Rough'n'wild is the and has been the race track at Mt Tarrengower for the last few years. This track is short and fast with lots of rocks (understatement) and some tricky corners. The top rock garden is up there with one of the hardest in Victoria, massive boulders, loose rocks, eroded and long. A challenge for everyone regardless of skill level. The rest of the track is mainly hardpack that rolls well, has a few small jumps and drop as well as a big double towards the bottom. It's a rough track at the best of times
