What Have You Been Missing?
If you have never been there, then you have been missing some of the best 4X4
off road racing there is. Over 300 competitors and thousands of fans from more than 30 states and
several provinces of Canada swarm to the little village of Cleves, Ohio every August just to take in four
days of exciting, fun filled racing.
Produced by the IOK Four Wheelers
and sanctioned by the East Coast Four Wheel
Drive Association, Gravelrama is a series of four events consisting of Flat Drags, Up Hill
Drags, Obstacle, and the enormously popular Big Eliminator Hill Climb. The
Junior Racer competition, which offers many young kids a chance to show their
skills is held on Friday.
This premier event began in 1971 and shows no sign of letting up. Each year seems to get better as it goes. The folks who have been going for years keep coming back for the competition and friendships they have built in the past. If you have never experienced this race, you too will be coming back after your first visit.
Meet The Chairman
Mike Hopper returns for a second year as the Chairman of Gravelrama. Many of you know Mike from his days of racing when he drove "Summertime Blues". Mike's many years as an event chairman at Gravelrama helps him understand the wants and needs of the racer, camper and the spectator. One of Mike's comments at his first organizational meeting was that everyone is a guest at our grounds and he expects them to be treated with the courtesy and respect they deserve. Rest assured you will find Gravelrama XXXVII to be another fun filled time for everyone with Mike at the helm.
Mike is available to answer any question you may have about this race. Please feel free to contact him by clicking here .

Come on! Brag about yourself a little bit!
If you have a Gravelrama story you want told on our site let me know. It can be about you or a friend or whatever. All you need to do is write it and send it in and we will put it on our site. It can be written in email or any type of text document. I will format it to work with our software. All we ask is that it not be something the kids shouldn't see.
