THIS WEEKEND!!!

Is anyone coming down from Christchurch that is able to pick up a diff from Rangiora for me?

[Shane]

Anyone know how to get to this event?Location?

Weres Pleasant Point?

Shane

[NJV6]

Pleasant Point is inland from Timaru on the road to Fairlie. Not far, probably 10 to 15 mins from Timaru.

From North, turn right just over the bridge South of Temuka.

Speaking of which, its probably high time I left Invers!

Wow what an awesome event.

The organisers really did well, the stages were awesome and the marshalls did a terrific job.
It was the first time myself and navi had entered and we had a total blast. We did no damage to the truck and I throughly enjoyed the Super Stage at the end of the day. It was interesting to see a couple of the clubmans trucks right up in the times here. Just goes to show you don't have to have the biggest tyres or the most horsepower!!

Hey Glenn "I think someone did something"

Unstoppable!!

[toysuzi]

i to would like to say it was a mint event run really well
i went down to help out the Blenheim guys
also helped changed a cv on barrys hilux

bit of a pain about the wind it did not make it nice for the public
would not like to be having to clean the portaloos up after they fail over as well in the wind.

[NJV6]

Yea, thanks Vince & Kerry. Diff is in.

1st vid of very deep hazard 1.

[NJV6]

Yep Scott, someone did something thats for sure. Here is a good one of You and Jeremy in Hole 1.



And to be Unstoppable you need twin lockers..... You should know that!

[Rocktruck]

Yep that was one deep waterhole. Proves that a 3.8 can run under water. The fan eventually blew the fuse but was easyily fixed by the next stage.

I think we might have to put some bigger drain holes in the seats though.
