two burly- i looking characters in lumberjackets pulled up beside me it was 10 am and i got a little nervous i was supposed to meet gary mcarthur toyota salesman and chairman of the new york region i offroad association at the donut shop i had images of what offroad racing was all about and what the drivers would look like images i figured were a little stereotyped but these two guys in the black truck were too real offroaders must be rowdy drivers who party all night scream across farmers fields in their customized pickups and go for break fast at the donut shop which one was mcarthur i wondered mcarthur was waiting for me at a table near the window he didnt know who the two guys in the black toyota were either but he wouldnt mind them joining his relatively young offroad association now 44 members strong hmmmm whatever it is mcarthurdoes here is it legal i wondered the chairman sensed my ignorance of the sport that is big in the states and just starting to catch hold in canada he was quick to dispel the images of drinkers and drivers dragging on some road men women and teenagers driving age of course are enthusiasts of off- roadihg he showed me pictures of fourwheel drive and automatic pickup trucks atvs threewheel motorcycles trail bikes dunebuggies snowmobiles and even remote control vehicles anyone with any type of vehicle that is capable of going offroad qualifies to
