Organised by the Auckland Off road racing club http://www.aucklandoffroadracing.co.nz/ the date has changed to 20th November 2010 . Class 6 especially for the winch challenge trucks and is a great fun class.
Two weeks ago at Maramarua forest class 6 was represented by Kerrie Louie, Jason Delehunty, Steve Mc Connell and Darryn Bell at a similar style race namely the Peter Howell memorial race (drive). Typically I used a tank of gas, broke a tail light, forgot my lunch (was very excited to go out for the day) and drove hard all day. Raced cheap, finished with a huge smile.
Because the challenge rules around safety,wof and reg are the basic requirements its never been easier for us winch guys to come have a go and get some air ! Also good driving time behind that steering wheel.
So... come and have a go try out 4th gear for a while... any questions just ask. The entry fee I think is $100.00 it may be more just check the link to auckland offroad racing site for the updates and entry forms.
You will need... usual challenge gear like cage, helemet, extingusher then ditch the plasma rope, highlift, n shackels etc bolt on some lights (big is good) . The seat belts need to have split pins in the fastenings at the vehicle end small mod there. You can run ya 35's I don't though as don't have GG's to do that so run smaller tyres. Oh and fancy race overalls are not a must have as they let you race in clean non greasy cotton (mechanics) overalls.
Oh, I forgot to mention, its all done and dusted by 10pm the rece starts in the daylight. So, go grab a big box of fun, don't forget to ask mum if you can come and play.
