Respect the road. Respect the region. Respect each other.
The Backroads of Appalachia aren’t a racetrack—they’re shared public roads that run through the heart of our communities. Drive responsibly, stay in your lane, and be mindful of locals, wildlife, and changing conditions at all times.
All competitive driving, closed-course exhibitions, and demo events are conducted on permitted, controlled routes with full approval from the states we operate in. What you see there belongs there. Not on open roads.
Keep it safe. Keep it respectful. Keep it Appalachian.

See everyone bright and early!

3-4 week update on the new @bfgoodrichtires HD Terrain tires and we’ve officially put them through a little bit of everything.
Highway miles, gravel, mud, rough backroads, towing, and daily driving — they’ve handled it all extremely well so far. The biggest surprise has honestly been how smooth and quiet they are on pavement considering how aggressive the tread pattern is.
Off-road traction has been impressive, especially on loose gravel and muddy terrain, while still feeling planted and stable at highway speeds. They’ve also been performing great under load, which is exactly what we needed for the RAM 2500.
The sidewalls and tread design definitely inspire confidence on rocky terrain and rough roads, and wear has looked excellent after the first few weeks of use.
Overall first impressions:
- Aggressive look without unbearable road noise
- Excellent traction on gravel and dirt
- Stable while towing and hauling
- Strong sidewall confidence off-road
- Wearing evenly so far
Excited to continue testing them deeper into Appalachia this summer.

What an incredible day of testing with Green APU.
What amazes me the most is seeing representation from Ireland, the United Kingdom, Poland, and Portugal all here in Eastern Kentucky. To witness people from across the world coming to our mountains, our roads, and our communities is something truly special.
Just a few years ago, many would have never imagined international teams and visitors traveling to this region for motorsports, innovation, and opportunity. Today proved once again that Appalachia can compete on a global stage.
We are proud to showcase not only our roads and landscapes, but also the hospitality, work ethic, and spirit of our people. This is bigger than motorsports, it’s about creating opportunity, building relationships, and changing the narrative of our region.
Thank you to everyone involved in making days like this possible. The future of Eastern Kentucky continues to grow one connection, one event, and one partnership at a time. #rally
Mud, machines, and mountain memories 🤘🏻
The Perry Thunder Run brought the heat with an incredible turnout of UTVs, off-road rigs, and adventure seekers ready to experience the best of Eastern Kentucky. From scenic backroads and trail sections to the evening gatherings and local hospitality, this event proved once again that Appalachia is becoming a premier destination for off-road recreation.
Huge thanks to all the riders, volunteers, partners, and local communities that helped make this event a success. Every machine on the trail helped support small towns, fuel stops, restaurants, lodging partners, and the growing outdoor recreation economy across the region.
Until next time… keep the mud flying and the adventure rolling. 🔥
