Kinda sux when it was caused by the queing up vehicles, is that queing normal, or is it only on the first lap?
That first video shows the situation from a better perspective

The queues are just at the start with all be competitors vying for position. Soon opens up and we soon had a lengthy smooth run. Initial line up was due to buggys stoppin for a run up at that slightly boggy incline.

Queuing is a first lap thing, the lower in the pack the worse it is. It was mainly because the hill just before the roll in the above vid was real slippery and following a 2wd buggy was a bit dodgy.

Didn't know it was you pitting next to us Nib, guess we should have worked it out and intro ourselves properly :roll:

Hi kbjj, Not sure if you realise that those vids are of two different vehicles, first is a blue Hilux, second is a green Rover. My apologies if you knew that.

Not sure about Niblik's roll but the que that caused Klem's roll was not a first lap thing. It was due to the fact that Dan Conner (black and yellow 70) had rolled on the track a few corners ahead.

So imagine our disappointment/amusement when we come around and See Raana parked up off the track, then few corners later we see the aftermath of Klem's roll, which was caused by Dan's roll. (these guys are all good mates, shared the same marquee). The only one from that group not stopped on that section of track was the brown 40 (who got 3rd in class 6).

It was awesome.

They don't per say. But you come round a corner on a single lane greasy bush track at 60 to 120kph and try to stop before hitting the unexpected buggy stopped in the middle of the track. That causes varied and interesting results, some of which are roll overs. Good times.
