[Mosko111]

Megatrol is pikles phil, and Gudge is Gudge if that makes any sense to you?

Also when the heck is the Exciting news being released?? I've been chewing on my nails with anticipation for the last 3 days now!!

[Ruff Konduct]

Team Zook can't get there due to work rosters.
Toddy can't make it either from what I've heard.

... we could be tempted with half price nom fees

[DOWIE]

Just wondering if the new Event flyers have been done up with the new sponsor??

If you would like to send some down to glady, a few of the guys will distribute them around town to get as many glady folk out there watching and cheering as possible!!

[WTC]

Hey Mosko, can, or anyone else that want's them send an email to brent@wtc4x4.com.au, brad@wtc4x4.com.au or ian@wtc4x4.com.au and we will get them out.

Sorry for the delay with these but we have had a couple of late sponsors come on board.

Just like to say a big thanks to Dowie at Lister Motors for helping us out will getting a slasher for the weekend as well.

[MEGATROL]

Pickels

[Mosko111]

Probably won't start hey, hasn't been touched since a few weeks before Chrissy..... Sucks when I've only been home for 4 days in the last six and a half weeks,

How's everyone else coming along? I've heard of a few teams franticaly putting engines and diffs and building roll cages and fuel tanks and all types of stuff over the weekend!!! Man it's good to be a navi in a team where the car lives on an island!! means I never get a chance to help do anything

Thats because Goat doesnt have any manuals for you.

[Mosko111]

7 days to go ladies and gents
Is there an updated competitors list at all guys? Maybe with driver/ navi names aswell??

Sorry for pestering, you guys are all probably busy bees thinking up the evil tracks we are going to have to try an conquer BUT would be good to know who's who! (and I'm
bored at work and have nothing better to do....)

[WTC]

Hey guys and girls, If anyone is interested in giving us a hand to clear lantana and bunt stages this weekend then by all means come along. We stop for lunch at the Raglan tavern and the creek is good for swimming.

Brush cutters and chainsaws welcome. This is a working weekend though guys so no driving apart from over lantana lol.

We will be on UHF Ch 9. The gate under the power lines for spectator entry will be used.

Cheers

[bigoll]

The old girl is all but ready for another flogen yet again lookin forward to a good weekend see u all at Raglen Friday for a beer.

[pootrollin]

The wait for the next week is going to be slow. Busting to get into it. 7 sleeps to go but im not counting.

[pootrollin]

Forgot to ask but never been to a comp at Raglan. Any directions on how to get there??

[QLDCRUISER]

Getting very excited to lose my V plates as a competitor next weekend . I have been worried about a fitness program I should have been doing to prepare for all the running, but all I have heard is from said plumber/competitor is wake up go to work come home drink beer? If this is the case then im fit as a fiddle. Also good to see a field of toyotas for a change, should be great fun, on and off the track like back at our camp with some other competition happening?

If anyone needs toyota spares ring me with a list instead of ten times a day with parts you forgot , and i'll bring them down

Cant wait
Cheers

How did the Lantana clearing go this weekend guys?? hopefully a few helping hands turned up to make it easier on everyone!!

[Mosko111]

Just saw the Promo ad on TV good work guys

With tv/ Gladstone observer coverage on sat just gone, and flyers everywhere in town, hopefully crowd numbers will be double the amount of last year!

[WTC]

Lantana clearing was hectic and bloody hot lol. The tracks are looking awesome. Very spectator friendly again with 80% of the stages in the main creek area. The water level is slightly lower than last year but still enough to make it interesting.

We have some tough winching planned and there are some nice long runs as well.

Please remember all your compulsory gear and definatly bring lots of water.

Navi's you are in for some hard, hard work!

Cheers WTC

[pootrollin]

Directions on how to get to Raglan would be good.

[WTC]

Map attached.

[LSG948]

Sorry Phil. Fire creek road is about 2km south of the Raglan pub. We will put signs out on the road telling you were to turn. Once you turn off it's about 2km of dirt road. You can't miss the property.

Cheers

To easy, just have to get past the pub.

[Mosko111]

Its before the pub heading up from our way Phil! so that cant be your excuse for you didnt turn up.....

[gudge]

What's gunna be your excuse Jimmy?

[pootrollin]

I might miss the turn because the big Tranny will have a head off steam and my want to cool down a bit at the pub. Maybe a counter lunch before setting up camp. Me not turn up. Only have to put the front control arm back on and she can go on the trailer. Might even head up tomorrow.
