FNQ Offroad Challenge - 11-13 June 2011

Post by Ruff Konduct »

I can announce that nominations for the FNQ Offroad Challenge will be open on Monday 31 January until 1 April.

Our website is now updated with the latest rules and regulations and entry form. http://www.ruffkonduct4x4.com/compinfo.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The property is located about 10 minutes out of Mareeba (which is about an hour south of Cairns) with some awesome tracks, plenty of camping area and very spectator friendly. Directions will be provided straight away to those registered, and to the public closer to the event.

Book 11-13 June in your diaries and get your nominations in. It will be first in, first served. We are running two classes; weekend warrior and modified - further details in the rules and regs.

We have offered to give a discount of half price nomination fees to those that live more than 400km away from Cairns, which is indicated on the registration form.

The club is under new management and hoping to give the southern Qld'ers a run for their money - we've got some tough competition from Cairns!

Hey guys.
We really would have loved to come up and support a FNQ event!
Unfortunately the dates clash with the Finke Dezert Race, and we are already committed to that event.

I hope it goes well for you and we'll be keeping an eye out for action photos and a full report!
Cheers

Here are some photos of a recent trip to the property to mark out the stages:

And here are some pics of the terrain. It's hard to get depth in photos, so just know they are big ditches and good winch hills!

Plenty of flat camping spots (we'll clear the grass first of course)

The comp will be similar to the MOC comp.If we get alot more bigger rigs up then we will make the tracks more difficult or possiby have another class. The property has plenty of variation and the owner is more than keen to start holding if more often. Maybe even a series or a round of WTC.

Have had many complaints about the Weekend Warrior rules, so we've made some changes and they are now open to one locker (can be either front or rear) and max 35" tyres. (previously no locker and 33s).

The 80 won't make it this year unfortunately due to an event we have been asked to run in Rocky now as well as my navi's wedding around the same time.

Really hope this goes well as we want to be there next year. Good luck with it all, and let me know if there is any more I can do to help.
