Event format is
Saturday
6 stages run consecutively Saturday together with Show & Grime.
Stages are spread out over approximately 1.2 km with shuttle buses operating between the stages. Stages may have multiple obstacles.
Gates open 8:00 am and it is expected to be concluded approximately 4:30 pm

Sunday
3 stages run consecutively Sunday together with Show & Grime. Stages are in a more confined area and you should the mud fly.
As the top placed teams complete those three stages they will then move to Sunday Super Stage which will involve driving challenges rarely seen in this type of competition.
Gates open 8:00 am and it is expected to be concluded approximately 2:30 pm
Door prize (winch or suspension) drawn at 1:00 pm in the catering area.

Your call as to what you think will be the best day. Why not make a week end of it. There is plenty of accomdation in the local towns (no camping on site).

Did I mention that we will be having very special prices on Engel fridges if you purchase one over the week end?

yep 2 wheel drive parking in top paddock and a shuttle bus service will be running throughout the two days between the car parks and strategic drop off points around the property to get you closer to the action quicker.

Remember though we can't fit coaches on the roads around this property so we are restricted to about 20 people at a time. The competition stages start approximately 800 m from the top car park and the road around from which all the stages either start or finish on is 1.2 km long.
