The chase for the inaugural Concord Cup begins at Bantam
Not everyone can endure taking a nearly 2,000-mile road trip in an 80-year-old Jeep at an average speed between 35 to 38 miles per hour.
Not everyone can hit the open road without the aid of their cellphones and GPS while avoiding interstate highways.
Not everyone can chase the coveted Concord Cup, fully knowing that at any given point during their conquest that their vehicle will break down and they could sleeping in a ditch on the side of the road for the night.
That type of lifestyle is reserved for “an adventurer” according to co-founders of Epic Willys Adventure, Phil Norvold and Adam Schultz.
“It takes somebody that has got some grit,” Norvold said. “Someone that knows good things don’t come easy and stories don’t come from sitting behind a desk.
“The harder it is, the better the story.”
