A few plans for this years event.

We hoped to use the Village Green but that may be a little harder than first thought.

Mamaku is also being looked at again. The forest has been partially harvested so new area's need to be found.
Highlands block would also be a good starting day if access is available and we may use Pete Flemings block for a night stage or two.

The Geyserland Club runs this event every year and we don't usually go looking for volunteers. The best way to view this event is to be the support crew for a racing team. Fix CV's while the driver warms up. That sort of thing.

Cheers

George

Pick me, pick me for support crew for monstr, he's BOUND to break a couple of CV's at least :-)

Hey Mate your quite welcome to tag along with us ,We shouldnt brake any CVs for awhile were now running the Cal offroad chrome molly ones and touch wood even though weve tried we havent broken one yet ..Steve

Dak · Post by **Dak** » Thu May 15, 2008 4:49 pm

Heh, yea no worries Steve, I still have memories of the Superwinch Challenge. I'll see all you guys there for sure. :mrgreen:

Just a reminder. This event is held in a working forest.

It is pretty much run behind locked gates. If you are attending as support crew, there will most likely be vehicle limitations on numbers and we have to sign in all vehicles and drivers.

You wont be able to just turn up and drive in.

Make sure you are organised before the event.

Cheers

Ok. Entry forms have arrived.

I can email these out or you can wait, while I work out how to upload them onto the Geyserland website. http://www.geyserland4wd.co.nz/

We have just upgraded the site.

darinz · Post by **darinz** » Tue May 20, 2008 2:30 pm

Are you going to send them to the usual guys or do we have to ask?

Jungle · Post by **Jungle** » Tue May 20, 2008 5:00 pm

They have been sent out to the past years competitors. Not sure if your on that list.
Give me your email address and I'll send them out if you don't already have one.

Cheers

Jungle

p.s. Sounds like they may be on the website tonight.

Jungle · Post by **Jungle** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 4:20 pm

Just a wee update. Track clearing and setting is almost done.
Found a little bit of water for one of Sundays stages.

We still have room for more competitors. But your running out of time.

Checked out the youtube link, just a thought did you bother to recover Jean from that or is the "yota" to be used as a winch point cheers darryn.

monstr · Post by **monstr** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 10:59 pm

Bugger,better make sure i put the bungs back in the truck and Dions got his water wings on ...

Jungle · Post by **Jungle** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 9:23 am

I thought you may have wanted to know what happened to Gene.

Winch motor gave him trouble earlier in the day so I headed around the other side and recovered him with the trusty PTO.
Its bloody swampy out there. i had to be recovered while trying to come in from the other end.

Another link for recovery : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpsObNVA8Uo

Make sure your ground anchors are in good shape. I'll be setup somewhere around that pond as a winch point.
