you reckon use the centepedes ? i have a set of near new creepy crawlers that i can use as well so if it was paddock type stuff they would be better than the pedes,but if theres big mud holes in the uphill drags then the pedes would be better ....... ?

As Wayne has said it will be up greasy grass hills,with the rain we are having i would be useing tyres suited to that,There shouldnt be any bogs that would favour simex tyres,I personaly find that the CPs and wet grass dont go well together so i would be using the Maxis..Just my thoughts...Steve

Just to clarify one thing ,I drive a 2 1/2 ton Nissan so trying to stop it on wet grass i need as much tread on the floor as i can get and going up hills if its realy steep the only way is to either give it death or risk loseing traction and facing the big backward slide.And believe me when i say you dont want to be doing that up at this park ...

The ground is mostly a real sticky clay, goes from dry and great traction to wet and slippery as hell in 10 minutes of rain.

I'd say that seeing as how this is an organised event, there should be plenty of run off for those unfortunate enough to get into the old reverse slide.
just nail it up the hill as far as you can go and then hold on for the return trip. should be fun.
