Western National Land Rover Rally
2004 Land Rover Discovery Raffle
Presented by Northern California Land Rover Club
OFFICIAL RULES AND REGULATIONS
The Northern California Land Rover Club (NCLR), a tax-exempt organization under Section 501©(7) of the Internal Revenue Code, is conducting this raffle pursuant to California Penal Code Section 320.5, et seq, to raise funds for ongoing charitable purposes. The Rules and Regulations of the NCLR raffle are set forth below. By purchasing a raffle ticket, the purchaser agrees to be bound by these rules and regulations. NCLR’s interpretation and application of the rules and regulations shall be final.
The raffle prize is a previously-owned and modified 2004 Land Rover Discovery, valued at $10,000.00 USD. There are no additional prizes associated with this raffle drawing. The drawing will be conducted by NCLR on September 15, 2018 at the 2018 Western National Land Rover Rally (Rally).
Tickets may be purchased in person, on-site during the Rally. Properly completed order forms with valid payment must be received by NCLR by 10:00 pm PST to be eligible to win. The winner must be present to win. Participants must be 18 years of age or older as of the prize drawing, be a member of NCLR, be an individual legally residing in the United States, and be a licensed driver.
A maximum of 10,000 tickets will be sold. The chance of winning the raffle prize will be 1 out of how ever many tickets are sold; if fewer tickets than 10,000 are sold, the odds of winning will improve. There is no limitation on the number of tickets any one individual may purchase, up to the 10,000 tickets available.
The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances in raffles, lotteries or similar drawings for valuable prizes are not gifts, and consequently do not qualify as deductible charitable contributions.
The winner assumes all fees, local, sales tax, state and federal taxes (including, but not limited to, income taxes and sales taxes based on the value of the car), and license fees. NCLR takes no responsibility for any tax liabilities. Consult your tax advisor. This offer is void where prohibited or restricted by law, and all federal, state and local laws and regulations apply.
BY ENTERING THIS RAFFLE, ENTRANTS ACCEPT AND AGREE (1) TO BE BOUND BY ALL THE RULES, LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH HERE AND (2) THAT THEIR NAMES AND/OR LIKENESSES MAY BE DISCLOSED TO AND USED BY THE NEWS MEDIA AND MAY OTHERWISE BE USED BY NCLR FOR PUBLICITY PURPOSES.
BY ENTERING THIS RAFFLE, EACH PARTICIPANT RELEASES NCLR, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR INJURIES, LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND CAUSED BY PARTICIPATING IN THE RAFFLE OR WINNING ANY PRIZE OR RESULTING FROM ACCEPTANCE, POSSESSION, USE OR MISUSE OF ANY PRIZE, AND EACH WINNER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD NCLR HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES, RIGHTS, CLAIMS AND ACTIONS OF ANY KIND RISING IN CONNECTION WITH OR AS A RESULT OF PARTICIPATING IN THE RAFFLE OR THE WINNER’S ACCEPTANCE OR USE OF ANY PRIZE.
EACH PARTICIPANT HEREBY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 WHICH STATES THE FOLLOWING: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR”.
Raffle Prize:
The prize of the raffle drawing is a previously-owned and substantially modified 2004 Land Rover Discovery, valued at $10,000.00 USD. Modifications and the labor to apply the modifications were primarily donated and/or volunteered. MODIFICATIONS MAY NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL OR STATE MOTOR VEHICLE REGULATIONS AND THE VEHICLE MAY NOT BE LEGAL FOR ON-ROAD USE IN THE DELIVERED CONDITION.

NCLR and organizers of the Rally shall not have any responsibility or liability whatsoever for any property loss, damage, personal injury, or death, in connection with the prize pursuant to the raffle.
There are no additional prizes or prize drawings in this raffle. There is no cash alternative to the raffle prize.
Tickets:
Tickets are $25.00 USD each or 5 tickets for $100.00 USD. Only one eligible person may be entered in the raffle per ticket sold.

Hello! What time does the rally start on the13th? Thank you.
Hi, will there be a gas station close to base camp?
Few questions from my group:
1. I'm stuck at work on the 12th, so a) How late can we check-in to our campsite on Wednesday 12th, 2018? or b) How early can we check-in to our campsite on Thursday 13th, 2018?
2. Can I bring my dog?
3. For drivers and paid passengers, what meals are provided, and what food do we need to bring ourselves?
4. Should we plan on it being very cold there?
5. Do we need to plan to bring our own fuel?
Is there a general FAQ that will be sent out next week, so we can review the answers and plan accordingly in terms of gear and supplies whatnot?
