This close to competition, you are best to clarify specifications with Peter Kitchen at Redlands 4x4 centre. He scrutineers vehicles. Being in Challenge class, if you have not competed before in Tough Tracks, you may be best going down and getting it checked out prior to the event.

The rules are not designed to kick people out.

This comes up every round. The way I was lead to believe that all the cars had to have each modification BLUE PLATTED. NOt DOT approved.

Is this right guys?? (Ithink I am.) :?

I don't think so........ It's just an Engineer approved mod. DOT always have the final say in QLD.

dot make there own rules a blue plate is ment to mean it is dot approved
but they work on two rules .
1 dot is always right.
2 if dot is wrong refer to rule 1.
what they will say is that your car has been modified again since you got your blue plate so they can give you a fine for not being approved.
one almost gave me a fine once for a spring over in my lux.

Bloody challenging one this weekend. Had not many people finish the first two tracks and a few on there roofs. The third track had two options at the end and put a few trucks on there side trying the 1000 point finish.

Broke two front centres on saturday which put me out for sunday.
Time to rebuild things for next year.

Cheers Guys.

Great weekend. :armsup:

Well just got in from our 5 hour trip home back to the Sunny Coast (we detoured to take more photos! :roll:), grubby, exhausted and feeling great! :D We had such a great weekend!

Thanks for a really good weekend everyone, we got some (can +1,500 photos be classed as some???) fantastic shots over the 3 tracks for trophy class. We plan to have them up on our site within a week.

Congratulations to all who competed, organised and came along, we have the best job ever :)

Had a great day on Saturday watching some of the action and having a bit of a drive around Springs for the first time.
Got to see quite a bit of carnage! A number of rolls during the day and a number of drive shafts went in quick succession in the afternoon run.
Will be back to camp at the Springs one day soon and see a bit more of the park. I did get a few pics, not too many though but I will post them up if anyone is interested.
My 4 year old son is still grinning from ear to ear after seeing all of the "big trucks".
Cheers!
