[Angry_Cat]

Heard Mick magher's navy was air lifted to Sydney hospital. Rubber hose that went through the cab under his seat to back radiator burst and burnt him very badly. Hope he's ok.

[Black Bull]

Thanks to everyone for another great year.
Especially to Rudi and Steve of course for organizing it

I've got photo's of most peoples trucks, PM me your email addy and which truck was yours and I'll send em on

Here's a few random ones

yeah thats true, not sure about the air lifting bit though. Scrutineers weren't happy about the hose running through the cab, apparently a bit of a s#!t fight about it but were allowed to race, then it burst, well thats what i heard anyway

[Dunaruna]

2 people airlifted out from Cobar township (not from event site), both recovering o/k.

[Black Bull]

Sparksy is ok, and as far as I know is out of hospital today or yesterday.

Stupid thing to use (rubber hose) when it's exposed near a person in the cab. Apparently it wore out rubbing against a bolt or something like that.

And the scary part about it, was it could of been my hubby Wazza as the Navy! He was asked numerous times to navy and the only thing that stopped him was Waz was asked to Pit Crew for ARB Bendigo first.

Glad the other guy is ok. Apparently it was't a good sight when it happened :(

[Angry_Cat]

Starting to put up some footage now.

Here's a link to the 1st one on you tube. Enjoy!

Looks like chipper got the launch shot.

[BigrigCQ]

Cograts to all compeitors!

BIg one goes to russell and david, great job considering what a rush you's had to get the car ready!

Hopefully the ROCKY boys will be # 1 next year.

When can we place an order for the next dvd!

[Black Bull]

Looks like chipper got the launch shot.

That was fantastic. right from the start Rob said he'd drive it

Anybody get a pic of the GMC going up it after the stage finished ?

I'd left to clean up another stage by then

[Danno Rowdy Racing]

That was an waesome Time Wanna Thank anyone who had anything to do with Organising it.Especially the owners Paul and his Family(Great People)
Me and Stevo will be back bigger and better at the next one with hopefully a wicked car that gets us through it all.If I have anything to do with it, it will get us there LOL.Anyhow Cheers also to anyone who helped me get through my first Challenge (Your all awesome People I can't thank you enough)

[Black Bull]

Cleaned out that fuel tank yet ?

[Unidriveshafts]

Someone must have a video of Rob driving the wall???

[Mosko111]

Yep, the bloke in the right hand side of the photo is holding a video camera by then looks of it, but a video from behind the vehicle would show how great of a drive it really was!

[Black Bull]

The Guy in the Vest (Dave) is from MudRhino, and I think there was another guy behind Rob. the whole crew knew Rob was going to drive it, so they most probably all got it on film.

I've seen some of their footage, the DVD is gunna be Awsome

[Danno Rowdy Racing]

Cleaned out that fuel tank yet ?

Going in the Garage today or Tomoz to clean a lot more than that crappy tank.Hopefully one Clean and reliable Car next time.
Any word on where and when we get this years Vid.

[NavRun]

will post it on this forum when dvd is available.... usually in about 8-9 weeks time.... usually.

[WINCHN]

Thanks for a great week guys!!

Does anyone have any photo's of Car 50?? Please send across!!!

It was the white GU diesel ute that looked newish!

[Black Bull]

Awesome Black Bull Cheers for pics.
"All the best to Dan from all of us from Rowdy Hope you make a full recovery."

[mickyd555]

Thats horrible news for Dan, It was pretty horrible hearing Mick then Phill on the radio and then knowing that we were over 2.5Km away and could do nothing.

I hope he makes a full recovery.

Awesome event! Thanks to Hobzee,Rudi all the marshalls,volunteers{st Johns ambulance}, property owner,spectators and all competitors for a very organised and well run event.

The event format and stages were excellent with more of an offroad racing feel and a SH!!!t load of time behind the wheel.

The only problem is we need 2 of these events a year one in the warmer months cmon Hobzee [closer to QLD].

Will and Bowie we"ll see you on the drag strip next year with another 10lb and the right ratios I think the twin turbo sooty will be on the money.

Thanks all.

[MissGU]

Thanx to Hobsy & Rudi for a Fantastic event!!!! and not forgetting the marshalls & volunteers, property owners & anyone else we have forgotten!

This was our very 1st Cliffhanger & can tell you that we will be back next year will bells on! I dont think i have ever driven so hard fast & for so long in Barbie.. Boy it was a great feeling to be behind the wheel for so long!

I almost forgot a thanx to the compeditors & to the QLD boys that helped us out in our times of need!

Cheers
Lynda & Aaron
Car #61 Team Barbie.

[digsy]

Congrats to all the competitors!

But I must add a big hand to Russ and Kingy!!
Unreal for a rig that he really does put a rooftop tent on and go touring!!
It's a credit to his Offroad ingenuity and fab skills!

This is an event that I'd love to go watch but am desperate to compete in!!
Awesome work from the organizers!! Congrats!

[Dunaruna]

Polaris class maybe?
