You'd have to have class limits, its like most things in life, if you have the coin you have the edge!

how about a teams event with a twist... say 3 vehicles (everyone knows a couple of keen guys), only one can use a winch, at least one must be on standard sized tires and no none standard traction aids and all trucks must be different makes :lol:

that would level out hte playing field a bit

Hmmm just throwing ideas

You want stages not just one "go all the way to the top"

everyone likes to watch but we all prefer to play!

each stage has to be long enough that its not just a team recovery event

set a safe time limit per stage and points off for slower or slipping outside, points on for creative/impressive shit :lol:

hey it promotes the fun side

Or we could say base pionts for driving and nock pionts off for each use of recovery eg single snatch -10, double snatch -15, winch -25 :lol:

this would promote some really balls out attempts

prizes for most damage, most spectacular etc oh and all prizes to be consumed before leaving prize giving

Has to be safe enough that if you roll/crash you don't need to have a cage!!

Hmmm, getting past my bed time so I'll leave it at that :wink:

Cheers Reece

Scott · Post by **Scott** » Thu Oct 13, 2005 9:37 pm

Reece, sounds like your've got it sussed :lol:

.Does't need to be up hill :?:

maybe along undulating ground with heaps of hazards
Sounds like those girls from the waikato have lost their ball's again [L200-Datsun]wankers :lol:

Cheers scott

De-Ranged · Post by **De-Ranged** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 6:15 pm

Was doing a bit more thinking about this

venue wise we are going to need somewhere central for the north island crowd.... BoP or :idea:

how about the army vehicle training ground at wioru (you know where I mean..) I know they have areas off limits due to use in live fire but they have whole areas that are empty with lot and LOTS of trails

Anyone know how to get access or even if its allowed??

Reece

wopass · Post by **wopass** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 9:12 pm

as far as im aware...

if you want to use/drive on the army land you either

A:do it sneaky as a fox...
B:do it in the middle of the night...with a spotlight and rifle to get deer...
C:get permission from the NZ army and have an army personel with you at all times....near on impossible to organise

thats my understanding of it anyway,unless things have changed

De-Ranged · Post by **De-Ranged** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 9:32 pm

hmmm that bright idea is sounding like a right royal pain in the... :lol:

Any BOP boys know a friendly farmer, who might let us in for a play ???

Hey Scotty/DJ whats the deal (cost) on access to platau forests (don't even know who owns them now :scratch: ) maybee we could organise something round Taupo area....

Cheers Reece

DieselBoy · Post by **DieselBoy** » Fri Oct 21, 2005 1:21 pm

West coast, about 1.5hr's south of Kawhia(sp?)
Its 4000+ of bush and steep hill country.
Private land so i'll be interrested to know what he's got in mind...................

Used to go out there years and years ago with the club when i was a kid.

De-Ranged · Post by **De-Ranged** » Fri Oct 21, 2005 1:33 pm

4000+ of bush sounds great!!

I'm guessing (no idea where Kawahi is

) are we talking some where out on the coast about half way down the north island on the west side ???

Only have one concern... for those of us who like to break things :oops:

how close to civilization is this, how hard is it going to be to get replacement parts to get home??

Cheers Reece

DieselBoy · Post by **DieselBoy** » Fri Oct 21, 2005 1:54 pm

If you keep your balls in the glove box and rely on skill you can go to these places, have a ball and still get home :wink:

They are only in the glove box or under the seat if they need to be dragged out an put into use :lol:

Scott · Post by **Scott** » Fri Oct 21, 2005 2:15 pm

How'st, you blokes sort out the place to 4wd on and date.but maybe some where central,[kawhia is a long way from hastings]Taupo?.
Cheers scott

De-Ranged · Post by **De-Ranged** » Fri Oct 21, 2005 2:19 pm

Yea thats all well and good till you hit "competition mode"

the balls get pulled out of the glove box... common sence goes out the window and the foot goes flat :lol:

this is usally egged on by comments from the sidelines such as "your almost there...." and "Just a little bit faster and you'll make it..."

And I seem to remember something about this being a competition :lol:

I'll plan for the worst! hey remember this is coming from someone who dose damage on friendly trips :oops:

Cheers Reece
