And I'm not racing Mosko, decided being an alcoholic and watching is more fun and also only have 2 gears which doesn't seem like enough, but I'm no expert

Hi Boys from wtc
Have you had time to go out and look at (or start ) to put tracks in yet and if you have haws it looking
cheers

[Hi-Dee Hoe]

Hey Mosko, I will Start taking bets as soon as i get some competerders. So are the Glady Boys up fo it? 20 to 1 Mosko wont compete!

[WTC]

Hey everyone, Weve been out on the weekend to the comp site planning stages. It is looking brilliant!

The tracks are shaping up to be the best yet with some tough winching planned and some awesome high speed area's.

Navi's you are going to get very very wet on one stage and will definatly need your climbing boots on for another stage. Your Bear Grylls pants are going to get a work out Mosko. Lets hope the guy wearing them can handle the punishment as well!

The camping is on nice flat ground along a creek line. It will be 2wd accessable to the camp ground and comp area. Trucks and prime movers are no problem with access to the camp ground.

There is a pretty good chance it's going to be a bit on the cool side at night so bring your warm clothing.

There is will also be no rubbish bins provided in the camping area so please take all your rubbish home with you. No showers or water so be self sufficient.

Camping will be approx 1.2kms from the comp area.

Cheers WTC.

Sounds awesome

And when you say Navies are going to get really wet, will the Driver/vehicle also get really wet?

And whats the biggest stage in this point in time? 6 winches in one stage??

(BEWARE OF THE NAVI KILLER SPECIAL STAGES MOSKO IF MICK HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT )

[WTC]

Where going out this weekend to bunt all the stages, so we will know more next week as to the final layout and how wet your going to get Mosko.

[gudge]

I think We are sitting this one out, budget is a little tight. So I should be availiable to marshal if your still chasing them, just aslong as I get a pretty vest.

[Mosko111]

How did track marking go this weekend guys? i hope you left the high speed run as long as i was first told it would be

and how are the stages looking spectator wise? a few side by side with plenty of action?

[LSG948]

Stages are all done. They are looking great. Some hard work on the chainsaw with fallen timber. The wood laying on the ground is super hard so be prepared for a few punctures guys.

The speed stage is slightly shorter because we just ran out of time on the dozer but i can assure you all it's still going to be a good run. (Around the 12km mark) Only 1 stage has water and that's on Sunday. The rest are some nice little winches with great viewing for spectators.

Where planning a big day on the Saturday of the comp so we can just have the one stage on Sunday.

Saturday nights stages under lights should be a barrel of laughs and high speed fun.

Camping is on the main creek with lots of shady tree's about. Hardly a mozzie around at night but day time see's the Dawson River Black Fly come out, so bring lots of insect repellent for these little buggers.

[Mosko111]

Sounds awesome, is wayyyy to cold for water stages!

And how long until we get to see a competitor list? Goat said he tried to download forms from website but it wasn't working, so will get him to try again, but he did ask if we can lock in the same info for every comp for the next two years?? Haha

[gudge]

I heard the first stage Saturday morning 7am was navi's in the drink

[WTC]

Ok everyone. The address of Round 2 of the ROPS Winch Truck Challenge is -

[LSG948]

Spectators are $15 a day for the Saturday and Sunday or $30 for a weekend pass. That includes up to two nights camping.

Awesome awesome weekend!

Great stages, great competitors and great officials!

Big thanks to all competition sponsors and property owner, we had a ball!

Team Toygoata would like to thank Cq Diesel Fitting who have helped Goat out so much with the initial build and then keeping it running, and even allowed one of their field service units and a few diesel fitters to come out pit crew for us on the weekend (they got to change an aircon belt haha)
We would also like to thank Curtis Ferry Services for bringing the rig to and from the island free of charge and also Purcells, Crazy eyes winch mods (didnt miss a beat!!) And Blue Dog Barwork for the new trailer (it's great not having to take wheel spacers off before loading and unloading
it!)

[Neesmo31]

Well done to everyone racing - was an awesome weekend. That pendulum looks pretty serious, but stage 3? up the first hill was great. Flat track at night was unreal as well.
