And its over two days not just one, so $50 bucks a day isn't too bad considering

[mike21]

[mudplug]

They all get serious when the starter says go
George

[mike21]

haha yeah true now i thnk about i wana be as competative as funds allow for this event

[Madaz]

Are we going to need a ground anchor?

[BrentC]

Are we going to need a ground anchor?

The man says

"No, its not planned that you will need one "

[BrentC]

Crikey $100 bucks to enter

Just to give prospective event organisers out there a guide to what is involved in organising an event of this sort

as "Steve" said, do the math, even if we get a full field of 20 trucks @ 100 ea, that's 2 grand (and I anit seen a full field of 20 trucks at a club winch challenge yet)
out of that off the top of my head we gotta pay for
1/ property owner
2/ toilets (2)
3/ medic-care (2 days)
4/ hire generator-and feed it
5/ feeding the marshals (because its 2 days and a night)
6/ feed everyone on Sunday
7/ Trophies

there's roughly 2k right there, not to mention all the time and effort that goes into something like this, 4 or 5 meetings, working bees, 8 or 10 key people
20-30 on the weekend

and

because in this day and age, sponsorship for this "club" type event is far to hard to come by

Personally - I asked that they write in the rules that each competitor had to provide a helper for track setting and a marshal - luckily they don't listen to me

[monstr]

Can you please remind me again as to WHY WE DO IT?

[BrentC]

Can you please remind me again as to WHY WE DO IT?

Coz we like standing around in the rain and the mud getting abused by winch rope runners and watching the occasional exceptional performance or stuff up - follwed by the beer, the bar b que and the bullshit

and it sure beats watching coro street (not that there is anything gay about that)

[mike21]

hey brent i have a good mate that manages a HIREQUIP branch. if you want i can put you in contact with him in regards to portaloo's and generator. i'm pretty sure he'd be more than happy to sort sumthing out just let me kno if you want any help with this. thanx mike

[BrentC]

BUMP

[wopass]

i have a crook back at the moment so cant confirm if i will be able to even do it yet, i hope its sorted by then but wont know till closer to the day
