Same people, run every two years. Was told the last one was the last....but hey there is a god after all. Pity it's so early in the year, would have made plans to come back and winch bitch for someone. It aint no walk in the park jerry, we had rain all weekend and snow. Hard on competitors and trucks. I remember us all pissing on the winches to cool them at one stage. Some teams spent all night repairing trucks to compete the next day. Some teams pulled out, we did halfway through the second day. Some of our team members had reached their limits in terms of physical endurance! But shiiit, I'd do it all again in an instant, especially around westport, it will be considerably harder then reefton.

Hi Tim
No I don't do competition anymore after a couple of bad experiences years ago.

Steve and Mark Crackett asked me to join them in their team. But I said no. At 65 I'm past rushing and tearing that winch challenges require and would rather have a quiet gin or 2

Cheers Richard

toysuzi · Post by **toysuzi** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 7:54 pm

we have young pat pretty on our team (our secret weapon)
we will not be rushing and tearing but good team work and smart driving
and a lot of fun

would like to say it is not a full on winch challenge
(its not only you Richard that call it a winch challenge)
good club spec trucks with good team work are fine for the even
