What do I have to do?

CHOP THE TOP OFF!  Teams can compete in any vehicle, as long it was never offered from the factory with a convertible option, and they chop the top and the windshield off. CUT THE PILLARS OF GTFO…Also, no jeeps, because that would be stupid.  Unless it’s a Grand Cherokee, because that is awesome (SEE TEAM JEEPJEEP).

Can I “live chop” at the kickoff party?

Hell Yeah! Join the ranks of teams who chopped their car “LIVE” at the kick off party.  Worried about chopping the top? DON’T BE! We’re here to help and will supply the tools and know how (Additional shop fees required).  Want someone to weld in a roll bar?  We can arrange that too (additional charge/advance notice required).

What do you do when it rains?

What would you do? You gotta get there somehow! Pulling over is always an option when visibility gets too low.

What’s the deal with the points?

This isn’t a race but there are winners and losers…because POINTS! Look forward to endless combinations of how to get and lose points. Check out #choptopchallenge to see points from previous years….See the points page for a list of pre-event points that you and your team might care about.

How do I sign up?

Register on this site when it comes available.  We open registration pretty much at our whim. Because spots are limited there are no refunds. This is your first challenge.

Wait, why?

Because sometimes you just need to go on a topless adventure.
