The “Havoc in the Hills: 2” event will be raising money for BeTheMatch. This event is going to take place September 25-28th, 2014.
Please read below for all event details and feel free to ask any questions. I look forward to seeing the turnout at this event and meeting as many FRF members as possible. The Rausch Creek Offroad Park is well within a 12 hour drive of most major cities in the Northeast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, so I feel it is an incredibly accessible central location for the majority of FRF members. We have some great sponsors and special events planned for the weekend so stay tuned as the FRF's Havoc in the Hills: 2 madness unfolds!!!
