thanks

we never took one or needed one when we were up there last time as there are plenty of trees to winch off but having said that we probably spent more time in the pits trying to get all the peaty mud out of clutches, radiators, starter motors, alternaters etc than we did out on the tracks


we used my red one at the costa teams event last year and it seemed to bite in pretty well pulling a couple of cruisers and a Saf (but that was before I modified the length of it to get a deeper bite), I havent used the yellow one but it seems to be pretty close in the angles and lengths and I'd be pretty sure its a copy of an origional firma grip ground anchor, can measure up the angles and lengths for you if you want them?

get in contact with stinky from wtbs he was making some.

[pruggerdore]

your right saddam, trees everywhere(I am one of the organizers) just want to be properly prepared and should have one in the kit I carry all the time anyway
