How was the Rallywoods road?
It was looking a bit dicey for 2wd cars last time I went in
Thanks Malcolm

from gate to bridge is slippery in some places but managable

from bridge to houses is not too bad as theres metal down

from houses to green hut is slippery and was graded by tractor today so may be even more slippery

2wd ute towing trailer didn't make it up there today

HIGHLY ADVISABLE to unload vehicles from trailers behind 2wd vehicles

Love the look of the long range weather report!!

SNOW, RAIN, COLD! COLD!! COLD!!! WET ....

This is gonna be a real challenge this year, the hard dry conditions of the first two Kiwi challenges are just NOT going to happen!!


Note to self, bring best sleeping bag and best raincoat!!!

bring ya walking shoes with spikes so ya dont fall over on the tracks
theres not much spectator friendly areas close to the access roads, so you will be walking to get to them

bring a camera so we can steal your pics after you've walked into the awesome areas

9AM is when you have to be there to start, but YOU have to be there for scrutinizing by 7:30am.

See you there Nick...

Hey just a quick question:

have you sorted a WRC key so the chain can be taken off the RW gate as we did at the winch challenge last Nov so other parties cant untie the open gates from the warratahs and try and lock it while teams, competitors, support people, officials, marshalls, spectators, ambulances and any anyone else I've missed are coming and going during the event as they tried during the Nov winch comp

thought so

Right, I am all loaded and ready to roll, food shopping then I am heading in.

Please remember that there may be 2 way traffic on the road heading to Rallywoods as well as logging trucks coming the other way!! Speed limit is 30 kms and it is recommended that you say at 30 kms once on Bullsrun Road.

It goes without saying, that this event would not of happened without the support of those who came and made new tracks, those who came and marshalled, those who came and competed and those who supported the event by way of sponsorship............

Horowhenua Metal Sprayers
Repco Paraparaumu
Apparel Master
Bartercard
YHI - Neuton Power
ARB - Autokraft

and also a big thanks to Rallywoods 4x4 Park for allowing us to trash the place yet again and cut new tracks all over the place.


apologies if I've missed anyone

Just want to say thanks for the great event you guys just make it better each year the tracks were fantastic We had a great time. So on behalf of team TBS thank you again and we will see you next year.

Thanks very much Skid and Reece for a great time
