QLD ROPS Winch Truck Challenge (WTC) Round 1

[Mosko111]

Not to sure Gudge, I won't have a medical certificate like you.... But hey who'd have thought being a half retarted sloth would have been classed as a disability..?? But I guess the constant drooling and the speed you run a winch rope out should have been a dead give away??

[gudge]

I'm not the one compensating with 65% ratios on a winch. Sounds Like your 65% slower getting the rope to the top and u need to catch up. But I won't confuse you with all these big bad numbers, u just concentrate on passing those scafftubes

[pootrollin]

Get into it boys. The shit is starting to fly.

[Mosko111]

Shoosh phill, don't get me started on you....

[Mosko111]

Hey, hey... I may not be real smart but I can lift heavy things!!

And why don't you share your new winch ideas gudge? Looks like you'll be trying to go faster then 65?? So what you are saying is I'm faster then your navi? I'd have to be faster if we are working on the theory you just came up with!
OR is it you'll be having to make up for both a slow navi and your poor driving skills?? Just don't try and aqua plane and you should be right young fella ( low blow )

[gudge]

It's true, my skills are probably wasted as a driver. Pickles is much more suited to driving than he is running a winch cable and If we swap places for mackay we will need the winch to make up for both of us haha. But let's not forget this is about rnd 1. And as for the aquaplane. U can never have to much speed

[Shieldsy]

rumour has it theres a yellow cut 60 sporting new flash barwork, and a auto!!
cant wait!

[MEGATROL]

hey hey u pair keep me out of this just i cant run or swim, i will learn btwn now and easter, well thats if the shorty is ready in time otherwise ur getin back in the left hand seat gudge.

WOW

Great to see Teams from last year returning for a shot at the title and Sone well set up seasoned veterans who are new to the WTC series! Just goes to show how much of an awesome event you guys put on for both Competitors and spectators alike!!

what a blast great job WTC boys, and how about the field not a big gap between 10th and 1st hey the tracks have been stepped up a notch and so have the teams. I feel that it will come down to reliability of the cars to sort out the pointy end this year cos the 1st,2nd,3rd stage placings were shared by many who could stand on the podium at the end god to see another quality team come up from brisvagus to run with the boys from the bush well keep pushin them ey lads russ i hear bald tyres, cold engine, to much weight in the beer fridge you still pulled a good time, but mate i cant shut my navi up somthin about how well i gear changed for him

[bigoll]

well said troy what a top weeked, great tracks, they did step it up and it was great well done to all that competed, and helped out over the weekend

[Mosko111]

What an awesome weekend!

Great stages, great fellow competitors and a well behaved crowd! what more could anyone ask for!

Team Toygoata would like to thank:
# Qld cruisers for all the help with parts and spares
# Cq Diesel services for supplying two field service units and pit crew
# Crazy Eyes winch mods (the stages were tough but the winch loved it!)

And we cant wait to see whats install for us out Duringa!! Red dirt/ sand will be a great new terrain to test our skills!!

So cheers everyone for a great weekend, and once i figure out how to ill throw a few photo's up

[gudge]

What an awsome weekend! Pissed n broke's first wtc comp and loved every second of it.

Wow what a weekend!!

Can hardly walk but had a ball naving with mr shields thanks man. Another top event great bunch of guys and girls willing to help out if you needed it, even if they didnt know you. Best idea of the weekend, ben boulter marshalling, unlucky on missing out on the "loudest person of the weekend" award mate but talking quietly through the window net was a very cool change

Drivers and navis put to the test in every stage was excellent and even though I was nimble, had the speed and agility of a cat, with my shorts offering no restrictions, I will rate your bear grylls pants mosko for the prevention of sunburn and lantana scratches

Little bit of water proofing and some gps training hopfully i'll see you for round 2 with some new grudge matches settled

Keen for the toyota take over this year with some great teams and reliable vehicles should be very interesting. Keen keen keen

[dcasey]

awsome comp, bring on round 2, hopefully with less breakages ahah

Would like to thanks my sponsor Total offroad for their support

[Pauwolf]

............I will rate your bear grylls pants mosko for the prevention of sunburn and lantana scratches
