looks like the general idea is if u cant drive it, shut up and let the ones that are willing to have a go do it and give them support


It's all good now. Man love hugs all round

So what happens if Carol sees the footage of you driving stuff that you said you wouldn't???

Will i have to cut a special edition edit of the video just for your missus?

Have you learnt to not leave outers signed in so that she can't see your posts and what you're planning to get up to yet?

A question to the organisers - is the best dressed team points, is that for the dress of the driver's and navi's or is that for the support crew? Because i've got some ideas for dress codes for the day

Nah, i dont care if she sees it, she will see the damage anyway, might as well get credit for how i did it

she is ok, u know ur sister dosent understand all of what is said here anyway, also she uses a different program for the net so all good

[rockcrawler31]

Just tell her it's a driver training day, as required by OH&S at work. Safety issue and all that.

dont know if she will go for that, she is pretty smart........ ill just do it anyway.

those rocks look like they will be fun in yr car milo, my car will be destroyed if i try that, no hope in hell

[rockcrawler31]

she is pretty smart........

EH??!!! she married you though, how smart can she be?

I think you'll be quietly surprised what your car can do now that you have the travel and lift sorted. 3" is a good height, not too high, and you've now got plenty of travel to match the lockers. All you need now is fluffy dice.

Man, we gotta stop hijacking threads

[AngryElmo]

sorry for that again

[AngryElmo]

Ahh grasshopper, the only person you are competing against is yourself.

I'm keen to see a list too, preferably roughly broken down into classes.

How much is it for a two wheel drive vehicle to come and spectate? and how is access for a road car?

Matt who works here at Suspension Stuff reckons his Patrol will beat the Jeep. We will Nav for each other which will be interesting.

Pootrollin was worried the Grand Cherokee would show him up so he pulled out of the Challenge.

Yea right Shane. Your Jeep is a bit higher than your flex ramp. I need something like that to see how much flex i can get out of the 80 now. I hear Brendan is looking for a new obstacle at Scenic. You should offer him the Jeep after Matt drives over it. Let us know how you go in the Logan challenge.

[Dee]

1 snatch strap and 2 rated shackles. Winch is not required as I can lend a hand winch The standard recoveries are easy and haven't needed to be winched out yet.

Alright, well thats easy.
if everything goes to plan i should be there witth the zook.

yay another zook.

The number of cars will change depending on the amount of cars damaged this weekend.
We average around 16-20 cars and hope for around 5 cars in each class. The standard class has 7 confirmed
The modified class has 5 confirmed
The outlaw and highly modified has 5 confirmed with 4 driving if their cars survive this weekends comp.
This is the best field so far as usually we only have 6-7 confirmed before the weekend.
The interesting thing is it's Toyota's, Landy, Suzzi's and a Jeep in the harder 3 classes. Nissans where are you all.

AngyElmo what do you drive?

The best thing everyone needs to remember is this is a challenge in nature. The first and most important rule is all spectators and drivers have fun.

We have a number of challengers who have only just taken up the 4wding sport so I would like to see the more experienced driver talking to them like last months challenge. This is what has made this event a success. I continually have positive comments about the social feel.

I have also been asked by a man and his partner if they can join a group for camping on the Saturday night. He will be competing in the highly mod section. If you don't mind them joining please let me know and yes they are normal people.

I will be marking the tracks tomorrow with my blue car.

I have a 80 series cruiser, 3" lift 33" tyres and f&r lockers, but am thinking about disableing my front locker so i can run in the slighly modified class, just dont know if i want to push my car against the highly mod. class, but yeah, yet to make a decision on that yet, depends what class needs more numbers i guess

[Mr DJ]

If the parts turn up that I need, will be giving my first comp a go with my lil Surf

6" lift
35" ET's
F&R air locked

Does this put me in modified ??

[Fmx_Aus]

Shane

Hope Matt doesn't get used to that drivers seat, He should have no worries though in that navi seat, other than having to be in a jeep
I'll think Matt will take it easy on the Jeep. The less he breaks, the less to fix. .
Have a good weekend boys.

They cracked the steering box this morning in the Logan Challenge. Shane phoned us and he was on his way to Brissy to get another on. Worst thing about driving a jeep, not many spare parts at a comp.

so it was a steering BOX
i spoke to andrew and he said it was a drag link that broke.
cant expect much. it is only a mall cruiser with bar work and a lift kit

[Micka]

Was out at Scenic today and Brendan has had the excavator working overtime putting in heaps of rock through the main creek run. Some of the comp lines should be very interesting.

[AngryElmo]

damn it........

[AngryElmo]

so can we please get clarification on what the classes are, the web site isnt to clear on highly modified class and that, just wondering if i can get it down so i know. thanks

[harrisbm]

You will be in the slightly mod class.

[dck7aok]
