Welcome to Tornado R’Alley VI, Fast Times at Mad Toto High! We are looking forward to having you join us for what we are working hard to make for a fantastic weekend. As usual, we are working hard, and with our sponsors, to provide you with not only a good time but the best value for your hard earned dollar. So please check the schedule to not only see what we have going on for the weekend but what we’ve included.
This year is based on a high school theme. So every ride has a school style twist, while our Saturday night party is in the style of a prom. Even our patches this year will be reflecting this theme. Here’s the schedule thus far, and of course always subject to change:
