A big thanks to Bert and crew from shotover 4X4 club for a fantastic weekend 1574kms later we are home and knackered, good to catch up with other fellow ORE guys and help out where we can. stages were challenging enough in the dry and would have been carnage in the wet but we still managed to Roll twice pics to come later. Again a big thanks to all who put the effort in.

Here some results with everyone in it.. I had a blast and was trying to get through the whole coarse but sadly my truck gave up the ghost on 8 and decided not to start for the rest of the weekend..
I feel pretty good with our placing as we DNS 4 stages and DNF stage 8
Thanks to Leigh for helping a stranded competitor as I stuffed a idler bearing and he had a spare to get truck to the pits..
Thanks to Andrew for lending the trailer so I could get my truck home as I had intended to drive it home via the arrow river.. now I have about 6 wheel barrow full of shit sitting on the street.. Hosed it off and couldn't do anymore as it was dark..
Thanks to Richard for the tow out of stage 8.. otherwise we be still there..
