Round three Whangarei Club Champs
This will take place at Lincoln's Dad's place at Settlement Road, Kaiwaka. A total of 12 hazards.
Usual competition rules Helmet & Recovery Rope/Strop required
I will travel down on the Saturday 21 May and peg some hazards then Sunday we will have a drivers briefing at 08:30 for a 08:45 start on the Sunday morning (22May). I will be charging each driver $10.00 as a donation to the Land Owner for the use of his land.
Hazards will be pegged so that Shiney type vehicles should be able to get to 80 or 60 points without a lot of effort, Zertos will be pretty much rally type vehicles only on most of the hazards
ORE members that wish to attend, more than welcome, but dont be afraid to let me know that you are going to turn up. (Before the Saturday Please)
Cheers Dan

I'm aiming to be there in the Lada.
Hmm... Two brothers competing in their stock-standard, underpowered, small 4wd's...
Should be fun!

Re: Round three Whangarei Club Champs
Hey Dan, would love to go, but at this stage it would probably be a no. The truck is still in pieces so won't have enough time to get it ready.
You should be saving gas money for Rotorua or be competing, not marshaling

You don't need a WOF to drive on a farm

Re: Round three Whangarei Club Champs
trouble is... There's 100km's between here and the farm, most of which is patrolled by cops
Maybe I'll just go to the WoF place my friend did, not test drive needed
Oh, and there's 9 vids of the Lada on my channel now, if anyones interested. http://www.youtube.com/user/SP450andLE
God youtube takes ages to upload vids...

If you have a fixed body you dont need a cage. This next bit applies to everyone, If you bend your vehicle becasue you chose to drive it somewhere, dont come crying to me as I dont care.

Yep same cost to enter $10 per driver you can cross enter drivers in a vehicle.
Last club champs we had 27 drivers in 20 vehicles
Depending on the number of vehicles/drivers and hte difficulty of the hazards we may split into 2 groups

Re: Round three Whangarei Club Champs
Well at the farm on the weekend, Went for a small drive over it and it is getting very wet and slippery, the grass is long due to no stock on there and the mud is soft, will be great fun next weekend.
