Its sooooooooooo close. Im starting to smell burning clutches and diesel already lol
We (the committee) will have some spare things for people that register on the day, but the shirt order is long gone and we can't yet afford to buy a bunch of spares in various sizes "just in case".
If you choose to come without registering beforehand, you can still participate in the drives and the Gymkhana, but as noted it won't be for the prizes - they are a reward for those that supported the event - which could never happen without numbers, and we only get numbers when people register before the event.
There's no way on this earth I'm travelling a thousand kilometres with a bunch of gear donated by sponsors so that I can wait for a weekend with 4 or 5 other guys and have nobody else show (that was Victoria last year, and we cancelled it and we lost money). It's not something we want a repeat of.
Without pre-registration, we don't know numbers, and without numbers, we can't tell the sponsors that we've got so many signed up, so they won't provide any goodies. Showing up on the day is fine for a long-standing event that attracts LOTS of people, but in reality the Navara Muster is still a fledgling event and needs people to pre-register so that we can organise enough goodies for those that do. It's fair to reward those people - because they're the ones helping us to build the event.
With all that said, we'd love people to show up on the day as well, just please don't expect us to have a lot of extra goodies - it makes sense for us to have a FEW extras like we do, but not a huge amount, because if nobody extra shows, we've wasted money and as a not-for-profit organisation, we can't afford to do that! Signing up guarantees your stuff.
On another note, ARB Newcastle came through with the ARB gear - there was a mixup in the shipment from ARB head office, so it never happened (despite repeated communications with confirmations that things were moving). Peter (Manager at ARB Newcastle) is THE MAN. He has supplied the recovery kit, deflators and a bunch of hats and stuff and I can't thank him enough. Anyone in Newcastle or surrounds should pay him a visit and thank him - he knows me "Tony with the Navara" - and if you need stuff, by all means thank his efforts by supporting his business.

Had the worst day ever. First got excited that i got an alloy one an half roof basket. Wouldnt fit in the nav in the canopy at that stage so decide to put it on the roof rackets. Put it on the roof racket but only dne the 2 bolts up at the back an do the rest wen we got home. Hit the high way at about 70 nek minute the thing flown off to side of the road lucky no one got hurt !! So than we decide to force it in the back of the canopy got in strangly. So than put the back window canopy down an just shatter every where cus i had an elastic tie down on the struts haha.. Than got home clean the mess up an but the basket on properly drove at 1$0 to see if it would come off an she on tight.. So to morrow be doin a trip to gympie get the glass an friday get it put in thanks to arb gympie $315 for glass an locks an mackay was goin to charge me $490 an wait for 5 days.. But im still coming cant wait to hit the road.

Mate you are the sort of bloke that makes this forum the way it is despite your drama's and your distance from the event you have made the effort to push on.
The same can be said for Nathan despite a rolled ankle and disabled car he has made the effort to appear in a hired falcon the fact he carn't drive on the events does not matter it's all about the enthusiasm the few days may go quick but safely fitting in heaps of fun is what the muster is about.
