An Unscripted Adventure Documentary

Our story starts at the Nevada County Fair, when we saw this photograph. 

We asked the ladies from the historical society to tell us more.

What we discovered was an incredible true story about one of the first overland auto races in history.

THE TRUE STORY OF…

The 1911 Tahoe Tavern

Race for the Silver Cup

Four gritty gold-miners take their Ford Model T up-and-over Donner Pass, battling forty feet of snow, as they attempt to reach Lake Tahoe and win a Silver Cup.

Nobody Thought They Could Do It

We got our own machine, and we’re going over the mountain: Full Send.

Just like the gang in 1911, we’re taking cameras with us.

Six episodes and six stunts inspired by the obstacles the original Grass Valley Four conquered.

We fully expect to fail but the cameras will be rolling and the adventure begins when the first thing goes wrong.
