Just got home, had an AWESOME weekend and met some really great guys and gals. Huge thanks to Lynda and Aaron for giving me the opportunity to sit in as co driver. A big thanks to all the Melbourne crew, you guys ROCK!!!!!! You made me feel right at home. The tracks were awesome, all the girls were unreal and so were the guys. Entertainment at the pub on Saturday night was a highlight and the meal was pretty good too. It was great to meet all of you. Keep up the great work girls, you drove hard and it was a privelege to compete with you. Congratulations to Mel, Wayne, Mike and everyone else responsible for putting on the event, most enjoyable. Even the weather was great. Will post pics up soon.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for participating at the event and making it so much fun. Even the owner of the Clarkefield Pub rang to say what a great bunch you all were. He did mention that he took the phone off the hook for the last 1/2 hour as I believe the jukebox got a bit of a workout.

Thanks also for leaving the campground tidy. There wasn't much to do there except someone did leave an esky full of disappointingly EMPTY cans. Not much good to me.

At the moment the results can be found on http://www.offroader.com.au/
I would like to mention that Cory's navi was Daniel Mochan.

Editorials will be published in Australia 4WD Action and DirtComp magazines. Those of you who were fortunate enough to get a subscription, and if you haven't done so already, please post or fax to me your voucher. Mail: PO Box 540, Wallan, Vic 3756. Fax 03 9369 8753.

I would also like to especially congratulate the girls for giving it a real go on the weekend and we hope to see more female entries next year. For those who wanted to know Team Barbie would have been 7th overall.

We will be running the event same time next year - 1st weekend in May so put it in your diary.

We would like to also take this opportunity to thank our sponsors and we hope that you can support them any way you can as it because of them that we are able to run events:
