[DIRTY ROCK STAR]

well harden up & drive the obstacles cleanly first time & you should have plenty of time left for track 4

quite a few teams managed to have time left for track 4 last year

[pricey]

We're looking at coming to spectate.

Can someone please confirm that it is $40 per person for the weekend? The website says "Camp sites available. $40.00 for the weekend". Am I right in assuming $20 per person for us for the weekend is a bit cheap??

[Turbo Tonka]

it has only been $20 for the weekend pp over the past 2 years from memory??

not sure what gate prices r jess, but I am sure Prepaid was 20 bucks or something.

[Toperi]

Pre-paid camping & spectating is $30 per adult kids under 16 free. On the comp weekend it will be $40 per adult for the weekend kids still free. There will be showers.

[niss50]

Were can we pre-pay at

[Toperi]

If you PM me you can still prepay for camping.

I will be posting the run order early next week now that all teams that got to choose a start position have done so. All except Bong Bong chose to start on stage 1.

Also next week I will be e-mailing out the competitor passes, every team will have a unique code on thier passes and a sheet will be kept at the front gate to be marked off as you arrive so there can be no doubling up.

Everything is looking fantastic here, the tracks are finished, some new bonus lines to be driven.

Are you guys ready!!!

[Black Bull]

Was hoping to compete, but alas. no truck
I'll come watch though

[bad mudda]

READY AND WAITING, unless i bust my truck badly at the masters series tomorrow, then it will be a mad rush to fix it in 4 weeks. Either way i'm looking forward to another great Toperi challenge.

BTW Shane is driving a jeep on 40'' and i'm driving a 47s on 37''

This years time will probably be offset by the jeeps time

[turbo gu]

We are car 1 so does that mean we start track 3 1st on Sunday?

Going 1st helped me at Willowglen so hope it helps here

Can't wait for this event

Last years time will be obsolete by the Jeep

[bad mudda]

Shane does normally drive outside his comfort zone when we go wheeling, it doesn't take much to rev him up .

If we play it right we could get to see some expensive carnage out of him.
Besides he has to quikly hurry all weekend because of all his bling bits that are deducting our time.

The Canobolas 4wd club has obtained a five year DA for our event. On behalf on the club I’d like to thank all previous competitors and spectators for their consideration when arriving and leaving Toperi Park the last two years. We have had little resistance in the lead up to this year’s event and we’d like to keep it that way for next year.
The normal property rules will apply as per the previous years i.e. no fireworks, pets, motorbikes, quads, fires etc. We will have a welding area set aside this year so as to minimize the chance of bush fire.
The main gate will be locked at 11pm Friday night and will reopen the next morning. If you arrive after that time you will have to camp in the front paddock and then relocate to the camping area the next morning.
This years Toperi will again be known as The Tough Dog Toperi Challenge. Tough Dog confirmed today that they are prepared to put their name on our event for the next three years. Snake Racing and TJM/Opposite lock Orange have also confirmed their support for this years challenge.
The event is shaping up to be a cracker. We only have a few small track maintaince jobs to be done before the challenge but we are having a difficult time with the continued rain.
Tony is our competition manager, so if you have any question, direct them to him. For anything else post them up here and one of us will get back an answer.
Travel safe and I’ll see you at Toperi.

Cheers
Glenn Gosper
