"I've heard great things about Deni and I'm really looking forward to attending the event. With this being my first Bathurst in a V8 Ute I will be listening to what the other guys have to say over the weekend," said Pither.

The drivers will have their race-utes on display for all enthusiasts to see. Gary "Chuckie" Baxter, Nandi "Mr Damage" Kiss and the 2009 Bathurst round winning car of Gary MacDonald will also be on display.
