had a quik check on the rules and it doesnt really say not allowed....????
if we were to bring the bus which is caged the full length and had 4x harnesses and 4x windownets and 4x helmets could we run a truck with 4 people.?

yes its a serious question. A few of the boys have done the events before and we were thinking of doing 1 for fun ( like the winch challenge we did with a stock lowmount where you buried us in the mud at expo) .

I do have a piece of shit van at the park that i could tow...... not a bad idea actually .... now if i fit seats and harnesses in the van as well...????

trying to work out other plans to have a go at this event. would be heap of fun and theoretically 3 times quiker with 3 navvies...

we are not to serious but I may wear shoes for this event...!!!!!

[Mosko111]

Haha, it would be hilarious to get an inboard cam mounted in the wagon!!

I can just image the confusion and outcome when you get both a "left turn" and "right Turn" call at the same time from two different people haha
