For the spectators the spare block across the road will be for car parking and there is lots of street parking


Travel Ramp Rules same as TT

Vehicles will be lined up in the competitor running order, and ready to be called forward for their turn on the ramp. If vehicle, driver and navigator are not in line on time, and do not have an exemption from the Competition/Liaison Managers , they will be given a 2 minute countdown. At the end of the 2 minute period, the competitor will be given a DNS for the stage if not present.
Prior to approaching the travel ramp, each competitor’s vehicle will be measured from the centre of the front hub to the centre of the rear hub. This will form the basis of the wheelbase measurement, and be used to calculate the RTI index once the distance travelled is measured. For this stage, the competitor’s vehicle must have suspension sitting at its lowest point to ensure the maximum possible wheelbase is measured. Tyre pressures in all wheels are to be a minimum of 7 PSI. Helmets are not required for this stage. Navigator does not need to start the stage within the vehicle.
Vehicles will be required to drive the front right hand wheel up the travel ramp, while ensuring that the other 3 wheels of the vehicle remain touching the ground at all times. Once one of these 3 wheels is no longer in contact with the ground, the driver will be required to reverse until a point where all 3 of the wheels are touching the ground. At this point, the distance travelled up the ramp will be measured in total millimeters to give an overall distance. This will be measured from the tip of the ramp to the centre of the front hub.
Competitors are allowed one attempt at the ramp only.
A 3 minute time limit will apply per competitor.

The RTI index is then calculated based on the following formula:
Distance travelled up ramp
————————– X 1,000 = RTI Index
Wheelbase of vehicle
The total RTI Index will be ranked from highest to lowest, with the highest index score being awarded points towards the overall event.

sorry going out to the park to compete in carnage canyon hopefully if its not totally flooded

[Troll00]

That's OK lots of others can now have a go and win $$$.

Just to make it clear your vehicle has to be street legal to be in the class, eg 2" spring lift, 2" body and tyre size set by manufature spec plus allowed persentage, if not you will go to the outlaw class.
If you have a Patrol/Crusier with 35's and a 6" lift you will be outlaw, but if it is 4" lift and 33's you would be OK

What class for a Rover with 1.5" lift and 35's?

[def90]

so what if i dont have a tyre placard on my rover damo? (being a private import)

that means that i can go in the street legal class as i only have a 2" and 35" streeters?

[simcoz]

I knew I would open a can of worms with this, it's based on what the car came with from the factory eg if it had 750's it would about 34-35's so you could be in your class, I am not going to be that strict on these rules, you're only playing for rubber chooks if you bring a Rover!!!

sam

[brooksy]

WTF !!

[Troll00]

Sorry to here this Sam we will send him off with Nottie at Sceanic Rim and My deepest condolences to you and your family for your loss.

Did he have Bipolar or depression we are lossing to many good people to mental health and lack a awareness for it. As a sufferer I did not know where to go or how to fix it until I found Beyond Blue this is why I am now running events to fundraise for them and to bring awareness to everyone.
You're not crazy just have something that can be treated just like a cold


RUOK is a simple ? you need to ask and help them to get help.

[Troll00]

We raised $320 for the day and Sam $100 will make it a total $420

Thanks Again

thx mate, we couldn't get him to see anyone about it, while we believe it wasn't a contributing factor in the crash, he was confused and needed help. at least he is peacefully resting now......
