Here are the Mainland challenge rulesIf you are in clubmans then yes, you can use wire rope but I think you'll regret it, with the ground anchor and dampner rulings.

Yeah we know. We are unbelievably poor. We have the little Blizzard to use in the club challenge in 10 days, we'll see how it goes. You never know, might fall in love with it and turn up there too.
Tim.
Edit for Q.'s
Whats a 'Pin Plate type anchor' I gather its an anchor but more description please?

Will be doing the scoring for Queenstown at this stage, But I am currently fitting Toyota Himount into truck in preparation for Timaru. Don't have as much spare time these days so if I get to Timaru I will have done well.

Yeah, doesnt matter what kind of winch it was, that was some pretty good speed.

I was asking him about it as I thought the same. Memory was a little hazy by then but I'd 99% sure the only mods were it had been widened.
O and LOTS of revs!!!

Glad you enjoyed. Couple more to come
Maybe Scott will pop in and show the points.
Because there was only 6 stages the points were a bit closer than they have been some other comp's.

Yes I felt left out at the end being still clean and Jared was covered in mud, feeling a little half mast so he deserved a hug
Are you needing a hug because you couldn't compete Al?
