My understanding is some of the stages will require winching up, trials truck or not
But is Ryans call, its his show

i wasnt saying i can drive everything, but if one guy has a good winch and is capable of pulling 2 trials trucks (because they are light) surely it aint a problem?

Sounds intersting, what sort of 4wheeling are you thinking this will involve??
Farm tracks?
Trials style hazards??
Winch Challenge type timed stages??
Or some thing kooler????

A bit of every thing, some speed sections, some drops into valleys of bog and winch out again from the other end
Sections that won't start till after dark
We are doing a recce trip in there soon to plan the hazards so will have more info soon
Stay tuned!

Jerry, I see my wife for somewhat less than a weekend at the moment, and that sems to be the way of it for the forseeabel.
Can I take a raincheck? Who knows what may change by the time this exercise rolls around.
I think you need younger fitter skinnier winchrope runners anyway!!!
