Yeah I've been trying to access the website, and having no luck either :(

I would like to contact someone regarding some things on my vehicle and making sure it meets all the safety requirements etc for Trophy class, and maybe even arrange a pre-event scrutenier if thats OK. I'm hoping to be a first time competitor in round 1 this year.
If anyone could help me or put me onto someone soon that would be most appreciated

Give me a call on 38233990

[big red]

Missed that issue, 145 now out...
Was the article about rd 2 or 3
Thanks

it was round three at Emu Creek

What's it look like out at the park at the moment?? Does it look like it is going to be canceled again?? Please let us know earlier this time like on Thursday Night at the latest would be good.

[green4x4]

well if you can get the weather gods to give us a accurate forecast thats garenteed, we could tell you, hows that sound?

[Willy Hilux]

No need to be funny about it. But you should no how wet it is out there by Thursday next week before everyone heads up there.

[mrw82]

of course the organisers are going to do their best to make the event go ahead, and in doing so it would have to be a last minute decision to call it off due to bad weather. unless they have a solid week of torrential rain out there they're just not going to know until last minute.


whats happenning with the tough tracks website? is there somewhere else I can get an entry form from?

[Willy Hilux]

[mrw82]

thanks for that

[Bruceh]

Well done on posting that up Willy Hilux
Just remember that this is an old form. The price is $60 for members and $90 for non members. Also if you are doing Mod class just add that in the vehicle class and circle it I guess.

[Bruceh]

Not looking good at all this week with all this rain.

[Willy Hilux]

Might put the 115hp Merc on the back for this round.

My Boss just come back from tamaworth and he said it been bucketing down on the way there whole weekend and on the way back...Not looking good..

[Bruceh]

Yep not looking good. I hope that Tough Tracks club can make a call sooner than last year. I know it's a hard call and I assume that Jan and Owen will have a say in it as well because they don't want the camp grounds all ripped up and we need to think of the safety side of things as well. I remember last year with round 1. The main camp ground was a mess. We all tried to be as careful as we could but it was still a boggy mess at the end.

It would be good to know by Thursday at the latest if it was going ahead or not.

[Ricko]

Gonna need some sunshine to dry this out... I hope we get it by Thursday at least. I wouldn't blame the organisers for cancelling. Wet weather really affects Janowen, makes a mess of the grounds and the tracks. Bring on the sunshine, not to mention club sponsors Swans Water Hire need some work!!

I reckon a set of oars would more suit the 40 in power stakes. A 115hp Merc would scare the old girl.

[Bruceh]

Hey Rick, Little Casper would only need a 15hp

Just make sure they are at least 2/3 covered by the guards. I'm not FRIGGIN CASPER
It's a big call to make by postponing the event and one that would probably cost the club money however most competitors and spectators would appreciate early notice. For the guys that take time off work, trailer cars up etc etc the cost is for a non event is hard to take. For the club I guess they rely on the food and raffle to recoup the costs involved. Regardless of numbers attending their cost would be similar, I would think they should put it off for a couple of weeks and get some decent weather to make it a sucessful weekend for all involved.

We await official word.

Would be awesome if a desicion could be made by thursday. We all made a mess of the place last year.

[SuperiorEngineering]

We have just finished some late nights bolting in the big block methanol injected inboard into Team DGR's lux, should be able to beat maybelines outboard now
Now i am worried the rains might stop.

Heard there may be a special jet boat stage in the gymkarna area that should suit you then

Hi all, I haven't been to a tuff tracks round in a few years so just need to know a couple of things for this weekend.

I will be up there with a few mates to watch the action, we want to come up on the friday afternoon and camp through to sunday - will we need to book?
Also is the costs for the weekend $25 for the 4bie and $7.50pp per night camping, I want to go play on the tracks through the weekend also.

Thanks for your help and hope to see you all up there if the weather fines up! the weather man reckons it will be sunny on friday

Thanks for the heads up mate.
Altho looking at the weather site there is ALOT of heavy rain there at the moment.

I think the location of Janowen, that one particular valley surrounded by big hills means they are either protected a bit or they cop heaps. If Jan is happy to go ahead I guess that would mean a very good chance of an event this weekend. Wait and hear back from the TT boys then.
