Mark Mitchel. Team Bandage Bear.Dee wrote:wat team was the red zuk buggy? I didnt see them on the competitors list on tuff truck site?
I would also like to say that Mark is a great addition to this sport and really is an all round fantastic guy. What you did at presentation would have brought a tear to many a grown mans eye(for those that were not there Mark handed over his First place prize money from the show and shine to a very sick young boy that had attended this event). Also Mal Van and Phill Noble you guys rock . I was sitting right behind the young boy with Systic Fibrosis at presentation and to see how happy you 3 guys made this young boy by granting him his wish was just amazing. I imagine he still hasnt slept.
Keep up the good work guys and i hope to see everyone again at next years Tuff Truck Challenge.

Mark Mitchel won the show and shine and gave his $1000 prize money to a young boy(aprox 12yo) that was suffering from Systic fibrosis. The young boy had one wish and that was to get a ride in Phill Nobles Nissan at TTC. He not only got a ride in Phills nissan but Mal Van did another full throttle run through the mud run on Sunday after noon with him in the passenger seat and then gave him a very small very controlled and supervised drive of his Bushrangie as well.grimbo wrote:can you elaborate on this for us not thereRUFF wrote:Mark Mitchel.

Well done to Mal, Phil and Mark. Great way to top the event.
I think the organisers might want to change a few things for next year though. especially the mud. Its always interesting when the 5 point marker is the same as the 90 point marker the mud is only there to entertain the crowd at night, I would reckon most of the competitors would happly not have to drive it. All we saw was the recoveries.
The spare tyre rule is a joke. a couple of teams went to the effort of dragging a tyre to each event then others never had a spare near the track. why have this rule. it only leads to problems like the spare falling of A1 VIT.
The recoveries were boardering on deadly with the machinery. i saw a hilux at one stage at least 2ms in the air hanging by its tray which was only held on by 6 8mm bolts and the TLCC guys standing underneath it.
Another time they were dragging something off frame twister and the boom of the machine was about 50cms from the crowd with a chain under full load hanging off it.
After the thread on here about someone dying at cityview and the talk from that you would think a professionally run event might follow the "rules" a little better.

Another top weekend except for some lengthy delays at the mud that seemed to be organisation problems, not recovery problems. The probs at the mud were made easier by the show some of the girls on the hill put on for us.
I'd have to agree with Turbo GU, the mud needs to be revamped along with some of the daytime recoveries. Those small kato's wouldn't pull the skin off a rice custard at full jib let alone a 2 tonne truck jambed up against the rocks..... Certainly an area for improving.
Team Drovers rollover on Sunday was a close call for those spectators. I stood right there on Saturday and watched Red Bitch do the same thing, thankfully for my sake, not as bad. Then there was the runaway tyre. That could have been much worse...... I wonder what penalty the pirate team got for that.
Crowd favourite would have to have been the "fridge". It seemed to go most places that you wouldnt expect a station wagon to go.
Not sure what happened late saturday arvo but I headed back to camp when the action slowed mid afternoon. Only to see Bandage bear come back with a broken portal, Gonads with a broken front diff and red bitch with the front wheel assembly ripped off....... Lesson to self, dont leave the track too early.
Well done to all competitors. My money was on ZUK404, but wasnt to be. Maybe next year guys.
Will upload some pics to the Well Sprung website soon.
