I should be cleaning my truck. Bob ok by the looks, how was his truck? I went out right on that stage as was told someone rolled there.
Thanks Jason, didn't really think I would beat you, but happy I did Absolutly wrapped how my truck performed. Co-driver didn't squeel, but apparently he quietly shat himself more than once .
A few pics my wife took. She only took pictures of our truck

Nice vid pete, Yeah that drop looked a little steap for me, as I couldn't approach it how I wanted, so went to the right.

i have 30 mins of vids that i need to get through. most are about 30 secs long

Great day out there. Missed most of the morning action but enjoyed the arvo.

Got a few shots but couldn't see my crappy cameras screen in the sun so didn't bother taking many.

i feckin hate hosing out/cleaning my truck.. still, rovers are great hose out vehicles, so thats all done... just the swamp weed caught up on everything thats a pain.. so engine and underside to go..

sigh

Great event well organised and very good site for spectators, it was good to see such a good turn out of people. Big thanks to the sponsers and organisers,
Yea and well done to Jeremy on his placing he beat me also, but i was pleased just to of had my truck up and running in time for the event. Nibz great pics and vids mate and good to see after all the hard work getting the truck ready it performed well and you had blast.
Ive got more pics and vids also so will get them up to at some stage.
I havent even thought about cleaning my truck yet im waiting for the rain to come then ill just leave it out side to get a wash.

Now you know why I have no carpet in my truck jeremy. Mine was much the same. Even had to pull the drain plug out of the bell housing as the clutch was slipping there was so much water in it. There good quality pics ya missus took too mate.

One of the 1st things I thought as truck lay on it's side was, I knew I should have asked Scott to wind his window up. Jo did a good job, I'll keep her on

just a question..

the zuki samurai on its side? who owns that?

I have a feeling it is my old truck?

sold it just with 2" lift and 31 muds

Sorry. My mistake. Getting bit confused with pedros pos he's selling on tm.

i would love it to be supercharged tho. your truck sounded good when it didnt have water in it.

Who came 1st 2nd and 3rd over all?

It was clear that driver skill and technique was a big factor on the day with some of the less modified trucks doing better than the big dollar machines on occasion.
Other than that it was hard to say what mods were really the difference between making a stage and not.
I'd say the Simex/Silverstone tyres seemed to work the best but other than that does anyone have any comments on what were the crucial mods on the day? Plenty of power seemed to work well for some people but then the little Zuk and the hard top series 3(?) Landy which sounded like a 4 cylinder both went very well with minor mods.
