ROPS Winch Truck Challenge Round 2 May 21-22

Post by WTC »

Hey all, Time is quickly approaching Round 2 of the ROPS WTC series on May 21-22.

Round 2 will be at a brand new venue this year approx 10kms on the eastern side of Duringa on the Capricorn Highway. GPS co-ordinates and directions will be posted in the coming weeks.

The property is around 5000ac with a good central creek and lots of walls and big boulders. We should be able to get some good GPS runs in as well.

The camping area's for Spectators and Competitors will be on nice flat ground in close proximity to the competition site. Toilets will be provided but BYO showers and water.

As with all properties in the CQ region, weed control is of paramount importance so we will be asking all vehicles to be dirt and mud free before entering the property. Competition vehicles will be inspected before they leave your trailer.

We will be going out to the property to start planning the event area and camping area in the coming weeks and will update as more details are finalised.

Cheers WTC

Awesome stuff guys!! :armsup:

Can't wait to get out there!

And just to let you know incase you didn't know, there is a council provided washdown bay for declared noxious weeds control in Duringa! So anyone who doesn't pass the inspection may have to tow there vehicles into town and do a better job there?

Yes we were aware of the washdown facility at Duringa itself. Do you know what times it is actually open Mosko?

Noms open on Monday the 11th of April. See our website http://www.wtc4x4.com.au" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for account details.

Not to sure what hours, I dare say it would be 24hour access, there's a council washdown area in Gladstone and you buy a 2 dollar token for 15 minutes of hose time, so this may be the case in duringa, the servo would be the best place to contact either way.

Has been raining out blackwater at a steady rate for the last two and a bit days now! So unless the rains suddenly disapear and we get no more, I dare say there will be a fair bit of water sitting in the waterholes out there! :D

And are the rumours true that it's going to be a 35 point gps run over 1500 acres with a 2 1/2 hour DNF time??

Rumours, rumours. Love to know were all these start. Glad you are all excited about Round 2 guys and girls. At the moment all we have done is have a quick afternoon look at the property on foot and polaris. No stages have been planned or talked about yet. That will happen on our next trip out there in the next few weeks.

The rain isn't worrying us at the moment but if it continues like this right up to the event then it will be interesting.

The terrain at the property is fairly flat with one major creek system. All red soil up on top and sandy gravel in the main creek. Up on the flat a lot has been cleared but that was a few years ago and now there is alot of regrowth. We did get slightly geographicly embarresed on our expedition and that was with the property owner lol. It is a big place for a winch round! The walls will more than likely degrade on the winch hills, so that means the stages may get alot tougher than we planned but that's how racing goes. They may also go the other way and possiblely get a bit easier in sections. Either way will be trying to use the attributes of this property to it's fullest extent.

The way our Series scoring is worked out it doesn't matter if there are 10 stages for the weekend or 5 stages. You will still get the same number of points on the leaderboard for the final position you finish with at the end of the weekend. But we can guarentee you will have a full weekend of Winch Truck Challenge!

:armsup: :armsup: there's already 5 teams definately coming from Gladstone with a possible two more!! Oh and Phil (we adopted him)

and hopefully this event sparks some interest from blackwater and Emerald folk and we see a few new competitors become a part of the best Winch Truck competition in QLD!! :armsup:

Please let us all know when the flyers are ready to be distributed so we can get the word put there nice and early for this round. :armsup:

It's been constantly raining out here since yesterday evening! So all that water that had soaked in has probably been replaced with some nice fresh h2o!

Oh well ive always wanted to do an outback challenge style winch through a swamp/lagoon stage :armsup:

Well TNT has two wheel drive and a navi with a broken rib and gravel rash on his ass....

Pissed and Broke arent racing they will be probably marshalls for the weekend,

Shieldsy and Hinchy probably wont be allowed to race after annoying Bear all weekend and running A-Muck in the mud pit,

Hi-Dee-Ho is probably starting his own betting ring/ nude winch wall climbing comp

Stockers is scared,

Blue-dog is probably sick of travelling, and has to actually go and work,

My car is wrecked and on 3 wheels atm, but luckily we race Goats rig,

And i think thats about it haha

Other wise, ive heard of a few new rigs coming out to race wtc for the first time, and a few more that will be lining up for round 3 :armsup:
