was a great event.. never fails to please both the fans and drivers i would say.. i enjoyed myself immensely, my coey didnt like a one particular steep drop off bank.. think it was hazard three.. lmao

truck came through it pretty well. only damage on the day was a blown fan fuse and two hits with the crc in the distributor cap in the arvo session.. new fuse, away i went.. first session it went well, no problems..

only got a few vids of quality as my daughter was vid chick for the day.. i'll educate her on decent camera duties later.

I should be cleaning my truck. Bob ok by the looks, how was his truck? I went out right on that stage as was told someone rolled there.

Nice vid pete, Yeah that drop looked a little steap for me, as I couldn't approach it how I wanted, so went to the right.

[red-devil]

Great day out there. Missed most of the morning action but enjoyed the arvo.

Got a few shots but couldn't see my crappy cameras screen in the sun so didn't bother taking many.

[niblik]

sigh

Great event well organised and very good site for spectators, it was good to see such a good turn out of people. Big thanks to the sponsers and organisers,
Yea and well done to Jeremy on his placing he beat me also, but i was pleased just to of had my truck up and running in time for the event. Nibz great pics and vids mate and good to see after all the hard work getting the truck ready it performed well and you had blast.
Ive got more pics and vids also so will get them up to at some stage.

One of the 1st things I thought as truck lay on it's side was, I knew I should have asked Scott to wind his window up. Jo did a good job, I'll keep her on

[pradon35s]

the zuki samurai on its side? who owns that?

I have a feeling it is my old truck?

Sorry. My mistake. Getting bit confused with pedros pos he's selling on tm.

[madmule]

i would love it to be supercharged tho. your truck sounded good when it didnt have water in it.

Who came 1st 2nd and 3rd over all?

[Mongoose]

It was clear that driver skill and technique was a big factor on the day with some of the less modified trucks doing better than the big dollar machines on occasion.
Other than that it was hard to say what mods were really the difference between making a stage and not.
I'd say the Simex/Silverstone tyres seemed to work the best but other than that does anyone have any comments on what were the crucial mods on the day? Plenty of power seemed to work well for some people but then the little Zuk and the hard top series 3(?) Landy which sounded like a 4 cylinder both went very well with minor mods.
