CANE TOAD RALLY - UPDATE
k all you inventive geniuses out there, here’s your opportunity to shine. We have on the program during the Gymkhana a demonstration event being put on by our club called the “Super Thong Toss”. This is simply a do what you want to a thong to make it go further than your competition. You can modify and add anything to the thong, BUT the only thing you have to comply with is you must be able to wear the thong and walk with it on your foot for 6 m. Now, I know what you are thinking… there are two types of thongs that can be worn and they are both acceptable as long as you can walk the 6 m with it on your foot. What we hope to achieve is to get a lot of laughs from the crowd and then add it to the gymkhana each year with the rally goers bringing their own creations. Below is my entry to become the “Biggest Tosser”. I mounted a thong onto a Frizbie. I can walk 6m with it on my foot. If your creation is a failure, bring it with you because the purpose of this event is to see what can be created and to get a laugh from the crowd. Now because thongs come in pairs, I’m going to create something else with the other one. You can purchase a pair of thongs for $1 at K-Mart or flash coloured ones for $3.
A request was made for anyone attending this year’s Cane Toad Rally to volunteer a little bit of their time to help out at the Gate on Friday or Saturday afternoons for registrations, the Gymkhana on Saturday afternoon, screen printing on t-shirts on Saturday afternoon or leading a ride on Saturday morning. We had a great response, but we just need a few more. An hour or so on the gate checking in arrivals and same for the screen printing drying the screened shirts. About 2 – 2 ½ hours leading a ride. If you can spare a bit of your time please contact Gary by email canetoadrally@gmail.com or message me on Facebook. We’ve got a great rally with a great reputation gathering momentum.
The image right was very popular in the early years of the Cane Toad Rally and was named “The Fanging Toad”. It will be used on the stickers and screen printed onto your T-shirts this year for the first time in more than 30 years. The stickers can be purchased at the rally for $2 each and we will screen print the image onto your Shirt for $2 each also. We will have inks suitable for light or dark coloured T-Shirts.
