[NSW] Nissan Trials 2009

[taps]

They wont use main entrance into comp area anyway, unload trucks and drive them in, park trailers at the top.
Pretty simple really.

[Nelso]

It will be aimed as a step up from a Son of trials event for cars that can't compete at Son Of Trials but not big enough for nissan trials proper. Eg your GU on 35's etc
as an EXAMPLE
touring up to 33's no lockers

Isn't that the same as Son of Trials? Why offer another comp the same or is the aim to duplicate the atmosphere of Son of Trials?

Tuff Touring 35's lockers minor type mods eg 5 inch lift

Why not keep the same rules as 'modified' from Trials? ie. 36's, lockers and gearing but no change in links, etc. That way people could use the car for Willoglen or Nissan Trials proper if it gets back up and running.

I'm not criticizing, just throwing out ideas. Good luck with getting something up and running, whatever the format.

I think thats what will happen if people tow there trucks in but not 100% shore

[a-frame81]

Sounds like it could be ok to me. I wouldn't put my 4Runner through the regular Nissan Trials and with a rear Detroit locker I don't meet Son of trials requirements either.

I'll be keen to see the vehicle classes to see if I'll enter...

sounds good to me...


anyone want to lend me a set of 36 pedes?


either way, i hope they will make the event a considerable step up from trials and more people can still compete..
(maybe if theres enough of the bigger guys to compete make a seperate class with certain penalties etc...? )

what ever happens il 99% be there as a spectator or competitor?

Does that allow wrap bars for the leafers?

They are examples only. nothing is finalized.
Son of Trials runs standard class and touring.
Touring at Classic Trials would be like standard class at nissan trials
Tuff Touring would be like modified class at nissan trials but this is on a possabilty and what sort of tracks can be built

[Mid73]

Does that allow wrap bars for the leafers?

i would say so as thay where going to be aloud in mod for the trials, it more if the factory location and desine of the surspention has changed.

Cool, thanks for this.

[Screwy]

very very interesting............

I guess it takes steps to come back to full form.............

definately seems a shame about the lack of big trucks.......

seems to me it will be very similar in all ways to Willoglen, which isnt a bad thing nessesarily....

see what happens.

an anti wrap bar is an extra linkage . i think back in 2006 you had to remove it or go into open class (could have been 2005)

i dont think it has to do with factory location as oppossed to going from leaf to coils , std front patrol to 5link etc ,or independant to live axle . i ran reverse shackle as did a number of others with extended leafs and mounts and stayed in modified (as the link's were the same in number and running original type suspension ie leafs )

[tuflox]

can i run my gu ? 6 inch lift ,front locker,5.0l v8,no more power than a 4.5 just sounds better

[Mid73]

The rules still have to be set. so there is no whey that can be answered yet

[DIRTY ROCK STAR]

lets hope next yr a new venue is sourced and outlaw etc can run again.

although it is a concern that 8months before the event the classes were "resized" that is sufficient time for a DA to be lodged for elsewhere and you guys are already in the know with insurance etc and paper trail.

[ET4Runner]

any updates on this?

In last few years I'm pretty sure NT info came out around July (at least when I was team manager), and I'm sure this year the Nissan club have plenty to organise, so it may be a little longer.

PUBLIC RELEASE

2009 4WD ACTION
CLASSIC NISSAN TRIALS - UPDATE

November 7 and 8

As has been recently announced The Nissan Patrol 4WD Club is progressing well with preparations for the 2009 Classic Nissan Trials. With that we welcome on board as a key partner in the event the team at 4WD Action Magazine.


Track Progress

The main events have now been determined and construction of the tracks is about to commence. Tracks will be a mixture of some of the Son of Trials tracks modified to suit the higher level of competition and the resurrection of some of the very challenging original Nissan Trials Tracks.

For the veterans of the Nissan Trials think Foo Foo, Archie’s Hill, and Stairway.


Vehicle Classification

As has been previously announced there will be 2 classes of vehicle for the 2009 4WD Action Classic Nissan Trials. The 2 classes will be Touring and Tuff Touring. An outline of the classifications is below:

Touring Class – will be much like the Touring class at Son of Trials. Vehicles may have a maximum of 4 inch lift above standard, maximum of 33 inch tyre size, NO traction aides such as diff locks or electronic traction control devices, Fluffy Dice to a maximum of 2 inch square.

Tuff Touring Class – Vehicles may have any size lift above standard just so long as the standard character of the suspension remains, No active suspension setups, maximum 35 inch tyre size, traction aides permitted (including diff locks and electronic traction control devices), Engine swaps/modifications permitted, Fluffy Dice to a maximum of 3 inch square

All competing vehicles MUST be road registered and proof of current registration will be required.

Competitors who are planning vehicle modifications in the lead up to the 2009 4WD Action Classic Nissan Trials should seek clarification as to whether their modifications will be permitted prior to the event.


Competition Format

Each class will be run separately. There will be winners and place awards for each class, ie you will be competing within your class not between classes. Some events will only be tackled by Tuff Touring class, some events will only be tackled by Touring class, and some events tackled by both.

Each class will compete on 8 events which will be a mixture of competing to achieve a preset time (similar to the Son of Trials format) or competing to progress as far along the course as possible (similar to the Nissan Trials format). Events will be of 1 type or the other.

Scoring will be lowest score wins. Events with a preset time will be scored by way of each second either side of the preset time will incur 1 point.

Events where competitors are attempting to progress along the course will be scored as front hubs past the marker. 100 points will be the start of the event, and 0 points will be awarded for completing the event. Point markers will be strategically placed along the track.

As we get closer to the action of the 2009 4WD Action Classic Nissan Trials further details of the rules will be published.

We look forward to welcoming everyone to the new format 2009 4WD Action Classic Nissan Trials and plan to make it an exciting and fun filled weekend for all families and 4wders.

Will the entries be on a Team basis for this event ? ( ie 4 cars per team ,per club)
As this is a new event will entries be open to "all clubs" on a first in first served basis ? ( No bias given to long supporting clubs of Nissan Trials )

In Tuff Touring suspension mods like change from leaf to coil are not allowed is this correct ?

Thanks & good luck
Shady

[turbo gu]

No major suspension mods.

lifts no probs but must retain oringinal style.

No alterations to mounting locations.

There wont be teams. All individual entries

[CanberraMav]

Good stuff getting the comp started again.

Pity the rules couldnt be brought in line with Willowglen. I wont be able to compete and I, like many others dont have the money to accommodate for each and every competition.

Hope it goes well

Shame about the rules
