FNQ Offroad Challenge - 11-13 June 2011

[todsmods]

Nominations are still open for guys who have to travel!!!! There is currently 15 stages marked out. weekend warrior class has some tricky spots with help from your navi being essential. Modified tracks vary in difficulty with some quick non winching stages to deep gullies and short winching. No mud for this comp-nice dry and cool. Plenty of grip with some stages crossing large granite boulders, whilst the gullies are tight and slippery. Hopefully post up pics after this weekend.

We are doing another order of shirts, as we ran out of all XL and larger as well as kids sizes. I have to order them in lots of 10 or greater. So far I have 4 people wanting them. They are $45 and I will need to collect payment up front. This is what they look like and they are made of really light material so they aren't hot. PM or reply on here with your size and how many you would like.

[Ruff Konduct]

The DVD from the event is now ready, and available at $15 each including postage. PM or reply on here if you're interested in getting one.
