WHO

When Danielle was 5 she "accidentally" drove her mother's car on top of another car, completely crushing it. But don't worry, her aspirations are towards navigating and her training is entirely with map and compass. Lani is the driver, and she has dreamed about a competition like the Rebelle her whole life. Having achieved her goal of producing a video covering the Baja 1000, she is ready to tackle her next challenge: jumping behind the wheel to tackle the Rebelle Rally.

Our names are Lani Trejo and Danielle Cheifetz and together we are Dead Reckoning, 2023 4x4 Rebelle Rally Team 147. We are video producers so we are all about prep, and we aim to be the most prepared rookies of all time. We bring to the Rebelle our love of learning and tackling new challenges, competitive spirit, and our drive to solve problems that seem impossible.

WHAT

Prioritizing endurance and precise navigation over speed, the Rebelle Rally is the longest off-road navigation rally raid in the United States. It's a ladies-only event, with no male equivalent. Over the course of eight days participants hunt check points using only analog tools and complete time/speed/distance challenges across 1,500 miles of the California and Nevada desert. The Rebelle is a one of a kind competition in the US and boasts participants from all over the world.

WHY

We find the current and past Rebelles to be so inspiring, the more women that participate the more voices we have promoting women in motorsports, encouraging all women to follow their dreams and step outside their comfort zone. When reaching out to past Rebelles for advice on training, gear (or anything really) they have not hesitated to share their knowledge and the supportive community is a true inspiration. We want to be part of that, and in turn pay it forward ourselves.

An event of this magnitude requires not only our grit and determination but financial support as well. With your help we'll reach our goal of raising $15,000 by April 30th and a total of $30,000 overall. All funds will go towards training, gear, registration fees, and travel expenses related to the Rally. We cannot compete unless we are able to reach our fundraising goals, we are lost without our supporters, accepting defeat before even crossing the starting line.

Help us find our way! Be a part of team Dead Reckoning and come along for the ride, following our journey as we post updates to our channels as we progress.
