hey bear, just wondering if you have a rought eta for the video, id like to purchase a copy when they are up for sale

Post by **BEAR 80** » Thu May 07, 2009 10:01 pm

I am hoping to have the final draft done by the end of next week. Didn't realise how much work is in making one of these things. I want it ti be as good as I can make it, so I will say a couple of weeks.

I will post it on here when it's done. Because we are making it, doing extra copies will be no problem, so no one will miss out.

To those that have ordered shirts, they should be here next week as well.

Post by **zookprojectfnq** » Fri May 08, 2009 7:12 pm

Are those shirts still available Bear?

Post by **BEAR 80** » Fri May 08, 2009 9:12 pm

Hey Zook, I have already put the order in for extra shirts, but I do have a couple of XL's and a 3XL left.

Post by **digsy** » Sat May 09, 2009 7:07 am

Hey all.
Got these off of Brent.
Check it out...

Hope they all work ok.

mad pics love the one of my patrol

Post by **zookprojectfnq** » Sat May 09, 2009 6:51 pm

I love the one off the gold LS1 patrol beating you even though you were running NOS

Post by **tufenuf** » Sat May 09, 2009 9:40 pm

ha ha good on ya champ. we both one 3 each, and yea i would expect a new ls1 to beat a 250000k old 304 out of a vn, my motor is dead stock and like 15 years old, just a little bit of gas to bring it back to life, maybe you watched bit to much fast and furious just cause its got gas doesnt mean its 600hp

it was a fun race but at the end of the day only one person came home with the first place trophy,
my new motoris about to be put in which should give him a bit of a hurry up, cant wait to do it again next week

Post by **BEAR 80** » Mon May 11, 2009 5:57 pm

Now now lads.
The racing next year promises to be closer, with runs that WILL sort out who can drive.
Next year we are looking to hold it at Easter again, how did it suit people this year? Is it a good time of year to hold it?
I thought it would be good to do it at that time of year again so that people can travel without taking lots of time off work.

very very tru... way too much fast fours mag for boy... gas doesn mean shit!!

Hey all, I am still going with the DVD. Taking longer than expected. I will let you all know here when it is done, hopefully in the next week or so.

On the topic of NOS, if it doesn't do much, why both with it? I know bugger all about NOS, and petrol motors as you can tell, but am going to have a crash course as I am bolting a 5lt into my 80 Series in the next month or so.

Post by **tufenuf** » Sat May 23, 2009 5:02 pm

nos is good but its only there when the switch is on, what i was saying is my motor is a 15year old vn junker up against a 2 or 3 year old fully roller ls1, poeple watch fast and furious and now think as soon as anyone has a gas bottle on their car its 600hp,

its the cheapst horsepower you can get, at the moment i have a full roller 355 stroker with a direct port 150hp-400hp nos system going in, so that should give them something to winge about

Post by **BEAR 80** » Sat May 23, 2009 9:23 pm

Kent, as the organiser, I would just like to know straight, did yoy use NOS in any of the events? In can't do anything about it, I just want to know.

Post by **btc75** » Sat May 23, 2009 10:31 pm

Hey Kent .. Unless you gunna race yourself as far as I'm aware just about every competition is banning the use of NOS after Jacko's accident in Cliffhanger... Best putting your NOS money towards entries and travel costs...

Post by **tufenuf** » Sun May 24, 2009 9:59 am

i used nos in the grudge runs against the sand coloured patrol, after i did my 3 runs, didnt use it in any of my races,
they cant blame the nos for his accident, if the exhaust exited in a safe place it never would have happened, even if the fuel solanoid did stick on it's not the fault of the nos, a injector could stick open on any one. but as loog as the exhaust exits at the back it should be fine, my new motor is getting more gas than the hindenburg

Post by **BEAR 80** » Sun Jun 21, 2009 9:21 pm

Hey all, it's finally done. The DVD is now done from the 09 comp. Copies can be obtained from Opposite Lock Mackay for $25.

Post by **Mosko111** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 7:55 am

hey mate, how do i go about ordering a copy to be sent down to gladstone? wojuld you accept a direct deposit,

Post by **BEAR 80** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 8:43 pm

Hey Mosko, you can direct debit or I can take credit card.

Post by **BEAR 80** » Thu Jul 09, 2009 9:25 pm

Hey all, looking at starting a comp series in NQ. Thoughts at the moment are to run 3 smaller comps during the year and having the final at Easter as we did this year. For the series events, at this stage I am looking at 1 class to start with. The final at Easter may or may not include a stock class, depending on the number of people that want to race.
We will probably look at starting a club for these events as if all goes to plan, we will be able to get insurance easier and cheaper. All that want to compete will need to be members of the club.

What are your thoughts?

Post by **Breezy** » Thu Jul 09, 2009 9:33 pm

I'm there Brent count me in sounds like a top idea.

Post by **swb_ute** » Thu Oct 22, 2009 1:56 pm

any news for the event next year??

Post by **BEAR 80** » Sun Oct 25, 2009 12:50 am

Not as yet, but it will happen. After the Rocky event in a couple of weeks, we will have time to nut out dates and venues for 2010. The Mackay Offroad Challenge is set down for April 2-5 next year, which is Easter again.

Post by **BEAR 80** » Fri Nov 13, 2009 7:43 pm

Hey all, just an update.
At this stage, I have had 2 people tell me that they might run stock class next year, so at this point, it will not be running unless I get a lot of support for it before xmas.

Things that will change in the rules for next year will be all competitors will need window nets & 10lt of water. I strongely urge all to be equipt with a winch, you will need it.

I don't want discurage anyone from taking part in this event, so to make the playing feild as even as possible, surtain items on vehicles will attract one of penilties. This that will be targeted will be tyre sizes, winches, lockers, just to name a few. This should make it so that even people without all the big comp style mods still have a good chance at winning.

All tracks next year will be timed.

Please be under no miss conseption, next year WILL be tougher than this year was as far as more technical tracks, and more stages.
