[Hobzee]

Hey Rudi and or Hobzee. Pics look awesome and just make me wana leave now! Just one quick question (actualy anyone thats been may be able to answer). What is phone coverage like on site and does 3g make it better? Thanks all.

3G is no good - you need Next G (only Tesltra at present) and an external CDMA antenna (not the pissy little ones - the big ones you mount on bull bar style).

BTW - Kevvy is setting up Kitchen today and the showers are working and the Grog has arrived

[montana]

Hoping to get there for a day or two.Anyone needing help with repairs/parts at Cobar on the way to or from, give me a call on 0428252760 Allan

Looks like theres gona be a good showing from most states. Thats awesome. I think thats just what the sport needs. More national events and publicity to get the public and industry involved to let it grow. Bring on the 4wd state of origin battles!!!!!!!!!! Go the VIC'S!!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha ha

Hi Celia, Tim is racing with his son Tom, team name SA Racing. I will be racing for the first time with my son Trent. Both Trent and Tom have never been part of a team in an event or nav before. So we are doing a bit on father and son bonding. Hoping your not missing the action after your retirement. Thanks for cheers. Gary

[tuf355]

[Hobzee]

OK - only hours to go before the first 2 stages. A night Navigation and a Night winch.

The teams are practicing in the creek below camp and there is a lot of WOW factor out there. Ian Paltrige's supercharged 6 litre sounds the goods and if he can hold it together will be a force to be reckoned with. Spectators are already getting their fill just with warm up sessions.

Smithi has already blown and fixed a front diff.

3 teams not yet arrived - running late and risk missing tonights starting times. DOH!

[RaceGQ]

Good Luck to RaceGQ boys, we'll be wearing the hats and jackets this week for moral support!
Tom, hope you keep dry with all that water/mud....
Dad, try not to run over Tom, he might come in handy....

XOXO

SS1 (20min DNF) One navigation point with teams having to navigate through the scrub to get to the waypoint and then having a winch up the famous White Cliffs to the finsh box.

Car 4 – one of the quickest times of the field
Car 12 – Snapped rope on winch wall, picked up a couple of winching penalties
Car 2 – DNF with Dead Winch
Car 16 – Engine dramas with misfiring
Car 18 – DNF with suspected lost front drive
Car 43 – Main winch dramas, so resorted to backup winch with success.

Many teams didn’t suspect a winch when it started off as a navigation stage and many navi’s caught out without gloves on.

SS2 (30min DNF) 6 navigator plots in a paddock.

Car 59 – 120km/h into a ditch, nosediving vehicle and rolling end over twice(everyone ok)
Car8 – Nosedive into an embankment (everyone ok)

Few teams had dramas picking up satellite signal resulting in frustration.

More updates to follow tomorrow.

[cebarry]

G8 update 'hottiemonster' sound like an awesome stage to start with also.
Exo that u included the team numbers and names...v. helpful......
