About the event

Car Poker Run Observation Drive 24th May 2026

On 24th May 2026, our fundraising team “Crash Test Dummies” will be hosting a Poker Run 

and observation drive, kicking off at 10am.

 The event is to raise funds for Cancer Research as part of the Greater Box Rally fundraising 

efforts, which have raised over $60 million in the past 10 years, and we are participating as 

part of the Mystery Box Rally 2026 in October. 

 $10 per car entry fee, which includes the observation drive form. 

 The Poker Run is $5 per player, with $2 for each extra card at the four checkpoints 

along the drive, with ties decided by a best-card-wins draw for a cash prize. 

 We’ll also have a raffle ($5 per ticket) drawn at the end of the day with donated 

prizes, 

 a Bar Maids’ choice award for the Bar Maid’s favourite car, 

 and a prize for the highest points in the observation drive, with points given for 

accuracy and deducted for each minute off the officials’ times (no speeding!). 

 $5 Lucky Number 100 draw $200 prize.

The drive will wrap up around 1pm in the Pokolbin area (final location to be confirmed). 

EFPos will be available for entry fees and pre-paying for the Poker Draw.
