Was wondering if anyone is attending this? Its at the Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in CT, October 1-2 this year. More info and ticket pricing at www.neoverlandrally.com
I am attending with my GF that weekend. Still new to this game, stock TRD Sport, we hit VT a few times, nothing outrageous (its my DD, so I dont really abuse her). Interested to see the different stuff at the rally. Its my first time attending, so I am pretty excited!!
Hope some of you will be there too!

I mean, is this acutally a thing? I'd be interested in attending but there's no information on that website at all about who the vendors will be, what the activities will be, etc. I'm not spending 225 on a ticket if they can't be bothered to give some details about the event.

I dont want to knock them, we just dont get much activity here in the Northeast. I see a truck dealer and an oil additive company. No real "adventure travel" manufacturers yet but maybe that will evolve as the event draws closer. I can think of at least one van-oriented adventure travel installer and supplier in the area that might like to be there, but I dont see him on the site.

I am not 100% who the other vendors will be either. I have been told there will be others, but I dont know who, or what. I am interested in seeing other peoples' builds, but, yeah, thats a steep price. My GF gifted it to me (although, I have to pay $35 for her, and she doesnt get the freebees), and I would be hard pressed on spending that money if it were just me.
I will report back on it here, with pictures, after the event.

Maybe look at their social media or reach out to the event organizers? Make sure it’s actually happening.

It's actually happening. They post on Instagram, and one of the coordinators runs a local overland group. As to how big it will be I don't know, but it will happen

They have announced some more vendors over the past couple weeks. Some trailer vendors, among others. Again, it will only get bigger if its well attended. And, something in New England would be nice to attend, yearly :)
