Huntsville, Tennessee – As I wound through the hills of Northern Tennessee, I was anxiously awaiting my arrival to the Brimstone Roundup this year.  After my attendance last year, I was a bit tentative as I had so many things go wrong from my camper, to my camera, to my mode of transportation. 

I changed things up and left the camper at home this year and decided to stay in the local accommodations and commute back and forth to the event.  I stayed at The Grand Vista Hotel about three miles away and noticed that the hotel was well prepared for the event. 

The field next door was roped off and many trucks with trailers were parked and unloaded all of the vehicles and parked them in the hotel lot.  I had one of the few trucks in the parking lot surrounded by ATV’s, RZRs, Commanders, motorcycles, jeeps and even some work side by sides just here for the rolling around the nearly 20,000 acres of sprawling fun.

The town of Huntsville was ready for the event as well with the roads open to the hundreds and thousands of off-road vehicles that found their way to this year’s event.  Every store for a few miles had event vehicles in there lots using the local merchants. 

I can only guess, but I am betting the local chamber is a large supporter of this event for the economic impact to the community.  Some of the switches in line up came with events starting on Friday night and spreading them out over the three days and not feeling so rushed on the mountain top around the concert of Saturday night.  This year’s Brimstone Roundup seemed to be even better planned and organized as the event I attended a year ago.

Friday Night had a few warm up events on the mountain top that included the Can-am sled pull and SxS drag racing.  The under the lights racing capped off a busy day of guided rides presented by EBC and meet and greets with the legendary Brian Fisher of Fisher’s ATV World.
