[2dextreme]

Well done to all the winner,
Go the Queenslanders. Sounds like it was a great week of competition would have been excellent to watch Muppet and Todd pushing each other all week. WELL DO BOYS and well done to Peter and Jane
Thanks to everyone for the up date all week as Bobby said it was like being there.
Dale

[mix89]

Congratulations to all! Thanks for all the updates over the last 10 days.


Pete and Jane........ Woo Hoo. Cant wait for this years DVD and BBQ. Congratulations. and Pete didnt even have to modify the bonnet this time.

The June club meeting will have heaps of stories to tell, so will need to get there early I am guessing.

Well done. We are so proud.

Mick and Nat.

[AVAERROLD]

FANTASTIC EFFORT PETE AND JANE see you at rocky hopefully !

[2dextreme]

just letting you that the official word was re: Todd/Ivan that they lost 100pts for outside assistance in borrowing the tailshaft and then were disqualified on the motorcana stage after the protest and placed 2nd @ 1 second behind Muppet and lost 95pts. All 3 stage officials gave the OK for the tailshaft exchange but was still penalized that 195pts in total...

To Todd/Ivan 'CONGRATZ' again on your efforts and winnings!

[XTREME MMM]

Congrats to all the competitors who competed in the 10th OBC.

It was also a top effort put in by all Queensland Teams.

It appears that every year there is always that "Parts Issue" so why not make it a lot eaiser and fairer by changing the parts rule too:-

"If you do not carry it (spare parts) and need it for repairs and get it from someone (competitor, spectator, workshop, spare parts shop or found on the side of the road) IT WILL BE A PENALTY.

This is a no if's or but's solution and everyone knows where they stand at the start of the event.

This system has worked over the past several years in the Xtreme Events.

Anyway all the best to all Teams concerned you did a top job.

Thanks also to everyone for suppling updates during the week.


Cheers
David

PS if your cars are still going Round 2 ARB XWC at Rocky 6th - 8th June.
