I think it only fair that the comp started with out needing a WOF reg etc then we must finish that way. So bring it on Same set up as Nor west sounds like what you wont.

I feel that the club class is a fun entry class. This is where you get the tast of it and if you like the flavour you can take a bigger bite and step up .Try in the truck you have put a roll bar in and have some fun. The guys that realy wont to win will go to Challenge class.

PICK ME pick me. I have a 35 x 16 x 10.5 SIMEX tyres and did not have enough money for 5th one so found a cheap worn kumo 35 x 15 x 12.5 spare and have that on the back. This ment i could put more petrol in the old truck and other parts.

Hi guys just a thought. This page and the challenge site is where the tyre info should come up for others to read. Sorry to wopass for the Hijack on his rust repairs etc page.

Sorry Guys. I have looked through rules and it was never that clear to me and have had the idea on many comps to leave the spear at home. I did have a large on my face when the other posts came on about spear wheel. Sorry about the HIJACK. Have just put my Pto back together, The GT is a fantastic ...

Best place for that extra weight is back at the camp on the trailer with the spear parts. There is no time to change the tyre in the stage. And when you on club run tow strap is hocked to back ready to tow suzuki/fords etc.Tool box is for the lunch only
