I will elaborate a bit. I currently compete in trophy class in the green suzuki, ring ding ding racing.

It is a hard top chopped into a softtop and thus the hard top had solid doors.

The softop original tub, only had canvas doors or a single lap height grab bar. I assumed that some sort of door would need to be fabbed.

The original hardtop doors will not fit.

Team AMADAEXTREME will be their again for RND2 !
Sounds like we are going to have a lot of competitors again this round , should be great.
Superior Engineering will be running the Contingency racing Scheme again so if you dont know what that is about check it out here as it is really easy money for winning.

Hi Kelvin, rules have been emailed.

Just a reminder to all of our new competitors that your vehicle needs to be scrutineered prior to competing. Unfortunatly we only have limited time to be able to do this on a Comp weekend so we ask that scrutineering be organized prior to comp weekend. This can be done by contacting us via email info@toughtracks4wdclub.org or Pm Bowtie Landie.
Also track building is on this weekend the 15th. Cals Climb is looking good for Challenge and Outlaw.
It's easy to get upto Cals even with a stock 120 series prado with a 2 inch lift so watching the comp up there will be worth the drive.

[Ricko]

A reminder to Challenge Class and Outlaw Class competitors - you MUST be able to self-recover. Ideally you will have a quality operational winch on board. As a last resort, you will need to be pals with another competitor to assist in your recovery.

In round 1, recoveries went reasonably well, but I feel there is room for a lot of improvement.

The good points were the way the teams worked together and helped each other out in recoveries. Even the diesel shop buggy from Outlaw helped in a Challenge Class recovery. This was really great to see and made for expediant recoveries, one of which being the difficult Tuff Lux recovery on Track 1.

Where we looked sad though, was with the lack of winches that had been recently tested, serviced, or that were run by a completely inadequate battery. I would really appreciate all teams to do some checks on their recovery gear, ensure it is all up to scratch, and be ready and prepared to use the gear they have on board.

The tracks this round are likely to be difficult to access for recoveries, so the more independant the cars are, the better. That said, given the way the teams worked in Round 1, I am sure there should be no issues.

I am really looking forward to this round. I will be out there on Sunday, looking for a couple of big rocks for the Challenge Class trucks to drive over, and a couple of tricky lines to get the navis working too.

See you all out there.
Cheers
Rick C

As a side note, I have found some trophy plaques that I think belong to Rick Nolan. If he or someone who knows him, can PM me his details, I will arrange them to be posted.

Hey Peter
4.11. Vehicle Doors
4.11.1. All vehicles shall run doors.
4.11.2. Intrusion bar shall not be altered in any model vehicle that has them
fitted as standard.
4.11.3. ‘Cut-down Doors’ are not allowed.

this really sucks for us truggy and buggy owners how want to compete
is there anyway this rule in red can be looked at

my rock doors and extra tube work which has taken place of the intrusion bars are way stronger than the factory door strength

would this be scrutineered on each vechile and if improved from std be passed or failed

cheers kelvin
this is not inteneded as a dig just a honest enquirey

[ToughTracks4wdClub]

Kelvin,
Could any questions that you have about the current rules be PM to either us or Bowtie Landie(Peter K) or you can send them through to info@toughtracks4wdclub.org
Posting these questions on here seems to open it up to everyones comments and only causes problems for peoples interpritation of the rules.
Thanks

Outlaw/buggy class rules are as per tuff truck so half doors are aloud in that class. That was the what was said at the last meeting I attended.

[Bruceh]

Are tow vehicles being charge seeing as we tow our comp rigs to the camping ground and the tow rigs don't move all weekend?

Ben is right Kelvin, and an oversight on my part.

4.11.3. should finish with "excludes outlaw class".

Even Rolly missed this one when I got him to have a look over it for outlaw.

It will be corrected though.

[bowtie landie]

Hi Bruce, after discussions with Wendy, I understand it to be as follows:-

it is $45 per car per week-end (plus camping if required). If you park the car and DO NOT allow it to be driven around by spectators then you will only pay the $45 for the comp vehicle. If you park the trailer and allow the tow car to be driven around then it is 2 x $45 for the week-end.

I will confirm this with Wendy as soon as possible & Tonka here.

If ya haven't been to Scenic Rim Adventure Park before, you can bypass Beaudesert if coming down the Mount Lindesay Hwy. Turn right off Mt Lindesay Hwy at Allan Creek Rd, then left at "T" intersection onto Bromelton House Rd. Follow this and will bring you out onto the Beaudesert-Boonah Rd which you turn right on to. Just up the road turn left onto Sandy Creek rd.

Hope this helps. It's a bit of a short cut. But if ya need a feed or fuel then don't go this way.
