for camping it's $35 per night, or $100 for the weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday Night) That includes entertainment and a huge fireworks display. Catch up and say hi while you are there.

no the mud isn't deep.... it' more like dirty water drags

It's hard to make any decent mud there because of the type of soil. The hill climb is not a straight piece of track either, but it's fun

be good to see you there. Heidi and Hans got back from the Gold Coast today with the trophies for the event.
She said that they have got 250mm of rain there in the last couple of days.

I'm heading down with 4 others from Brissie. Love Rover Park. This will be my first BOTS. Hopefully the new owners keep the tradition alive in the future.

Post by **Vulcanised** » Thu May 21, 2009 6:55 pm

from what Heidi said the other day, if they don't get what they want for it at the auction next week, they will be holding onto it.

Well that's got me all torn...I hope they get what they want for it, but at the same time I hope they don't.

They have always been exceptionally nice people/hosts everytime I have been there for comps.

ALthough...... i did have fun in the mud on a haul road at one of the mines in the rain today

The Hilux gets the 4 wheel drifting happening under power with muddies on

So whats the go with chucking a car to have some fun with... got a workshop Pajero (stock as a rock) & thinking might chuck it in for a bit of fun..

Whats the cost to compete, do you have to be in a club or is it extra to compete over the park entry

Don't have to be in a club and yes it is extra to compete, was $50 for all events and less for 1 or 2 events last year.

The Paj would be some fun, tho you might want to crank the front torsion bars a little if you have time

Post by **BOGAN V8** » Tue May 26, 2009 10:24 pm

yeah ok cool thanks for the info...

is there any video of what this event is like.. just have to convince the boss to let me take it and have a go...

Post by **Mr DJ** » Wed May 27, 2009 6:49 pm

Bogan, this is from 07 but will give you an idea.
The rock crawl was changed to a creek run last year.

This is the mud run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO2FjIXU ... re=related

Post by **BOGAN V8** » Wed May 27, 2009 7:50 pm

^^^^^

Cool thanks dougster looks like we might have to put some decent tyres on this PAJERO..

still got to talk the boss into doing it. he might put his prado in too.. If not then will be up to watch and video for sure....

One more ????? Can we pay and compete on the day ie Sunday if get there and feel like it & pick which ones we want to do (as its a work car hehehe).. cause if i break it i have to fix it come Tues

Post by **Mr DJ** » Wed May 27, 2009 8:31 pm

Probably could Bogan if you ring them before and organise it.

Not sure on the order of the events which are Hill Climb, Rock Crawl, Night Mud Drags, Creek Run & Mud Run
My guess is the Creek Run & Mud run will be on Sunday.

here ya go .. http://www.roverpark.com.au/Entry_form.pdf
