Toperi 2011 26th-27th November

[joshy]

Unfortunately i also have to pull out. Looks like i have to move house either the weekend this is on or the one after, and the funds wont stretch far enough to do both. I think a replacement has been found already tho.

[Screwy]

Really mate?

Bugger!

They have forcast a lot of rain in orange this week.hope its finished by friday

they wont have passes. They know who is competing.We will just give them our name and It will be sweet.Never had a problem at this event.

[unmass]

Awesome!!!! Hope it doesn't flood like after last year.

I think ill need to bring a tent maybe a swag just won't cut it if it rains like Sunday last year.

Maybe they wont need self filling wombat holes

Can't wait

[Toperi]

Well we have finished our preparations for the Tough Dog Toperi Challenge 2011, the wombat holes are self draining, we have an all weather road into the site, and its pissing down rain!!! The forcast is pretty ordinary for the week, but it is supposed to be a cracker weekend.
Here is the official start order for the comp. Teams 1-17 will be starting stage 1, teams 18-34 will be starting on stage 2. Both stages will start at the same time.
The only bonus points this year is the log on stage 3, we have bunted the tracks quite wide so there is plenty of options to drive every stage cleanly. We cleaned out all the puss from the bottom of the conveyor on stage 1, so with a bit of mumbo most teams should drive it.

[the gun]

Do we need long pants or can we compete in shorts ????

Shorts are fine but leave ur mankeeni at home

[Bentzook]

What are the advantages/ disadvantages of starting first ?

I guess I rather start before some fat-assed wheeler with 42s

[micka1]

Wellsprung are looking for another car to run with Adams 40 series atm after a late pull out , if anyone is keen please PM me and ill pass it along to the club .

thanks Micka

[lukes4x4]

Geez Lukey I"m look forward to it but anyone one would think you were busting to driving the new truck.

No real dissadvantage to anyone else other than zook drivers as they just fill up all the small holes for everyone else to drive over

[jimmy087]

in all seriousness i think the tracks should be really consistent as far as the track changing, so run order shouldnt be much of pro or con. I know how much i hate it when a track changes car to car like willow glen, makes the good cars look crap and the crap cars look good.
Good luck to all those madly preping there cars and look forward to some good drives and happy competitors.

[MADSHORT]

geez put the weather on for us aye
your day time temp forecast are what our over nite lows are lol
cheers

[MogLux]

Shorts are fine but leave ur mankeeni at home

That sucks.. Daaazzzzaaaa would have looked good in his Mankeeni and his movember chopper look...

[turbo gu]

Shorts are fine but leave ur mankeeni at home

Make sure you tell Cameron for trac 4 about that! We all saw way too much at Willowglen a few years ago!

[MogLux]

But what dose it all mean Basil?

Rain has eased today but regardless of the weather, Toperi will be on. Was out on site this evening and its not that wet, forcast says the majority of the rain has past.
