Default Cragg current TQ in 2WD and 4WD - oOple Invernational

Neil Cragg currently sits atop the 2WD and 4WD qualifting after 4 rounds today. Sunday brings one more round of qualifying before the three-leg finals for all drivers begin.



The fun has been non-stop here at this years oOple Invernational race and it's next to impossible to begin to capture the fun and exciitement that everyone's experiencing at this event. The live band have just finished and now DJ Kirky is pumping the tunes out with racers and party goers going absolutely NUTS on the dancefloor.



Fancy dress beer race - back flip contest - over 100 cars circulating the track at once - it's been an epic day with some serious racing at the top level with top drivers battling it out - and the really bad drivers going nuts off the large jumps.

Ask anyone who's been - this is the best race in the world.

We're working on a video to try and capture the epic nature of the event on this fantastic new race track, RHR Dirt.

There are plenty of people here just for the spectacle of it all - even racers who weren't interested in racing and just wanted to have the fun and comedy of it all. This is a great party weekend that everyone should experience even if you're not lucky enough to get one of the limited spaces to race.

It's 1:45am and the disco has just ended - but the tent is still full of nutters. The party really went off tonight and DJ Kirky was pumping out some wicked tunes - as usual he'll have his entire evenings mix recorded and for sale on CD soon.

Top night. Band were mega and as usual the party went nuts with DJ Kirky at the wheels of steel. My feet are mashed from dancing. It's back to the caravan for a bit of sleep before racing gets underway again tomorrow at 8am!!!
