Hey guys, I need a little bit of advice. I'm looking into starting a new club on campus dealing with 4x4 and offroad and here's what I've come up with so far. It would be easiest (and cheapest) to start the club as an offshoot of the existing motorsports club (whose main focus is racing) with a donated vehicle. This leaves me with the problem of finding a donated vehicle. I can't just ask somebody who's trying to sell a Jeep if they just wanna give it to me instead. There is a tax write off but I'd still feel like a jerk.

The second problem is it would be best if there was some competition we could take the club Jeep to to promote our school. I know offroad competitions exist, but I was always under the impression that it was a predominately hobbyist's sport. Even large gatherings (i.e. jamboree, safari, etc) would be fine but I just don't know of any in the area. Do you guys know of any of these types of gatherings/competitions in the Indiana/Illinois area? The school is Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, IN.

Any help at all y'all could give me in either of these areas would be greatly appreciated and I look forward to hearing from you. The premature club has quite a following already with a good variety of vehicles and I was hoping to get something off of the ground before we leave for the summer in a couple of weeks. Thanks a lot guys, have a good one.
