Been out sussing tracks today, got 8 mint stages sorted, 4 for before lunch and 4 for the afternoon, most stages have 2 - 3 winches, so if your using a electric winch make sure you have some good batterys......

A few people have asked me about ground anchors, and you wont be needing them, we will supply some rather large pine trees as winch points, and will have other anchor points put in if we think your going to need them.

If you have a ground anchor and you want to use it, theres no problem with that either.

Cheers

Heres a couple of clips from yesterdays track setting, stages 7 and 8

Nah, i stopped there, cause the others were cuttin that tree outta the way.
Theres definitely a winch or two in that stage though

Hi all,
Make sure you bring a big tree protector, 3m+ or a couple to join togeather, theres some damn big pine trees that are going to be your winch points.

Cheers
Tim

interesting that you guys don't use blankets.. But looks like it was a lot of fun and sloppy..

Cheers to everyone who turned up, hope that you enjoyed yourselves and that the damage to your navis and machines wasnt too severe

Big thank you to everyone for keeping the farm clean and tidy, goes a long way with the land owner.

Hopefully we might manage to run another event in the near future..........

Not before christmas, but its looking like we will get the first north island event next year,

It looks like we might run a two day event in febuary next year, it will be a proper comp running club, challenge and modified classes under 4x4Challenges rules with a couple of supplementary changes for modifed class.

And the stages wont be as easy as last time...........

Cheers

Choice!

Approx date? ie when do I need to have my truck going by?
