Re: Scenic Rim Adventure Park 4WD Club/Forum Challenge 27th to 28th June 2009

Scenic Rim Adventure Park is holding the first round of the club challenges on the 27th June 2009. We are inviting all the clubs to come and participate in the event that will require team work and will be spectator friendly.

The challenger’s vehicles will be required to meet the following long list:

1. Standard Factory model can have all terrain or mud tyres with a 100 point penalty for a 2 inch lift.

2. Slightly modified vehicle. (Honesty will be required)
• Can have tyres to size 33inch
• 3 inch lift maximum
• 1 form of traction aid (locker,lsd)

3. The vehicle is whatever you want as long as it’s registered. A roll cage will be required for some bonus point sections.

4. Must carry a minimum
• 1 winch (hand or electric)
• 1 tree trunk protector
• 4 rated shackles
• 1 winch dampener
• 4 rated snatch traps
• 1 winch extension strap
• Recovery points must be on the front and back of the vehicles.

5. The limit on the vehicles is they can only enter in three monthly challenges. As there is six monthly challenges we can help provide vehicles for the clubs who would like to compete but can’t make up the numbers. There will be a small penalty for clubs who use the help vehicles. The penalty could be the vehicle that is going to help. For the larger clubs who have the numbers there can be two teams entered.

Points system - The points are simple and will be displayed on contestant board. Points will be awarded to the best club cheerleading group supporting their team. Best dressed club will also be awarded points.

Special note - As this is a fun event, all drivers must be comfortable with driving the various tracks. There is no pressure to drive the tracks if the driver feels they don’t have the skill or feel their vehicle might experience damage that they are not willing to accept. If a vehicle pulls out for any reason there will be a minor penalty. The remaining vehicles that continue from that point will only be awarded with 2/3rds of the points they achieve from the section the vehicle pulls out.

Subbie rule - Should a vehicle retire hurt or a vehicle decides to pull out, a vehicle of similar requirements can be nominated by the club to finalise the events. If the subbie vehicle drives the two driving events, the vehicle is counted and can only enter and participate in the challenge two or more times.







Scenic Rim Adventure Park 4WD Club Challenge format will be as follows:

Saturday

8am start
• Camp Breakfast BYO
• Challenger Briefing

Event 1- Start 9:30am
• Vehicle relay. This will vary for each monthly competition. Hand eye co-ordination is the key for the 1st month

Event 2- Start 10:30am
• 3 tracks open with 30min intervals for team starts. Track numbers will be drawn out of a hat. This is a Driving Challenge where all 3 vehicles must navigate a track and use their collective brain power to answer some general questions. 2 question points on the track will reveal answers immediately after the teams answer. If you answer correctly you get the option of driving the tough track for a bonus point. If you answer wrong the tough track must be driven by one vehicle to eliminate the penalty points. This event may require recovery. Correct recovery techniques will have to be used.

12.30pm - Lunch

Event 3- Start 1:30pm
• All teams lunch run off. Shoes would be advised. This event will finish at 2:15pm even if the team hasn’t completed the course. Nominated vehicles will be required for this event and must seat at least 3 in belts. The more seats with belts the better off you’ll be.

Event 4- Start 2:30pm
• Driving skill challenge with a standard vehicle – navigation required. Recovery knowledge required. Driving skill challenge with the slightly modified vehicle – navigation required. Actual recovery may be needed. The above 2 vehicles will work together and will leave the main area to collect the required items. Each item gets a number of points. Driving skill challenge with whatever vehicle. Recovery may be needed as the track is extreme. Roll cage will be required for the bonus lines. This will be done close to the main area and will be lined with multiplying numbers ie x2,x3,x4. These multipliers will be used with the points accumulated by the other 2 team vehicles. A winch on the front of the vehicle may help you get through the track. A fellow club member can help set up the winch if required. There will be a penalty for winching. There is no time limit but if the wheels stop turning for more than 3 minutes or if winching is called you get 7mins (only 1 winch call is allowed) I’m sure we’ll have plenty of time keepers with fellow spectators and competitors.

