The 8th annual Ramp Riot will most likely be held on November 17th or November 10th.

However, there is some uncertainty about the dates due to the passing of Mike Wade. People are working very hard behind the scenes to ensure that the east coast Fall events ( DoD, NBE, VA Fair, Ruckus, & RR ) all take place as planned.

Hopefully we will hear back soon about arrangements for this Fall.

Thanks for your patience during this difficult situation.
