If you're talking 'similar to Black Rat', then are we assuming:
* Entry is by invitation to interested clubs only?
* Up to 8 courses, with marshaling help from invited clubs?
* Individual members of the invited clubs are therefore the only competitors (i.e. no 'non-club' members?)
* Courses to suit near-standard 4WDs?
* Family friendly event?
From the 'Black Rat Challenge' days, I know our club enjoyed the "participation and co-operation" feel of the event. We had a lot of fun, and it wasn't about sheep stations!
As for you Thunder: pack ya woollies & thermals mate!!!!
That about sums up the event, even though it hasn't been held for a few years and it's at a new location, the basics that made the BlackRat such a popular event will remain unchanged.
The cost, details about the 4 vehicle classes and the location will be supplied to the invited clubs shortly. This info will not be posted on a public forum, but I will add that all vehicles are catered for, from stock standard up to the highly modified. And they all drive different sections of a stage or completely different stages, the standard vehicles don't drive the same tracks as the more modified vehicles.
We'll be accepting a maximum of 120 entries, and there will be an option to have 2 drivers per vehicle.
Like previous BlackRats this will be a competitor only event.
We're glad to be back hosting events, hopefully this will be the first of many at this great new location.
