The Programme

A lot of planning and gruntwork goes in to put the rally on for you. But this is what we love to do and you love the rally so it all kinda works out in the end.

By buying your rally entry ticket, you are getting:

All-access to the rally plus in-out privileges during gate hours
Free firewood and braziers for use
Toilet and wash facilities that aren't portaloos
On-site first aid
High quality food caterer
Well-stocked licensed bar
Coffee, tea and hot water are available for free 24/7
Live music Friday and Saturday night
Organised competitive events with prizes, spot prizes, sponsor giveaways
Incredible views of Ruapehu at the top of the paddock
Several hundred other like-minded mates that just love to ride, tell tales and party

Basically the programme is approximately this:

Friday afternoon around 3pm - gates open, caterer is open, bar is open
Friday night around 7pm the live music starts up in the main marquee
Saturday morning around 1am (maybe earlier) the bar is closed
Saturday morning around 11am the events begin. Exact order is TBD but usually starts with the hillclimb then goes to the helmet dash, a lunch break, tug-of-war, then the burnout competition at around 3pm.
The bar reopens around noonish on Saturday
Saturday evening around 7pm the prizegiving and spot draws take place. The live music begins by 8pm
Sunday morning is pack out

The caterer opens up early early and stays open until the last of the hoons call it a night. The food is amazing and they enjoy the rally as much as we do - we love 'em.

In exchange for all this, we just ask a few things:

Respect the land and facilities. The Club has a good working relationship with the landowner and we work hard to keep it that way.
No dogs, cats or other animals are to be brought to site. It is a working farm and there is livestock nearby; if you bring an animal, you (and your group) and the animal will be escorted off the rally site no questions no refunds no returns.
No patches or gang insignia.
Just don't be a dick, really.
