This is the second time I have seen a truck on it's side or rolled over, when will people learn not to use the tracks as a racing strip/track and stick to a reasonable limit :evil: :evil:

One word comes to mind, and I think you all know what it is ........."MUPPET"

Please correct me if Iam wrong but I do think an explanation is needed.

Was a very slow roll, moments inatention, reaching for a drink, then wheel hits rut, steering wheel whipped out of hands, over she goes.

No injuries and minimal damage. A pretty good result in my eyes !

Thats retarded mate, trucks dont just roll on a rut and if the track was gnarly enough to roll a truck he shouldn't of been goin near a drink as he should of been concentrating on the track and controlling his truck :roll:

The place we went to is called, "The Farm". It suits motorbikes, 4wds, horses, great place to go. Lots of tracks out there. $20 per truck for the day.

Hi, this is the location:http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?hl=en&tab=wl If you talk to Al I'm sure he could arrange a trip out there :D If I went you would be shown how a suzuki should be driven :twisted: Redline is good! :twisted: Anyway, some pics and vids of the monday mud session with suzukisport:

These next couple of pictures were a rather interesting moment... :oops:

There was a massive rut in the middle of the track, about a foot deep, caused by motorbikes,
the only way across was to straddle it, but I fell in. Couldn't go back, so I got pulled out fowards.
