No portal or drop-reduction differentials.
No rear steer.

PM 1madengineer if you want to clarify these rules any further

Scoring System:
As per XRCC rules but without the "point out" system. Instead, we'll use a 8-15min time limit (depending on course)
No stopping penalties.
Cone penalties.
Reverse penalties.
Out of course penalties.
Fluid loss and safety penalties.
No rock stacking penalties.
That's all I can remember at the moment....

Entry Fee:
Rover Park entry fee only! Superior Engineering have chipped in to cover to costs of the trophies and consumables.

NB This event is a fill in event due to the last round of XRCC being cancelled. We are catering for the "Modified" XRCC class with a few additions. At this stage, we are only planning a one off event unless the demand is such that we develop the format into a series.

Wrist restraints are fine

By "mesh" do we mean welded steel mesh ie weldmesh or are we talking some sort of nylon mesh?

I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here. If what you've got looks to be safe enough, then who am I to criticise?

Thanks to Superior Engineering for putting up the $$ to sponsor the event. Their contribution will keep the costs down to park entry fees only and also go toward the cost of trophies.

Thanks again Superior Engineering

I will come down to help marshall Beebee.
Sean called me today & unfortunately I can't get the BJ ready in time to compete (moving into new house the week leading up). I will probably have a drive of Firetruck to get my fix

Ummm....just realised a minor problem. Sat 24/11 is the day of the national election. I could change the comp date to December but I know some people already have time off work. But is it going to be just too hard for everone to organise their absentee/postal votes? Not sure what to do
