I will be there. Hopefully in my own truck - getting some more mods this week so I am hoping it will be ready enough to take. Otherwise in my mates big green 100. Was great last year and should be great this year.

We will be swagging it in our spot X up the road a bit. Official camping sites within a few klm are taken damn quick but if you scout around and take a few side roads you should find a good clear spot for camping.

Not good news for Danielle.
All I know is that Autobalance Adam in the 80 Ute has busted a panhard rod but still managed to do a good time on the stage. Hopefully I hear more later and post up here.

Spoke to Dan (Yarra Valley Club) at Hilltop Pub ~7.30pm..............Top few teams consist of Mike Smith, Pete/Birdy, Chris Nash, information a bit sketchy so don't know who's in front.......Kermit and Cutters both broke winch cables today......Sandy and Rohan going good but no mention of them being in the top placings a.t.m.
The ground is WET......and the bogholes are opening up badly by the end of each stage....so the teams running last have a disadvantage.............
One boghole reportedly up to 200m long :armsup:
No more info at this time.......

Lots and lots of damage everywhere..

As mentioned .. Benny Russell rolled end for end onto team mates truck, cage damaged big time , so he's pulled out.
- Adam O'brian rolled over 4 times, not sure if still running. Tonnes of panel damage.
- Sandy's truck drove on 3wd all day. Competitive times, so still looking good for the guys. Doing some repairs to diff tonight, but should be up and running and ready for tomorrow.
- Adrian (kermit) and Allan Cuthill pulled out. Front wheel came off Kermits truck and damaged hub.

Wazza mentioned Stage 6 was a killer stage. Only 5 out of 12 trucks at the time had completed the stage in time. Other's dnf'd.

Tomorrow one more 90 min stage to do.

Just got back oh what a weekend :armsup: :armsup:no snow though:cry: could only describe as awsome carnage everywhere and especialy on us that went hard at the Hilltop pub By the way Mud empire you interupted the video night show off at the pub (there was already quite a few with a skinfull by then) we have some tops footage and pics sure to put them up soon.
Man today was nuts it was rollover central there was bent cars everywhere and the T boning of cars left some serious damage.
Only one truck drove the wall and dam what an impresive drive of course it was a ROVER the defender ute from Blackburn 4x4 got that on video aswell.
Kermit got rear ended by his teammate so that smick new tray become second hand real quick then on the next stage he had head on with tree and bent the bullbar and smashed front guard and made it look little tarty but man does that thing sound sweet.
Sorry dont know the standings and i think there is more racing tomoz anyway

To all those we met at the pub dam top bunch of friendly people same with the owners with who nothing was a problem.
And realy sucks that the patrol got keyed in the carpark frigin pricks hope you get it fixed alright.
As for BigCam you are a disgrace but a dam funny one at that. Think we have to do it again next year.
LATER DAMO

I have an idea for the car PC that just came to me. I have seen USB ext cables that do not work with some devices. I noticed the CDrom only worked at USB1.1. speed. I have 3 ext cables and one doesn't work with my usb wifi network card but did work with a memory stick.
Wierd.
So he got the hundred then. please post link when ready.

.

Cheers.
