i heard from a friend that once you get to the 4x4 park it's held at its a bit harder to get to where the drags are at that park.
is this true?

would that be 33" x 14" wide. thats the same as I borrowed off my mate. If I had some money I'd buy them off him. they were bloody awesome. being that wide made it easier to climb out of ruts and they dig better than a termite.

Yeah, got the 33" x 14" ones. They are pretty good but to be honest 2 of my mates have 70 series cruisers, one with 36x12 TSL Swampers, and one with 35x10 Simexs and they both normally get further than I do. :cry:

Does anyone know if there will be different classes in the drags?

Also what time is kick off? Would be good to get a schedule if someone has one.