I am with Dilip. Need to know fuel availability and what about bears and the possibility that they will be raiding our camp???
It will be close to freezing some nights... Bring your winter sleeping bags!
Hello everyone,
My apologies for the late reply here, I just moved on Thursday and finally have reliable internet and most importantly some time!. See below for some answers!
a) How late can we check-in to our campsite on Wednesday 12th, 2018?
-If you arrive past the closing time of the check in booth simply find a location to camp inside the marked camping area and check in the following morning.
b) How early can we check-in to our campsite on Thursday 13th, 2018?
-8 am or prior to trail departures.
2. Can I bring my dog?
-Well behaved dogs that can play well with others are welcome but must remain leashed at all times.
3. For drivers and paid passengers, what meals are provided, and what food do we need to bring ourselves?
-Attendees will be provided meals on Friday and Saturday evenings. Attendees should prepare to bring breakfast and lunch for each day they will be at the event.
4. Should we plan on it being very cold there?
-Yes. Please plan accordingly.
5. Do we need to plan to bring our own fuel?
-Personally, I always bring at least 5 gallons on a rally just to be safe. Here's a link to a Deli/Gas station near the venue.
What about bears and the possibility that they will be raiding our camp??
-As with any wilderness camping area in bear country all usual precautions should be taken to limit exposure.
That being said, if the bears are leashed, have the proper vest insignia and have current immunization records we cannot prevent anyone from bringing one as an emotional support animal. :)
We will be sending an email with more details very soon.
Carlos
Carlos: The link to the gas station shows that it is 25 miles away from Bear Valley. Is that correct? Is there a gas station in Bear Valley itself?
Hey there,
Is there a name for the campsite we will be staying at?
Thanks
The campsite will be onsite at the Bear Valley Ski Resort, all directions will be provided upon check in.
@WNLRR Admin Is that the correct check-in location?
@ramonmvalencia There will be signage all over the entrance of the Bear Valley Ski Resort on where to check in. Please just follow the signs for WNLRR once you arrive.
Below is the most recent update I have received from the organizers.
Please keep in mind I am not on site nor am I familiar with the area so it may take a bit for me to obtain the information from the organizers as they are preparing the event.
Please post what radios will be used? Ham? CB? FRS? What are Official frequencies??
This will be up to the individual trail leader and what they are equipped with.
Most will use HAM or FRS.
Most people here use Ham or FRS
I was told the general camping was not at the Bear Valley Resort, but at a Soccer Field nearby - is there an actual address for this, and a specific location for the check-in area? We will be arriving early Thursday morning.
Please the most recent update below.
Okay -- mass confusion. You state the street address which leads us to a ski area. But the map you show is 2 miles SW in the town of Bear Valley. At this point, I am just going to drive up HWY 4 and wait for the signs. I thought NCLR and AZLRO could do better.
Paul,
Very sorry for the confusion here, I've provided the information made available to me.
The map above was sent to me by the organizers, considering I am not on site nor have I ever been there I have no way of knowing the accuracy to the exact mile. The event is taking place at Bear Valley Ski Resort and that is the address I provided.
I'm sorry for your disappointment and I hope the rest of the event experience is up to your standard.
Yes I Have the same problem as Paul - map shows something different than Bear Valley Ski ResorT (shown as Skyline Bear Valley Mountain Resort, 2280 state Rte 207, Bear Valley, CA 95223)
the map shows the location of Bear Valley Lodge.
@Chris Kreidel from my emails with Doug, I believe the map (with illustrations) has the correct info/locations.
WNLRR Admin should stop using Ski Resort as it just confuses everyone.
Google translates 2280 state Rte 207, Bear Valley, CA 95223 to Logdepole group campsite, this doesn't match with the attached image. I think I'm just going to navigate to the gas station in Bear Valley and then figure it out from there.
Agreed - the ski resort was confusing, I think we should email everyone with this image so folks don't get lost, especially those coming late at night like myself.
I think everyone should just get to the pictured area and follow the WNLRR signs.
I am going to these coordinates: (38.4639743,-120.0412462). That is Bear Valley Snowmobiles on Google Maps (132 Bear Valley Rd, Bear Valley, CA 95223, USA), which is next to the staging area.
I expect WNLRR signs all over the place. I noticed that there’s quite some Discos, Defenders and Series II that signed up. I might just follow the oil stains on the road :-)
