So long as they are maximum size of 33inch they are fine.

Cheers

If they are 33s are they fine??

You could do these events (apart form the hillclimb perhaps) with A/T's.

Sweet thanks for that.

Im really looking forward to it now, I even have a set of 33s thanks to an extremely nice person on this forum.
Is there going to be entry forms at the gate??
Is there a sruiteneering??
Im driving down and back on my 35s and swapping after I get there.
How fast is the river flowing at the moment??
Thanks.

From my last few year's of going the competion does not go near the river, go page 2 photo thats the river, only time you go there is when they take you on a trek.

I was asking for swimming purposes. So how deep and fast is the river at the moment.
And Jess, are you going??

Aussie Blue - The little blue zook!

Nah Tony, not this year. Mark is working and I'm spending just about every weekend on the Wedding. Plus we have TTC a few weeks later.

There is a stage in the water this year!!

Just make sure you splash the people running the event

The river is flowing quite well

Yes. This is where you pay your $$'s and fill in all your details to enter. You'll then be given door/window numbers and wrist bands etc.

DUDELUX wrote:Is there a sruiteneering??

No. Just make sure your vehicle is safe, roadworthy and registered.

DUDELUX wrote:How fast is the river flowing at the moment??

Rather fast with the rain we've had! You'll get a decent bow wave happening when you compete in the new 'Just Add Water' event. Swimming wise the water is waist level in the deep sections but was still murky brown from the rain runoff. Hopefully it clears a bit by the weekend.

Thanks for the info GQ4B.
Is there any more info on the tracks that you can share with us, whats this new track got?? How deep is it??
Im starting to get excited.

All the tracks can be driven by factory standard vehicles. I can't give too much more away....you'll have to come and see for yourself!

Post by **DUDELUX** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 9:21 am

Mark, long time no speak. Are you taking the paj??
Reason being is borrowed 33inch swampers. I dont want to run the Swampers on road from Wyong to SOT and back.

Post by **bradboat** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 10:25 am

OOOOO that is keen - 33 inch swampers. Someone is taking SoT seriously.

There have also been a couple of questions about the tracks. All tracks are driveable by standard vehicles. One of the tracks (the Hill Climbs) will have an alternate track for the Traction Plus class.

Post by **vk2icj** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 1:09 pm

As said before the tracks are looking good for this year's SOT. I think there are a few twists in this years tracks that will challenge just about everyone, especially with the times we have placed on them. If you are sitting on the fence about this year's event well then tip off towards coming on down. You won't regret it.

Post by **albey** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 4:04 pm

Yeah mate i'm bringin the Paj

Post by **DUDELUX** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 4:06 pm

Goodo mate, itll be good to catch up.

Post by **DUDELUX** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 10:01 pm

See you all tomorrow, we are leaving hopefully before lunch time, to get down there mid arvo.
If you see me, come and say hello, you wont miss me, Ill probably be the only person changing to comp tyres.

Post by **bradboat** » Fri Feb 26, 2010 3:14 pm

Well folks I hope you are all packed and ready for a terrific weekend at Son of Trials. I am about to leave and I just had a call from the guys at the site and they tell me the weather is sensational.

Bring some swimmers for a swim in the river.

Bring a happy friendly attitude and compete for some great prizes and a fun weekend.

See you all there.

Cheers Brad

I did.. maybe not very well, but I did manage to get all 8 events done in the one day.. and get the GQ cleaned before walking in the door here at 7.55pm. Long day but a good one!

Gotta say.. the events were a tad harder this year compared to last. Tougher on the cars anyway. And I still hate that Rocky Horror track...
hated it last year and I hated it even more this year!

Ohhh... I did manage to say hello to Dudelux (and his missus) too.

Post by **albey** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 6:05 pm

Results???

...will apparently be posted on the Nissan Patrol Club website 'in a couple of weeks' ....

(Hate having to wait that long before finding out how I compared to everyone else... tho in comparison to last year's times I did a lot better this year)

We are back from SoT 2010 and everyone seemed to have a blast.

Thankyou to everyone who showed up and participated in SoT in the spirit in which it is intended. There were no drunken yobbos, and everyone was friednly and obviously enjoying themselves.

Great competition and fantastic participation.

Scores should be up pretty soon. We will be working to get them up within the next few days.

Thanks and Cheers
Brad

We got back not too long ago.
Firstly, A massive

to all from the patrol club for organising this event. I had a great time, even Mrs D had a good weekend.
Secondly, the weather was really good(apart from the storm we had today while I was trying to pack up everything), but saturdays weather was awesome, and alot of people found themselves at the river for a very refreshing swim.
Thirdly, the borrowed Swampers I used worked a treat on all the tracks, they loved the rocky stuff, the mud, the climbs, the loose stuff, the water, the sand, everything.
Fourthly, I went way too quick on most tracks, but, I was more keen on finishing every track, than getting a competitive time. I finished all 8 tracks, and with the times I have written down, I ended up with about 260points.
And lastly, Ive told Mrs D that Im planning on attending future SOTs.

Big thanks to the organizers for running this event.
Everyone seemed to have a good time.

Myself and Mrs D took over 100 pics over the weekend, they are currently uploading.

No camp fires was a bit of a disappointment, but other than that it was a good weekend! We had a good time.
