Extreme 4×4 Adventures near Geelong and Melbourne.
What is an “extreme 4×4”?
Our three extreme 4×4 vehicles are custom built to handle the severe conditions of our 4×4 tracks. With four wheel steering, massive tires and huge suspension these things will go just about anywhere. Our 4x4s were recently descibed in RACV Royal Auto magazine: “The trucks look like pared-back tractors on steroids.”
Do you have vouchers for your 4×4 adventures?
Yes we do. Give the perfect father’s day gift, birthday or Xmas present with a Ragged Edge 4×4 gift voucher. Choose from one of our 4×4 packages.
How long does each course take to drive?
This is a hard question to answer as some drivers rush through the course where as others take their time and get the most from the 4×4 experience. This is not a speed-based experience; the tracks are designed to make you navigate the 4x4s through the course using vehicle control and precision driving. We allow 15 mins to drive each track and we recommend you use every second of it! The more control you display the more crazy spots on the course we can show you.
What’s the difference with each package?
The difference in the packages is the number of courses you drive: with the Taster package your drive one course, the Intro: two, the Comp: three and the Pro: four. Each course gets progressively harder too. The graph below shows you what’s included with each package.
| Razorback | Chucky’s Hot Lap | Hell-Dorado | Chucky’s Revenge | Switch-Back | |
| Extreme “warm up” drive | Crazy ride through Chuckies Revenge | Time to apply your newly found skills | Driving walls, rollover, burnouts. | The most technical and challenging | |
| Intro | Y | Y | Y | N | N |

How many passengers can ride along?
You get one passenger for every course you drive so Taster customers get one passenger, Intros get two, Comps get three and Pros get four.
How old do passengers have to be?
