September 2005, Somers CT - Proudly
presented and sponsored by Baystate Jeepers and Northeast Jeep
Organization, the 5th Annual Great American Jeep Rally was
held at the Four Town Fairgrounds located in Somers Connecticut.
The show was a one-day event with about 600 Jeeps in
attendance. There were Jeeps from mild to wild, stock
to extremely modified. For the adventurous, there was a rock
garden set up for Jeepers to make there way through.
There were some people going over the course at slow speed
wearing a blindfold of all things. The local fire
company was also in attendance and braved the course in
their Unimog.
Brad Reinboth of Telford PA trekked 6 hours up to Somers
Connecticut in his Jeep CJ-7 to catch the Jeep Rally and
make a weekend trip out of it. Brad took these photos
and graciously sent them to us for everyone to see.
Activities of the Day included: Rock garden, RTI ramps, teeter-totter
and multiple raffles will took place throughout the day.
Items raffled off included a set of any size BFGoodrich tires, a Warn 9000 lb winch, a Detroit locker and many other
cool things. There were trophies awarded for Off-Road, Street, Beater, Antique, Military, and Best in Show.
Several vendors were there including the Bertera Metro Jeep displaying
the latest and greatest Jeep vehicles and Elias 4 Wheel Drive Center
as well as Domenic’s Auto and Jeep Repair. Food and beverage vendors
were also there to keep the masses happy.
