(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) – (Editor’s note: I have been thoroughly obsessed with the idea of attending Gravelrama since literally the time I could read. Why? I learned to read on Petersen’s 4-Wheel and Off Road Magazine and those guys covered the event each year. Part party, part race, and all fun this thing has been going on for four decades. Yes, there are events crazier, trucks faster, hills steeper, but let’s be honest here for a second. There was no such thing as “rock bouncing” when Gravelrama started and the world didn’t learn about Icelandic Formula Off Road until YouTube opened all of our eyes to it. This is the grand-daddy of all that stuff and Doug Gregory goes every year with his kids. He was there last year and shot these photos. We’re running year old photos to let you know that Gravelrama 2014 is coming up in about exactly a month from now. Cleves, Ohio will be teaming with killer trucks, race vehicles, and all the greatness you’d expect from this festival of horsepower, beer, and fun that has been going strong since Nixon was in office. Gregory, I am officially JEALOUS of you and your boys. I’ll make a vow to get there next year and this time, I mean it! – Brian)
