It is the first time you have run this event , keep it simple run all teams in one class then make changes if necessary next year. Most competitors have entered knowing it is a one class event & some have probably gone out & spent money on bigger tyres to compete in it.

I personally would like to see the buggy type vehicles in a seperate class.

Cars that genuinely fit within the rules in a seperate class.

but than out of the rules what are they going to constitue as a buggy , considering no buggy's are allowed.

i say keep it as one class , unless because of all the big names coming you've gone out and modded the tracks to test their vehicles , than it might be abit too challanging , but if the tracks were made and designed for all than the big names popped up than so be it , them driving the tracks we were going to be driving anyways wont change anything etxcept the overall placings , and as said if your in it to win it , you need to have the rig capable to go up against other capable rigs , other wise your out there just to see how well you can do .

or you could split it into 2 classes
1) 1.3ltr engine running 35" tyres and under , with female navi's
2) the rest

the tracks have been driven by a hilux on 35'"s but the hilux is pretty capible. And as everyone knows as soon as a stop watch is started and the buntings up it all changes.

[Toperi]

The tracks havent been made harder to cater for the big boys, they will do a lot of it easier. There is actually one lot of bonus points on Stage 2 that the big cars physically will not get.

I think it will stay as one class and we will put some more prizes into the rest of the field, maybe next year we will run 2 classes. We will see what everyone thinks this year, we think they are fantastic stages, all challenging but driveable, there will be no penalties for winching on any stage, just the time loss.

We are all excited and stressed at the same time, it will allow all teams good seat time ( 30 mins ) of adrenilin charged competition. Bring It On.

Chad , im sure you could manage to find someone to fill the passengers seat for you ..... then if you can drive everything they wont even have to hop out & get their hands dirty !!!! AS IF !!!!!

seriously though ... get in touch with Wayne Murphy & see what you can sort out with him

[AT4ANTHONY]

Shame about phil was looking forward to competing against him.

[Turbo Tonka]

yeah what happened with noble??his trucks been getting around a bit lately doing demos and showin off of the gear etc in town at local drift days and stadium truck racing?

[Toperi]

I was told Phil had a couple of small repairs or sumthin, no time to fix them and work commitments. It is still a very high quality field.
