I would even enter the over 32" tyre size class too..... just too kick your ass :mrgreen:

4wd TV from Aussie is going to be there also, so you could become world famous in Australia

Hi Rex, thanks for your entry. That business of the "one run"is a tricky one as it will depend on a number of factors such as the number of entries. If we get a big group of entries and promised more than one run we could have a major time problem! We are being cautious and not making such promises so no-one can complain if it's not possible on the day.

Now on the subject of entries....we could use more or Rex will get bored driving in mud! Go to http://www.4x4challenges.org.nz for details and entry form.

A vehicle can run more than once using different drivers who have entered....get someone else to help clean the vehicle! (there will be a wash area to get rid of the worst mud!)

i dont think its about who wins ie:gets the furthest or the fastest at that sort of thing,its more about who has the most fun....and who's covered in the most mud...thats the winner in my opinion

Sounds good. Always looking for some good tracks. Will try and catch ya at mud drags, (if the truck is back)

PeterVahry · Post by **PeterVahry** » Wed Mar 08, 2006 9:41 am

There's been a bit of talk about the Mud Challenge and at least one entry from this forum but the event is looking a bit of a planning nightmare unless we can get some more clear interest.

We would like some expressions of intention to compete at least, to mudchallenge@4x4challenges.org.nz by this Friday evening.

We have reduced the entry fee to $10 if paid before March 18 or $20 entry on the day.

The number of attempts will be dictated by the number of entries.

There are television crews attending so we would like to give them something to film!

The event details are on http://www.4x4challenges.org.nz

We would like to make this an annual event as a fun, no panel damage event for four wheelers but will need your support.

DieselBoy · Post by **DieselBoy** » Wed Mar 08, 2006 3:41 pm

I'll make a new radiator blind to replace the one the winch ate at 11:45Pm in the middle of a bog up the wires loop somewhere, and i'll have charge in mine

I'll be in a easier class to you, but i can't compete against 33" Simex's and Swampers though, so just gonna be doin it for the fun!!!!!!!

wopass · Post by **wopass** » Wed Mar 08, 2006 4:55 pm

rad

have a semi sponsor for the drags

have a mate at HIRE QUIP who is gonna hook me up with a trailer for transporting the missile there and back

so thats very cool

wonder if i should take the road wheels and drive 2 classes

that would be a frikken hoot :lol:

going to try and get some more guys to come allong as well,only daily driver trucks but hey, its all good fun

and thats what im goin for as well :wink:

...that and to get covered in mud :twisted:

lilpigzuk · Post by **lilpigzuk** » Wed Mar 08, 2006 6:38 pm

Good Shit boys!!

Dont know how many more are needed but surely its close....

PeterVahry · Post by **PeterVahry** » Wed Mar 08, 2006 8:28 pm

You guys will need to be good to outrun the full 52bhp of the Series One! I reckon there's just enough tread left on the tyres to handle the power. The only question remaining is which gear to choose.

Don't forget that we'd really like to get an email to mudchallenge@4x4challenges.org.nz before Friday evening to advise who will be coming along so we can sort out a game plan.

There was a question about the extra fee of $5 if you're not a NZFWDA club member and yes that's still payable for each entrant to help cover our insurance.

Don't forget you can re-use a vehicle with another driver...and delegate the cleaning later!

Regards
Peter Vahry

thanks peter :wink:

so $15 each driver if pre paid including the insurance for the event for the day.

im trying to get my mate from HIRE QUIP to come allong as well so that might be another :wink:

the more the merryér :lol:
