Excellent. Always need lots of Marshalls/ helpers.

For anyone else thinking about it not only do you get a free lunch, you also get a free ride in our new Monster Truck 8)

But wait theres more :D


All registered assistants also go into a draw of 2 cash prizes of $100

So if you're keen let me know

Cheers

these guys put the effort to put on events because every one
has said there are few and far between.
lets support or they will not make the effort.

no use having 150 people watching 5 trucks, that suxs

thermal thunder last year at the park was personally the best event of the season but again they were on 7 trucks :(

The tractors were all sorted but we had 2 entries for the 4wding. I see a thread has started saying that competition is only for elite trucks blah blah. The guy that won our last mudplug was driving a standard Isuzu Bighorn with 33 inch tyres. And people wonder why there are no events :roll: :roll:
