What Has Not Changed This Year?
• The Topless for TATA’s Wheeling events primary goal is to raise funds and awareness for Breast Cancer Research.
• Trail guides, at their discretion, reserve the right to make changes to the groups and group line up.
• The proceeds raised at the event will be donated to Breast Cancer Research Foundation. BCRF’s mission is to achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime by providing critical funding for innovative clinical and translational research at leading medical centers worldwide, and increasing public awareness about good breast health. Currently, over 90 cents of every dollar donated goes to research and awareness programs.
• You are responsible for providing your own lunch, snacks and beverages.
• All sponsoring vendors are invited to attend our event.
• Registration/Check-in will be at 8am on Saturday, August 4th, 2012 and we hope to hit the trails no later than 9:30am. Advance check-in will be offered Friday, August 3rd, 2012 evening at the Comfort Inn, Pine Grove, PA.
• Although not mandatory, it is still suggested for you to have a CB along with recovery gear. At a minimum we are requesting that all vehicles have some type of recovery point in the front and rear.
• We cannot stress enough the importance of listening to your spotter and or trail guide.
• The Raffle will be held at Rausch Creek in the Pavillon. The Raffle will be held at a predetermined time immediately following the trail ride. You must be present to take part in the raffle. Only event participants will be eligible to take part in our raffle.
• The Topless for TATA’s after party will immediately follow the raffle. There is no additional cost to attend the after party. All participates are welcome to attend. We plan to offer Pizza, Chips and Soda/Water. Location TBD.
• 4th Annual Topless for TATA’s event swag (t-shirts, hoodies, etc.) will be available for purchase the morning of the event. Our suggestion is to pre purchase your swag to ensure you get the size and quantity desired. Event swag will also be available through the Topless for TATAs website.
• This will be an All Breeds event. That being said if your vehicle has the ability to run Topless it is highly encouraged. This year we will be again imposing a $10 fee per vehicle that will go directly towards the cost of hosting this event.
• Please be aware that Rausch Creek land use and passenger fees have remained the same for 2012.
• The Topless for TATAs crew will once again be at several Jeep events, MOAB EJS, PA Jeeps, and ADAMS Jeep Jam to name a few, throughout 2012 promoting our event
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 4th 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!
How Do You Register This Year?
All registration will be electronic this year. You can use this link (http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=esygxyiab&oeidk=a07e5fpts0b682853fc) to register or go to the website and click on Register. Make sure you frequently visit the Topless for TATAs (www.toplessfortatas.com) website, forums, or our Facebook page (The Official Topless for TATAs Wheeling Event) for up to date information as it becomes available.

We have had an overwhelming response all within the last couple of days and have over 100 spots sold for this year’s Topless for TATAs Wheeling Event! While that is wonderful and exciting for the participants that have already registered, I am concerned that some of you might not get the opportunity to join us this year. With less than 125 spots left, some of you might find yourself on the waiting list if registration continues to fill up at this rate. This is just a friendly reminder as I know most of us have had an extremely busy week with Christmas and New Years.

I'm in ;D

Less than 20 spots left and registration will close automatically once we hit 225. After the registration closes the wait list will be in effect. In order to get on the wait list you will need to send me an email at contact@toplessfortatas.com.

We would love to join ya, but (as always) it's still the same weekend we're out of town. So... (like every year) We'll do the Ron Allen Raffle (i.e., buy tickets AND give everything back ??? )
Have Fun!

EXCITING NEWS!
Calling all Topless for TATA's supporters... We need Topless for TATA's AX Men and Women!
I'm pleased to announce that Rausch Creek Off Road Park has offered to dedicate a brand new trail dubbed "Topless for TATAs". The trail is going to be a green trail offering both Blue and Black switchbacks for those looking to rock some TATAs!
We need your help with trail cutting, trail clearing, a day of fun and laughter, meet and greet with event participants, having an opportunity to win some TFT swag... and if time permits some afternoon wheeling! More specific details about what all will be needed (i.e. tools, supplies) and required (i.e. volunteers) will be forthcoming.
We wanted to send this out as a place holder to ensure we have enough volunteers willing to help out. The tentative date will be Saturday, June 2nd at 09:00. Lunch, snacks and beverages will be provided that's why we are asking for a headcount for those able to attend. As always all Topless for TATA's events are family orientated and we encourage everyone to attend.
Make sure you check Facebook for updates on this exciting new opportunity!

Thanks Chantelle for putting together an awesome ride for a great cause!
-
Great job Chantelle! Everyone seemed to have a fun time for a wonderful cause (even if it did rain.....).
-
Ditto with Jenn and Peter , had an awesome time even if it did rain. Would be nice to see more PA Jeeps there next year.
-
Thanks Chantelle + Chris, RaushCreek and all that helped and surported this great event. This had to be the the most crazy Tatas ride I have been a part of. From working on my Jeep on and off right up untill we headed north. To working on other peoples Jeeps Friday while "looking" at the new Tata trail. Then Saturday had to top all that with a roll first thing in the morning :o. Our group (group 2) lended a hand in the recovery and picked up a couple Jeeps from that group to get some wheelin in before lunch. Sometime around 11:30 I broke a front spring shackle eye, I threw a rachet strap around in and kept on wheelin till lunch. At lunch (thanks Qudratec) I patched my jeep up enough to wheel the rest of the day and make it home. We met some great people and had a great time.
;D

i didn't stay to hear the story on how that happened ....were they even on the trail? it looked like they were trying to access it from E trail.
-
He was not on the trail, he was on a access area used for trail cutting and found a hole.
They were lucky it was not filled with water, a mine shaft or a sink hole, probably would have been recovering more than just a Jeep. As we started onto "S" passing the group I knew somthing was not right. Jeeps in the brush, lady running with a first aid kit, so I stopped to check on them. A few scraches was the worst injury (that was the good thing). Next, onto the Jeep, lets just say they needed a bit more gear and books than what they had for a safe recovery.

-
yeah i figured they were not on the trail. We are not even supposed to be in the area they were in. Glad no one was hurt.
-
The real story is the YJ that rolled was part of the first Topless for TATAs trail cutting crew. RC staff took us to the trail the same route the YJ had gone. The YJ had no reason to suspect taking a differant route to access the trail since this is how it was originally accessed. Long story short they didnt see the hole until it was too late..... RC quickly flagged that area off so there would be no repeat.
