new comp 4x4 masters

[k3lst]

Thanks for the results, well done suzuki club!

My thoughts

A - Navi driving a course. I think this rule is a pain in the ass. Can we change this rule to 10 bonus points if the navi drives a sellected course? If not can we change the travel ramp to be used as course?
Im all for navi's driving, but theres risk of serious damage in every course on the hill, is it really worth risking someones pride and joy for??

B - Not sure why we cant use the travel ramp in the results, especially if you use a formula to work the results and take the wheel base into consideration??

C - Any official who is giving the que directions according to the timesheet, should have their own timesheet in hand at all times

One of the things I liked, is the comp is a little different to others we do. I would ask that it stays. The bonus idea has merits but would need to be a lot more than 10 points to allow strategy to come into play.

Does your vehicle have coil springs or drop shackles? Coils provide an advantage over leaf's - you only have to look at the number of vehicles that have been converted to coils or, look at how many vehicles there are competing in Tuff Truck to verify this. So by including the ramp in the scoring, it provides an additional advantage over the leaf sprung vehicles. We leafies are already at a disadvantage so introducing a special event to give coilies an extra advantage is a little unreasonable. Maybe just try to outdrive us instead.

The beer cans would be spares in case of a busted hose wouldn't they?

And at least he took the ocky strap + duct tape off and replaced them with tek screws. the only thing missing out of that photo is tie wire, i'm sure it's their somewhere.

I'm pretty sure i saw a new radiator turn up while i was in the pits welding up my front shaft, the boys have some good contacts.
