OK, I have been in contact with the organiser, and have some details for all those interested.

Entry is on the day, no entry forms available before the event.

Course will consist of about 20 obstacles, typical mix of technical, and a couple of novelty, speed (not 100KPH stuff), and possibly a blindfolded, timed figure 8, so co pilot required + mud of course

The course is based on a river terrace, but there will be nothing in it that would require a snorkel.

Roughly 3 classes, but organisers, on the day, may choose to but you in which class they think best suits your vehicle (to make it as fair as possible)

Classes will be roughly

: STD Class= 31’s or smaller, no lockers (Basically road trucks)

: Modified = 33’s or lower one locker, could possibly stretch to two lockers.

: Unlimited/Open = usual rules here.

Trophy for first in each class, plus prize money for 1st, 2nd, and third, certificates for up to 7? Place.

Comp will start 10am, scrutineering will be between 8:30-9:30 on the day.

Entry fee is $30.00 on the day, it will be donated to the Mayfield School.

Usual rules for a mud plug, helmets, belts etc.

I have the venue details, which will be sign posted on the day, I will post a map soon.

If you have any questions you can contact the organiser (Tim Boyd) on 0274967301 working week number, or 03 3036280 weekends and evenings.

Expect to see the LR there in all its glory (and smoke, might buy some winns stop smoke ) and the Surf towing it

Mike

You are going to have both trucks working at the same time

I might go buy some shares in Wynns....I have a feeling there share price is about to go up....lol

might have to throw my pos rover in there too..

Best I can do for a map at the moment, I will see if I can do better, Google earth hasn't been past this bit lately, so its not good enough in this exact area to give good resolution.

Keep watching, and getting ready!

Also how do I allow other people to add photos to the album?? I went to permissions but cannot change the nobody to everybody.

Great shots Trucky!!, Good to meet you and the lovely Lil Miss Zuki

Great day, my superior co-driving skills (read: ballast....) saw us do well on the day...

When's the next one.......

Need a co-driver, Mike?

Oh, and guess what I got today..........



Well worth the wait......



only 18mths late.......

Awesome day out in the LR, few breakages but the only hindering one from a repair job on a shock that didnt really work as it failed on the first articulation!

Through the help of nibs, goose and lilpigzuk we got it all tied down and with no limitations from a shock we had the flex of roks and hirikluxs trucks ok maybe half that

Highlight of the day: Hearing the marshal say that we were the only truck to get up a hazard including trials trucks/buggies Had to prove later on with lilpigzuk that it wasnt a fluke

Low of the day: Knowing exactly what would happen in the mud hole to the old girl (loburn coming back to haunt) and guess what happened.... loburn all over again I'll get that snorkel on!

Speed sections were the best ive driven in a 4x4 event (all 4 of them ) and the course was very well layed out with some quite narly hazards. Big ups to the organisers!

Thanks to goose for the repair strap, co-driving and the navi hand signals on the speed stage 2

Talked to the organiser and this is apparently a 2 year event. well worth entering!

Mike

A couple of my shots.....
