Description

Please familiarize yourself with the registration process - FAQ's, pre-registration checklist, and more at https://www.gdrvnationalrally.com/ The FAQ has been assembled over years of events, and covers nearly every question you might have. Please be sure to review it as it contains important information regarding the event, registration, arrival, and more. A Personal Note from the Wagonmasters: The registration process for 2023 is similar to last year, where major changes were implemented. The stark reality is there are substantially more people interested in attending than there are sites available. The process is structured to limit the amount of information you will need to purchase your ticket, and made self service options available for getting additional tickets (guests, excursions, activities) available AFTER your primary registration. This is a careful balance between the minimum amount of information we need to make sure we have a smooth-flowing event and speeding folks through the process. Part of this balancing act, and an important one, is how much time you get to complete your registration. When you start your registration, you will have a set amount of time to complete the process. There will be a counter on your screen that shows you how much time is left. During this time, your ticket is held - meaning anyone else who attempts to get a ticket will only see tickets that are still available - however, if you do not complete within that set time period, you will lose the hold on that ticket, and will have to start over from the beginning. We have been asked multiple times why we don't add more fairground sites to make the event more accessible. The unfortunate reality is we are limited by infrastructure (power, water, etc), and in terms of staff and volunteers. Going from 600 -> 660 is not simply the addition of 10% more work, it is exponential and likely requires 30% more resources. Frankly, bigger is not always better, and the current size is likely to remain in place until we can ensure that scaling larger will come with the quality you have come to expect. Our goal is to make this an enjoyable experience for everyone, and we are working to improve in as many ways as possible. The lead team is the same as last year, and we continue to draw on the extensive experience of the volunteer and Grand Design teams, combining it with our experience that has made us successful in the Mid-Atlantic rally for the last 8 years. Hopefully, this combination will give us the ability to make substantial improvements over time. Lastly, please remember that most of the folks involved in this event are volunteers. We all have regular day jobs, and we donate our time and experience to these events to make them enjoyable for all. We strive to make the process as easy to navigate as possible, while balancing that with the need to make sure we capture the necessary information to have a enjoyable event for all.