5pm - Finish for Saturday

Sunday

Event 1 – 9.00am
• As this is the 1st event of the Sunday challenge, the make a club track will be decided by the order the clubs enter into the challenge. 1st club to commit and enter their 3 vehicles with payment gets 1st choice of the selected areas in the park to build their club track. Fellow club members can help as this has no points attached as it’s the club track and judging will be done at the end of the final challenge.
Rules for the Club Track
• No one other than club members can drive this track as it will be blocked off until the final event which will be judged by a specialist in the 4WD industry.
• This track will need to be driven by the standard vehicle but will also have to challenge the open class vehicles.
• Chicken tracks can be used and will be classed as the same track.
• Some track area will be large and others will be small.
• If a structure is used on the track it must be certified by an engineer. Please contact Brenden if your club is planning something along the structure line for clarification.

The driver and navigator from each club entered into the challenge will be able to camp free of charge on Friday night and Saturday night. The driving cost for the vehicles in the challenge will be $35 for the weekend.

Standard park fees apply to everyone else driving and camping.

For spectators who want to only watch for the day. There will be spectator parking and the cost will be:
• $5.00 per adult
• $2 per child (aged 5-17)
• Free, children under 5

good on you to put up another event
i hope it will work out and you get the numbers you need to make it a succes

[HeathGQ]

sounds awesome, but as already mentioned, the people who will be prepared to enter an event will be in the group 3.... I'm in group 3 - GQ wagon, 4" lift on 33's unlocked.

[hilux79]

Are their any plans for an entry-level comp / challenge for people who are not club members in the future.

[harrisbm]

The registered car with no spec will fall under group 3 as GQ mentioned

We will be looking at running a forum event on the Sunday of the event day for clubs.
We have to finalise the rules. You will have to enter under a forum and we have to ask the forum owners for permission.
There will also be points awarded for forum members who join a 4wd club.
The forum event will be a 6 round day night/day series and will require a helmet.
Roll cages will be required for bonus lines and the car must be able to recover it's self or have a budy car.

We are hoping to have this event bring the 4wd community together and to have a bit of fun at the same time.

There is still some planning for this forum event and I will post more details when they are finalised. The first event will be next month.

If you are interested please register your interest by pm or from our web site contact page.

Get rid of the roll cage rule and make it roll over protection ie decent roll bars on ute trays and cargo barriers for wagons and you'll get more people.

[hilux79]

He does say it is only needed for bonus lines.

[harrisbm]

The tracks are finished.
The club challenge is still as documented on the web site with the below addition being made.

There is a viewing hill that keeps the spectators high, looking down on the competing cars.

We have now opened the event to the forums due to a number of requests.

There will be an outlaw class that will need to comply with rules. The vehicles that compete in all the events like Tough Tracks, Challenger series, Tough trucks and others are welcome to come. This is an event to showcase the 4wd vehicle and try to get the general public to attend.
This is the first round of 6.

We are trying to develop a different type of competition that will cater for a range of different spectators and the general public.

We have opened up the Outlaw event to 20 vehicles. The rules will be similar to Tough Tracks with no limit to tyre sizes, suspension, steering, axles and chassis.

There will be multiple tracks running at the same time so the event is spectator freindly.

If the forum groups want to enter with a 3 car team that is fine.

For nomination forms please go to the web site.

If anyone is interested in becomming a marshal please PM me.

It's late notice but the lunch time showcase bike jumping is unable to go ahead due to insurance. We would like to showcase 3-4 winch challenge trucks on some steep climbs that have been created. 3 can be driven I would think and 6 climbs will need to be winched.

If you are interested please PM me.

Will talk to a couple of guys and see if we can get a team going.

Sounds like a bunch of fun.

[oozuk]

will all the classes be running on the same tracks , or do the cars in std class get easier tracks ?

would be fun to take the wife's pajero for a run, as long as it doesn't get trashed

[harrisbm]

The tracks are graded for the type of class vehicle. The tracks do run side by side so spectactors can see the whole thing. So yes STD cars get easier tracks

[harrisbm]

Please be advised that for the bonus lines and the Outlaw class. competitors must have helmets and have window nets. Navies are to have stack hat or equivelant in the Outlaw class.

[killalux]

So is this for 4wd clubs only? Or can we just get a group of vehicles together?

Also with the rollcage, All our vehicles would compete in group 3, Can we still compete but just have to skip the bonus lines? We all have rollover protection of some description (ute rollbars, etc)

Thanks
Steve

[harrisbm]
