It's time for Maryland's best drivers to get ready for the toughest driver skills challenge in the country. Our 2023 Roadeo returns to MTA's Dorsey MARC Station located at Dorsey Station Dr in Elkridge, MD 21076; just off Route 100. The competition will begin at 9 AM, end around Noon, and will be followed by a banquet lunch located at the Olive Grove Restaurant (705 N. Hammonds Ferry Road, Linthicum Heights, MD 21090). We will honor our competitors and give our winners a rousing send-off to the CTAA National Roadeo. Drivers will compete in three separate areas: a driving skills challenge in the form of an obstacle course containing 10 stations, a wheelchair securement test, and a pre-trip inspection. The top three scorers will be given scholarships to attend and compete against the best in the country at the CTAA Roadeo in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on May 20-21. Registration Fees Registration is $125 for the first driver, $100 for the second, and $75 for each additional driver. Registration for each driver covers all the day's activities, including a light breakfast on the Roadeo site and the awards banquet lunch. Each driver and volunteer will receive one ticket to attend the awards banquet. A limited number of additional banquet tickets may be purchased during registration for an additional $20 each. Schedule - April 15th

The Roadeo cannot happen without the support of volunteers. We need volunteers to judge the on course stations, wheelchair securement tests, and pre-trip inspections. We need volunteers to run scores back to the scorers. We need volunteers to help us set up and tear down the course. In short, we need you! We are looking for volunteers in the following areas:
There will be 1 Captain for each maneuver/position and at least 2 volunteers for each maneuver depending on the maneuver/position. All volunteers will receive a ticket to attend the awards banquet in the afternoon.
