Has anyone seen the competitors list for this year, on the web site there is only seven names. Surely they won’t run the challenge with only seven competitors.

1. Troy Crimmin, Qld
2. Max Bearlocher, NSW
3. Brett Chenowyth, Vic
4. Jeff Winter, Qld

You're right about 2 old dogs ....they will be snarling!

Looking at the list to date, Peter Mihaloff would have to be odds on favourite to take it out this year. Last year he won the first 4 stages before he broke down about Wednesday. But then anything can happen at the OBC.

Nah they where neck and neck till they broke it on the friday afternoon. And had to take a DNF and service penalty. Well atleast thats how I remember it.

Oh and the jump they broke it on would have been interesting.

Hi all, we are heading up to compete for the second time and looking forward to it. I don't want to drive up and back like last year. If anyone is trucking up from Melbourne or who knows where I can hire a suitable trailer could you please let me know by PM.
Cheers Ant.

Hello all, Unfortunaelty due to personal reasons my navigator has had to pull out of the event. I am looking for a new one. If anyone is interested and is willing to contribute towards the entry fees etc. please PM me with previous comp experience and why you'd be keen to have a go. Mechnical and GPS experience is going to be very handy.

Accommodation has been booked for the week prior to the event which means having a wee holiday in comfort before things get rough.

Cheers Ant.
