What Has Changed This Year? • This year will be a two day event! To celebrate our 5th year, we will be featuring a two day event on August 10-11, 2013 at Rausch Creek Off Road Park. Each year we strive to make the registration process as easy as possible. In keeping up with the tradition of easy registration we've decided to incorporate all fees into one payment payable to Topless for TATAs, Inc. We have created packages for the event that includes a guided trail ride at Rausch Creek Off Road Park and participation in all event activities. Packages that will accommodate all of your TATA needs are as follows:
Day One Only (Saturday) $50
Day Two Only (Sunday) $50
Both Days (Saturday & Sunday) $90
• Packages include access to both the old and new Rausch Creek properties. Trail guides will determine which property will be accessed.
• This year there will be no registration with the Rausch Creek office as we are offering an all inclusive registration online. Topless for TATAs will once again offer "pre check in" on Friday evening and "check in" the mornings of the event. There will be no passenger fees however all registered drivers must have a current Rausch Creek membership the day of the event. Rausch Creek will have staff on hand at TATAs "pre check in" and "check in" to ensure memberships are current. You will be required to show proof of current membership at time of "check in". All Topless for TATAs and Rausch Creek waivers for both drivers and passengers must be completed and submitted before you are permitted to participate in the event in any capacity. For details concerning driver membership, please visit
Rausch Creek Off Road Park for information.

What Help Is Needed This Year? Last year our event was a huge success due in part to the overwhelming response we received for our request for volunteers. For the 5th Annual Topless for TATA's event we will again be calling on volunteers to help with registration, trail guides/gunners and the after party. If you would like to volunteer to be a trail guide or tail gunner, please let us know. Again, our event would not be where it is today without the help of volunteers!

Please "like" our Facebook page and be sure to frequent the various forums our event is posted on for the latest updates. As always we will continue to announce event sponsors as they roll in and will advise what events the TATAs crew will be attending. Many of you advised that you liked receiving the TATAs Times newsletter so that will continue this year as well.

Remember last year we sold out the event in 12 days and had many on the standby list that couldn't attend. Although we raised the participating vehicle limit to 500 in 2013, I suspect the event will sell out quickly once again. To ensure your participation at what will be a truly awesome event please make sure you register today.
