Manukau Winch Challenge 2015

[themudman2]

Hi all,

Yes, it's on again. Manukau Winch Challenge 2015 will commence on Friday evening November 13 2015 and will complete on the following evening.
The event will be the same as our other events of the last few years. Friday night stages followed by a full Saturday competition allowing for a prize giving on Saturday night and travel home on Sunday.
Entry forms are available at www.manukau4wd.org.nz Click on 'Useful Links'.
Other documents will be available from that site soon.
Being a month later than usual, we hope the weather will be better and we will be able to utilise areas not used for some years.

One verbal SI entry, three from Wellington area, several from Auckland area three days in.

We hope we will also be hosting the NZ1 event (NI vs SI) at the same time.

Entry form and caravan rental details are available from www.manukau4wd.org.nz Click on 'Useful Links'
Other information there as it comes to hand.

As of this evening we have a total of 13 North Island competitors and an indication of five from the South Island.
It seems we may be hosting the NZ1 event too which is basically all the same competitors but with an additional scoring system for prior nominated competitors from each island.
The committee have not yet decided what the competitor limit will be but we have historically limited it to 30 trucks.
Best to get your entry in sooner.

That'll make 13 in modified now (had one other this morning).
Wouldn't hurt to have some more in the other classes though. Especially Challenge.

Pay to check the rules on their website but pretty sure your number 1 jeep will fit in there challenge class no problem.

a challenge class truck is pretty much a modified one but road legal ,ie reg/wof

[wopass]

will check with the old navi and see if hes keen to go for a hoon, bring the 40 out of storage!

cheers mate, im working on the logistics of it at the moment, but should be able to get up there to give the fawdy a run. the ropes probably half rotten by now so expect some breakages

[NOBDY]

If it's any use to anyone, my race trailer is going to Auckland via tokaroa, empty on Wednesday lunch time - short notice, and you need to get your truck back, but could transport a comp truck to Auckland, and probably find some where to store it, before competition.
Call 027 3546466, if you think you might be interested.

Hi guys,

I should be able to arrange for the club rope reels to be on hand should there be a need.

By the way, still a couple of spots left.

[wopass]

wont be coming up mate.

hope you all have a good one.

will plan a few things better so as to do some events in the future.

[themudman2]

Pity, the black FJ is always a sight to see.

[tuff lux]

Been slack but Our Forms on there way...

[themudman2]

Hi all,

Entries are now closed.
I will however accept wait list entries. For these I need the full application form emailed to me but no money paid.
I will email all entrants a couple of days after full payment is due for their arrears.
Any entries which are not fully paid after that may be declined and thereby open an opportunity for someone on the wait list.
Sorry, it really is the best I can do.

Right now we have 35 entries. The most are in Modified Class with 16 entrants.
This year, along with new stages further down the farm we will re-include stages which were last used five years ago such as the rock steps and maybe the long swamp.
We moved away from that part of the farm several years ago due to weather issues. Hopefully we can get back there this year.
The signature "under the bridge" stage will be there for all except Manukau Class along with three other stages in that area.
As in the past, there will be six night stages for the Friday night. Each class will complete three.

That's it for now.

Thanks to Dave and other Organizers and the Marshells.
Good event and good stages, managed to do 6 of them in the 2 1/2 hrs that we were there for on Saturday afternoon. I guess better late than not at all
Probably could have done with a bit of rain to make some of the bits a bit more challenging, but then again the sun was nice.

Wondering if the full results are available with all of the individual stage time or points.

Cheers
Tim

Bump,

Also wondering if there are any videos that were taken, haven't come across any on Youtube yet

Cheers
