Yep, run as a series, points taken from you 4 best rounds out of 5. No D class. Is only a fun series so classes kept as simple as possible. No license needed (apart from drivers), but must be member of a club

Do you know if north shore are having the golf ball or the blind fold this year, lots of the guys were not keen on it last year and probably wont be there this year if they are doing it again, I think if they want this sort of thing keep it out of the series points and have it at lunchtime where it can involve some spectators,visitors or kids for a ride.

yeah, heard a lot of feedback bout that - on one hand its a fun trial, the other hand, there are people travelling huge distances (guys from whangarei club) who want too go wheeling not fark around with non 4wding stuff. Will bring it up

not in teh laurie sanson series its not

so if i get my springs sorted i would have a bit of an advantage

Yes , your otted up winch truck with all the toys ends up in A class , so long as it has a "current Wof and Reg "

The classes are as stated , there is no difference for engine size .

We all know size does not count , eh Rex .

There will be no blindfolds however there may be one or two hazards that you would find at a hard Gymkhana - purely up to the Nth Shore guys - they set their own hazards and there is an emphasis on getting more shiney to club trucks involved

hell even I am going to enter

have a look at http://www.manukau4wd.org.nz planned club trips tomorrow and I will upload latest detail from North Shore 4wd

enter on day?

How can they continue wih the Gymkhana events when people are competing in a 4x4 series, people spend alot of time and money with rally trucks so maybe the time has come to seperate the shinys from the rally trucks
