Had heard they had run some good consistant times. No doubt still learning the capabilities of the Jeep after it's complete build up. I think Jonnie drove it once in the bush before heading to Broken Hill.

Latest news...............

From Viewmont

- Muppets and Todd & Ivan are in for a very competitive week pushing each other in the some group with Todd & Ivan taking the honours in last nights mud stage.

- Jeanette from Venezuela is sick of the mud already :? She's in for a long day today :D

- Wormy and Clay are still having winch issues.

From Denian

- Birdy and Kev made it to Denian but rocket cover was leaking and has been repaired with some sort of sealant. The also left a hose clamp off which caused something to fall onto the turbo and nearly catch fire.

- Jonnie Stavrou and Andrew Dyer didn't make it out to the sand last night. Believe they have a busted axle.

- Top times on the motorkhana last night were Birdy, Kym Bolton and the Prado from South Africa.

Cheers, Verena and Todd Joyce (now farming, no longer racing, bummer)

The 3 hour nav stage at Viewmont is awesome :armsup: It's a great test of the driver's patience, the nav's endurance and team strategy. You know you have been competing when you get to the end of this stage ;)

That stage is a good one to get at the end of the week, plenty of wheel tracks to follow.

To succeed, focus on the solution, not the problem.

Good job with the updates guys. Really appreciate it.
I am following the Jeeps so any info you come accross would be good to hear about it. Hope Johnnie and Andrew get some good runs in the New TJ. No testing at all if they finish unscathed it will feel like a fairytale. The Venezualen team are a great and funny bunch of people. I hope there new car holds up to the outback. They are also untested. International teams raise the profile of our sport. So far it sounds like the locals are in there comfort zone though. But you never know what the outback has instore for you I guess.

Beware if doing repairs in Brocken Hill, someone tried to remove parts from the Zookie overnight. Brett and James were there doing repairs to some electricals after the water logging they got.

Unfortunately have no contacts at Poolamacca or Nundooka at this stage but may get news from Danni while she is in Broken Hill tonight.

Just had a quick call from Jonesy at Denian to say.........

- The Polish Jimny requires repairs in BH after its spectacular roll over earlier today. They attempted the sand wall anyway and dnf'd. As a bit of comraderie the remaining competitors pulled the Jimny up the wall using a winch extension strap :armsup:
