I wonder have effective they are.
probably just effective enough to be within the rules.


i know it gets done to death each year, but damn, if they're gonna be called 'trucks', they should at least have a windscreen and some sort of original pillars. that red 'sierra' is fuking awesome, but is so far removed from being a 'truck' its not funny

Yeah I was thinking that is was only to satisfy the rules - other 'trucks' have a simlar setup. It's great to see the sport progressing, but where do you draw the line as to what is a 'truck' vs a 'buggy'.

Seriously keen on this rig! It looks a million bucks and still has sufficient panelwork to be classified as a truck.

Just got home, left early because my back has been giving me grief again. This morning Mal V drove the bonus line on the Frame Twister, the Fridge flopped it coming down the big drop off on Mini Wirriba. Didn't take any photos sorry.

Didn't see Friday night's mud run but got the shits with it last night as everyone was getting stuck at the 20pt marker. 30 seconds of driving, 20 minutes of recoveries gets very tedious :roll:

would be interesting to see the breakdown of scores between stages. was hard to keep track of them all during the weekend.
A live scoreboard (like rock events) would be even better
