Turps it was an unmarked track on the Narbethong side of Toolangi it is cut into a hill to join up 2 main tracks. The club had to clear a lot of crap off it to make it driveable. It's that loose, powdery soil with a few craters and friggin steep. If it was wet it would be virtually undriveable and if you got it wrong the left side is a big drop off.
I can get the GPS coordinates if you want ?? I will get back there one day and have another go but definitely not in winter. The other problem is there's a about half a km approach to the actual climb with nowhere to turn around. So if you get to the hill and decide it's too hard you have to reverse all the way back.

Yeah they went down that in the Challenge.
A standard class car made it's way down there by mistake and rolled over I heard.
They also removed the big jagged bolder known as the can opener.
They didn't make the modifieds go up Jacksons Break for fear of a bottleneck and or rain.

I think I know the rock. It is at the bottom of the last hard bit on the way up. Had abit of trouble trying to get out of the rut (to get around the rock)as there is abit of side angle all the cars where lifting the pass front wheel under power.
(I HATE side angles) It didn't feel real bad in the car but from the outside all 3 cars where leaning over abit.
