Rallywoods Tuff Truck Challenge 2009

[Ryan]

I am keen on this as well, so I am looking for two other team members, I don't care what trucks they are and I have a winch as well, might need a navi as well, not 100% sure on this yet though!

mark me down as a team member?? if ya can handle a zuk in your team??

[skid]

thanks reece


so out of all of those of you who frequent rallywoods and would be considering this event.........


what tracks do you consider we should be looking at for this event taking into consideration that I will be trying to add a track of two that you would probably definitely have to winch

input time please




and after slipping over more than 5 times trying to walk widowmaker, even if we were allowed, I wouldn't consider sending anyone up there. I have seen 3 too many trucks written off on that track.

cheers

SKID (wots my title ?? anybody ??)



p.s. 3rd trial on dec 7, 4th trial on jan 25th

any body keen to do this over xmas/new years

Why the hell not!! Nice and light to pull around if we have too Badnuz and I can drag you all over the place! Like to see you pull us out as well that would be great!

Without wanting to sound like a wet blanket..... the difficulty with trying to use rallywoods in the middle of summer is that everything is dry and hard and it means winching stuff has to be steep high angle shit which makes it a bit more dangerous for a "Fun" and "Shiny" bunch of novices without lots of hard yakka experience and safety stuff like harnesses and cages

I'm not trying to throw a bucket of water on the idea but just something to consider for the direction of the event and what the objectives would be

maybe it rains alot up there in the summer Sadam?
But i think you've brought up a good point.
I'll think I'll pass on this event.

So true, we can always tip water down the tracks, we know it doesn't take a lot of water to make them more interesting.... also put on more clothes

Places like Sliding away, Wong Way, Jumpers Hole, there maybe a few others that are mush all year round???

Given the amount of Interest I reckon we should hold this in December

Tracks are still to be worked out.... (as is a whole heap of other things)

Nooooooooooooooo........ Decembers Beer Drinking month, nobody has any spare weekends

[abbo]

Is there going to be over summer a track finding and opening session ......??? That may be a good time to find somemore tracks to do this . As for skids name jerrys 2ic But if not jerrys idea of december would be good thats if the cook gets my winch going by then

[turoa]

can we open some tracks in the unused part of rallywoods? anyone with a good bull bar could make some tracks in there? just have other people with slashers and chainsaws walk through afterwards

whos keen to go walkies in rallywoods one day

whats with the "walkies" bit, i'm sure we build 4wd for a reason, to eliminate all possible exercise

saves the hassle of extracting a truck from a rack that is overgrown and hiding hidden dangers in an area with steep hills and bla bla bla, you get the idea.




Reece, can you print me off one of your GPS maps of Rallywoods and does it have track names on it

[cool__bananas]

wel on the easier tracks you could pull a dead car that would make it hard

[Pedro]

lol every time i mention the possibility of getting a POS hell and the cubic crystalline state of H2O get mentioned..

i'm glad yet rather perturbed that you realise i'm the good looking one.....(must check for hidden cameras in bathroom).

[mike]

better put a cap on the number of entrants/teams. get mark to put an event registration form up on the association site so its all kept track of. oh and a page about it with a pic of the rover (the competition!)

Mike

[Furgus]

Hey Mike.....I suppose that there is a possibility that the 90 could be finished by then..........if so count me in for team Rover.......(otherwise I could just bring the rally truck )

[Jerry]

yep am setting up a "subcommittee" for this ....
