a little different to some events.......
in the Hill Climb, at this stage it's locked and unlocked. The twin track it's 4 cyl, 6 cyl N/A Diesel, 6 cyl T/D and petrol, V8. Mud drags is the same as twin track. Rock Crawl is locked and unlocked. The mud run is same as twin track....... these may change, i will post details as i get them. Entry fees will be posted soon... i need to get in touch with Rover park and see if they are keeping the fees the same.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Not too sure how it happened. I was going to ask at the presentation, but didn't get time.

Looks liked a snaped pinion and if you remember the rear diff locked
up maybe the rest of the pinion a little caught up.
