They came from far and wide for the Tonka Trip, well I think they did, as we waited 40mins for Yankee Dave (with Jono in the passenger seat) and Acko to turn up.

Wesburn was the destination, after the obligatory pee stop in Yarra Junction we headed in search of a warm up track (well not really), with reports that some of the old favorites like Ellis Tk were in good form; so we aired down and got to it.

We had 5 cars in total, two TJs and a bunch of others (JKs and JKUs I think, but there were two TJs).

Photos to come, but from what I can remember from the damage report (No one was driving crazy, or actually really pushing it, just all unlucky lines etc)....

Beatoffthebush did a flare
Yankee Dave did a flare, a front panel/fender, bent slider and a rear tail light fell out.
Richo did a brake line
Acko did a side step
Tonka, bent rim.

Awesome day out, thanks for coming everyone.

I always wanted to walk Ellis Track and today I finally got my chance
I was to sit in the passenger seat and just enjoy the ride
That was until Yankee (I can drive anything) Dave kept on getting stuck, ripping off flares and needing assistance in winching required me to walk the whole track while he just pressed a button winging up the hill
Photos and movie to come

you realize i winched once for about 3 seconds you ungrateful bastard.

Ash and the shorty JK on the other hand gave their winches a work out.

Johno is walking to the tracks and home for mis informing

Richo was actually the only one to not winch, I high centred on a rock needed a slight tug to get off.

I did however knock off 2 flares.

Videos will show how easy the JK's did compared to the TJ'S. Pitty for that one section. ( actually come to think of it, if you average it out, the 2 TJ's did better than the 3 JK's)

You should recognise the red thing at the bottom of the hill, Jono

I'm sorry I missed the day but in some respects I'm not because you don't break anything when it sits at home in the garage. The last time I did that hill I busted a sway bar link, a small price to pay for a great day out.

Nice photos / vids. Was great meeting you all and appreciated the expert spotting which got me through some surprising obstacles with little damage, all things considered.

Am still cleaning my car, amazing how much crap a car can throw around without a flare to catch it..

a word of warning to those who have never done Ellis track. Lockers, winch and 33s + are needed or you will have dramas


We did this track and most had 35's or larger and all were double locked and still pulled the winch out at least once, some a lot more.

One of the best tracks in Vic though.

Not keen on too much carnage, Its my daily driver .... Any recommendations that way medium/hard up Warburton that would suit winch, unlocked, 33?

Hard tracks are good just not panel tearing hard!
