So how is the track looking? Fast and free flowing with plenty overtaking areas?? And any idea on how long a single lap has ended up being??

[BEAR 80]

Mosko, the track is that tough that we broke the dozer last weekend.

Track should be finished in the next couple of weeks, and is going to be a cracker. Lots of open sections to stretch your legs, coupled with sections through the creeks.

Entries are open at http://www.wtc4x4.com.au" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

Bring it on.

G'Day Bear
Jason from Bilo here, does the entry fee for the driver and pit crew include camping fee's as well? Ozy

[troyten]

not sure if the flashing light is to be used in a breakdown situation or if its to be on all the time but in the out and back ralleys weve found a white dust light facing down and back was far more visable in the dust than a amber flashing light. just a thought, my 2 bobs worth
cheers
troy

[BEAR 80]

Ozy, the entry fee covers competitors camping. If you have ANY others coming with you as far as supporters, pit crew etc, they need to be paid for with your nom fees. We will be sending out arm bands for entry before the event, so if people in your crew don't have them, they will not be allowed in to camp or to the meal after.

Troy, great idea. I will talk to Dukesy and Davo about it.

Hope all the prep is going well as there is only 3 1/2 weeks to nominate left.

[bigoll]

how are things going gents all getting there i hope. is there going to be a run on the week end or do we have to wait?

[Mosko111]

Hey bigoll, bear putnup on the facebook page that anyone interested in heading out and helping them push thenoarts of the tracks with 4wds are more then welcome to head out, maybe give one of them a call to find out when??
Cheers Mosko

[BEAR 80]

Hey all, we are currently running short of noms for this event, to the point of us saying if we don't get a minimum of 15 entries, will can't afford to run this event.
We now have a dead line of Saturday lunch time to receive nom forms by. If your planning to nominate for this comp, please contact us, or get your forms from http://www.wtc4x4.com.au" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

With so many people telling us that the CQ area is screaming out for this type of event, it's more than a little disappointing to see the reaction to it.

If we don't get the support for these events, we simply will not hold them.

[perko88]

how many noms are you still chasing to make this go ahead?

[BEAR 80]

We need a minimum of 10 more at this stage all paid up and forms submitted.

[digsy]

How are you going with Noms so far bear number wise? Actual locked in noms? Just I suppose alot of people wait until very close to the event to nom?

Josh and I are really keen to come and check this event out! Gonna be great to see who can go the distance! Gonna be one grueling race at 8hours!

Are you guys doing any pre-running of the track for non-competitors to bed it in? Has this happened yet?

Can you explain spectator options for us please? And pricing?

Is "Hollywood" Bill entered yet in that crazy green monster? I reckon that could get very entertaining for 8hours!

[BEAR 80]

Hey Digsy, we have received quite a few late entries, & we will make the final dicision tomorrow.
I am coming down again this weekend to finish setting the track, or work on the round 3 track, whick ever it may be. All are welcome to come out and give as a hand to run the track in.

Qualifing will kick off at about 8.00am, with the main race starting at at about 11.00am. Spectators are more than welcome all day, entry will be $15 at this stage, with no camping available.

Be great to see all of you out there to support this event in your own back yard.

[digsy]

When you say this weekend do you mean tomorrow?
Or sunday?

I'd be keen to come and say hello and talk some smack with you Bear! I know your always good for a chat! LOL - even if the Cartel Crew is in bed at 8 you'll still talk on! He He

[BEAR 80]

To true mate. I am leaving Mackay at about 3.00am Saturday and we will be there Sat & Sun. I will be heading off at about lunch on Sun. Hope to see you there.

[Mosko111]

[bigoll]

[pootrollin]

[Mosko111]

Good to hear This event is going ahead, and it's good to see people coming out of the woodworks to nominate when it sounded as if there wasn't going to be enough entrants!!

Any idea on how long the tracks has ended up being?? And are the creek crossing bone dry?

[troyten]

[DOWIE]

great stuff fellas, starting to work on shorty this weekend and can't wait to get racing. any water crossings or should we put the dust masks in?
hey big ol , you racing on a team yet

[bigoll]

i will be there Dowie(just in front of u), reece came for a lap with me on saturday and i think i may have scared him it was only a little tree

[Mosko111]

So Bigoll do you like how the track is looking? And do you think there will be many places for people to overtake me??
And and parts in the track that really stick out as being extra exciting?

[DOWIE]

Ha Ha Ha Olly ! u only hope your in front of us and not behind suckin in our dust. Dosn't mater still trown in the dust masks just in case. Here team fergy going to have a bit more speed, onya fellas.

[BEAR 80]

Hey all, getting closer now. Just a reminder that all noms need to be in by Friday this week.
We have a D6 dozer heading back out to the track this coming weekend to finish cleaning up and to make the track wider in sections for passing.

Something that we have not made compusary equiptment, but if I were racing, would be a amber light on the rear of the vehicle so vehicles coming up from behind you have a better chance of seeing you in the dust. Just a thought.
If anyone else has any clever ideas, especially for the safety side of things, please post it up so others get a look at it too.

If anyone requires them, I can supply you safety triangles, neck braces, harnesses etc as well. Just let me know before hand & I can bring them with me.

[bigoll]

mosko the track is good! going to try out the drivers big time, as for passing u it will be like a good feed of curry ha ha! dowie the dust will be ok but look out for the trees!
