King of the Rim 26 & 27 November 2010 $6500 cash prize pool

[harrisbm]

Offroad Boss King of the Rim with a $6500 Prize Pool run in "The OFFROAD BOSS Arena".
The King of the Rim will be run again with all new tracks. We have listened to the advice of those competitors and will have an event with just as much competitor driving as the first time. There will be a pit lane and sections of the park will be open for social driving.

Offroad Boss will be transforming the best creek run Cals Creek and Crampy's Climb. There will be a spectator track built with specialist viewing platforms. Recovery lane for excavator. 240v lighting along the whole track.

The Offroad Boss arena will also be opening the lower section of Cal's creek (meeting the lower creek) that has not been viewed by anyone. This section will form part of the long track.

This event will be spectator friendly with 80% of the tracks in view for the spectators.

Competition Areas
Competitor entry is $300 including navigator (Competitors will be camping in Pit Lane)
Spectator/Camping per day is $10

Normal park entry fees applys to the open areas of the Scenic rim Adventure Park.

The changes to the event is a 10 track 10 car hooter start featuring hill climbs, rock climbs and speed tracks. The Offroad Boss Arena will provide spectators with the ultimate viewing spot as they see cars below them drive as fast as they can through some man made obsticles aswell as natural formed terrain.
The long track will be GPS tracked with markers to avoid the issues faced with the last event. The 10 tracks will have DNF times of around 10-20mins
The long tracks have no DNF times.
The extreme mod/winch cars will require a winch or DNF is likely on at least 2 tracks.
All Competitors must register online at the scenic rim adventure website.

The night track will have lights with around 800m-1km of track being lighted for spectator enjoyment.

This event is on Friday and Saturday. There will be competition tracks driven on Friday afternoon and Friday night so spectators will want to get in early to ensure the best camping spot. Some camping spots will allow the spectators to sit out under their awnings and view the action. These are premium sites and must be booked prior to the event. Price for these sites will be on booking request and full payment is required to secure the camp site.
