Bronco Daze 2008 is October 17-19 (Fri-Sun) in and around Anza-Borrego State Park, CA. Bronco Central (Headquarters, vendor displays, all activities & lodging) will be at the Palm Canyon Resort , in Borrego Springs! You can 4WD, then enjoy all the luxuries of pools, Jacuzzi, fitness center, restaurant, saloon, nearby gas, stores and more. Bronco Daze is open to all years and models of Ford Broncos, and your other 4WD guests are welcome.
On-line event registration is available here until October 13th (Click on the button on the lower right of this page)! EBR members receive an "on-line only" discount if you have logged in before registering. Your pre-registration package includes: One General raffle ticket, One Bronco Key Chain, One Bronco Daze T-Shirt (if you register before September 22nd.) and One Bronco Daze dash plaque. (You are also welcome to register on-site when you arrive, but availability of shirts, dash plaques, etc. cannot be guaranteed.)
We will have runs on Friday, Friday night, Saturday and Sunday morning. There will be a mix of trails for everyone. Friday morning hard and medium runs will leave starting at 11 AM, the easy run at 3 PM, and an evening run at 6 PM. Saturday runs will begin leaving at 8:45 AM. Hard runs always depart first and easier runs later. Sunday will have a medium run leaving at 9 AM. Everything is over at noon Sunday. We expect every run will have a different staging point, so check-in everyday at Bronco Central for all the details.
Run Communications will primarily be done with FRS (Family Radio Service) radios using Channel 6, Tone 6. If don't already have some, they are easily avaiable and inexpensive. Please be FRS equipped! Run leaders will use long range 2 meter Ham radios. If you are a Ham, you are welcome to join in. CB radios will only be used for backup.
Saturday! A group photo will stage starting at 8 AM. 8:15 we will give instructions for run staging, and the photo will be at 8:30 SHARP! Runs will stage right after the photo. Saturday night a great no-host outdoor BBQ dinner will begin at 5:30 PM (ticket purchase in the vendor area) and our raffle will follow! The dinner price (which was just awesome at the last Bronco Daze) is $15 for adults and $9 for children (14 years and under), including water, sodas or tea. You will pay for dinner Saturday in the vendor area. (When you register, we will ask for your estimate of how many will be eating so the chef will have the right amounts of food available. No obligation, just for planning.)
