Hi All trying to keep as updated as possible from the outerlimits site. Please add updates here if you hear of how our boys are doing!! Last one I have seen.... before the event started
All these updates will be from the outerlimits site (for those that dont surf that site)
Wazza just rang.... Their team "Hoon"..finished stage 2 & 3 now... their times were 2:49 and 3:00 (doing extremely well!!)...
They are in Group B with Kiwi's Mike & Sam, Cass Jones, Kym Bolton and couple Jason & Stephanie.. I'm sure there are others.
Norm Walters DNF in both stages, both winch ropes broke and then 3rd stage snapped pinion shaft on rear diff...
Both USA trucks DNF... either diff or drive shafts broke.
Apparently the Rovers have been hurt just like the USA teams.
Kiwi's very competative and THE HULK is very fast and deffinetly up front of field.
Waiting for some pics of the Kiwi team and The Hulk.... Bel
