[tacrocky]

Hi all , thanks to those teams that have got there medic forms to me . For those who have not please do so soon .

Thanks Brad

[BEAR 80]

Hey Brad, Davo is on holidays when he comes up here, he forgets how to work. Spends most of his time in the pub.

When I spoke to Davo a couple of weeks ago, he suggested we just our medic forms and hand them over at scrutineering, or would you prefer them earlier?

[tacrocky]

Hey Bear, Yes i would prefer to have them earlier to process Fax 0749211144. we are doing ID's and we want that info on the back of them , all saves time on the day. Hope the truck gets finished soon . I will be pushing the tracks through this week end, where davo wants to go (scarey) Just kidding !

Talk soon Brad

[BEAR 80]

No probs mate, will get them down next week.

[tacrocky]

Hi all just thought i would give you a report on progress from the week end , not mouch to report we put in two tracks and walk another two. We got a call over UHF while i was winching half way up the mountain to evacuate the park by the police. We had a lot of ash fulling on the park . As it turns out we had to help a mate prep for the fire anyway. We had 4 x 1000 ltr pod of water and a fire fiter pump ready . The speed the fire was traveling was unreal but it all turned out for the better in the end no damaged . I would like to thank all the firies that help you's are legend. A lot of hard work ahead of us over the next two week. Thanks for all the medic forms makes it easy for us. Please read your rules and we don't care if you watch the action but when you are called make sure u are ready and answer on the UHF , we will only call once. We need to keep it flowing. Make sure you have all compulsery equipment.

Brad

[gudge]

hi brad, was wondering if i would be able to get away with using a 35" tire as a spare while running 4 36's. just having trouble finding a 36 to use as a spare.

[tacrocky]

Hi all the countdown has started . Just a few reminders to save time on the day. Don't forget your third party , make sure you have your compulsary equipment.There is still a few medic forms out there please get them in . Make sure you bring hand held UHF for when you are out of the car you need to here control channel as you mybe called up for a stage. Yuo will receive a map before the comp on the park and where the stages are make sure you study the map if unsure about it ask one of the officals. Same as last year if you hear a the air horn you have 5 minutes to get to drivers breifing. (We will not wait for you ) No time !
Hopefully the fire leaves us alone so we can get some work done at the park.

PS Don't forget to fill out your parts list and have ready .

Hey all

Must just be about time for some spy pics?

I hear that Billy Geddes is hiring out his aeroplane at very competitive rates for any scouting mission that may be required and photos of some of the harder sections of the tracks are going for up to $100 an image to the top teams!!!

Also I hear that there is some secret weapons getting built including a hydrolic ram that push's vehicles up the hills driven by a D9 Hydro pump and also a set of Hummer Onthefly tire inflate system, digitally controlled so that you can run 22psi for the high speed and then dump to 4psi in 2.6 seconds for the hill climb and then reinflate without ever leaving the drivers seat!!!!
Impressive






















Look out for the Zilzie Mav's boys!

Hi all big weekend out at the park done a lot of clearing and put in 7 tracks, they are unreal should be a lot of fun even watching the teams get threw. Its not going to be easy but with good team work they will get threw easy. Very hard on my comp truck pushing the new tracks (lot on Lantanna . We had chain saws going and wiper snippers today but was realy hard going. We have also had to clear car parks and holding area's this was done by a little D2 and Bobcat. The park is very dry so if you see someone smoking make sure they put it out. All new track is goingh to make it interresting, brings everyone back on a fair playing feild. Please get out standing forms in by the end of the week.


Brad

Ps Need people to hang 5 ft shade cloth and barrier mesh . If you can help next week end give us a call.

What's this for Brad?

[tacrocky]

What's this for Brad?

Its a suprise ! No its to tie up any navy that dosn't do ther job correctly ?

[Joshie_C]

Is this some form of new hand winch... Think its for helping that navi that had one to many beers on sat night up the winch wall on sunday...

Heading over to team fridge tonight to drop off some window nets and check out the boys progress...

Bet you guys are glad there has been a little rain this week, should hopfully cut down on the dust and make it a little more enjoyable for people coming out to watch... And also help with the risk of fire, but good effort on being well prepared for that long before this rain... Suprised you didnt class the entire event as non smoking (expect for the bombed up desiel of course)

[Wilba]

I`ve been talking to loose nuts and bolts and you guessed it`s a triple handled ratchet strap!!! You should see this thing go!!!! It`s nuts ,or was that bolts? Good luck all and brad and the crew wish it didn`t clash with you know what.My word of advice is that Duke`se has got some nasty things in store for you lot so if it smells like peaches its probably not peaches.I`m not joking about the peaches either brad uses some wird chemicals at tint-a-car.Later Billy..
