyond anyone's control. I wouldn't be opposed to having it somewhere else if the majority of folks could agree on someplace other than Paragon. Here are my takes on the possibilities mentioned above:

Tellico: I love Tellico, but there aren't a whole lot of trails for the bone stock crowd. Of course, I don't remember too many bone stock rigs showing up at the last Jambo. The advantage of Tellico is that there would be a much smaller entry fee and it is closer for some of us southerners.

Uwharrie: Uwharrie is only about an hour from where I live, so that part would be great for me. However, there are virtually no trails that will really challenge a built rig (33's and 2 lockers). Lots of stuff for the stockers, not much for the rockers.

Raush Creek: Heck, if I'm driving all the way to PA, I wanna go to Paragon! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


More info will be coming soon, but let me know what you guys think.
