Ya weak pricks.

I think that the mud should be there. Its just got to be a lot bigger and badder than it was last year. Something that is going to drown the little rigs which havent got any horse power.

I think that a tough truck has got to be able to drive anything.

Probably should have a steep and rutted dirt hill climb as well (with a couple of ledges thrown in for fun)

I also think TTC should start at Windsor with a DNF time on the road stage from Windsor to Singlton being the time it takes to drive up the Putty road at the speed limit. :?:

Definetly need mud as it is a pretty regular track condition in Victoria so it is a real world situation. Granted it needs to be better than last years event. Also like Cheezy's road drive idea. That too will sort the tuff trucks from scary trucks

I am wholeheartedly in agreeance, sorry suzuki boys, but I want to see you guys bail out and swim for the shoreline. Dont worry my 3 tonne landbarge will be there to tow you out, please dont be nearby breaking your axles when I need extrication from a similar predicament. Although, I agree, I want mud, not brown water, something deep and hungry, I want to hear and see the horsies, and the good flying, I want to see cars get buried and some big horsepower and big tyre rigs get through.

I have pulled more cruisers (3) out of mud holes than they have me (0). You would be surprised how deep and long a boghole a zuk can do compared to the bigger vehicles. It's all about weight and wheel speed and I have low weight and can get those swampers spinning

I have horsepower, and I know you all suzukis can argue until you are blue in the face, but I don't care, im just stirring you all, and i'd love to see you guys break into freestyle as you head for the shoreline.

yeah I know I would love to hit a boghole with 500 hp and big tyres but I'm happy on club trips to hit it and slowly but surely claw my way thru. Not the go for a comp that's for sure as it would bore the @#$% out of the spectators and break the time limits.

if you have seen Willowglen bog hole you would have seen cars that boot it with heaps of power sink straight away and the cars that are labouring through with water in ignition ect tend to get out... just what i have seen over the years.

The Problem with the mud at TTC is that the water is so much deaper than the mud. For me the year i ran in the Lockless we did more heartbreaking damage in the Mud than any other stage. We had a totally dead car untill about 11AM on the Sunday as sandy water had got into all the electrics. We were only lucky that i had my buggy there on Display and we could get everything out of it to fix the lockless. The biggest issue we had was that we didnt know where to start as just about every electrical component had issues. Sam Keck went through the same issues with his zook.

But i do agrea its all part of proving a Tuff Truck. And lots of other vehicles have done the mud and not experianced the problems we had.
