ROPS Winch Truck Challenge Round 1- 5/6/7 May

Post by Mosko111 »

So round 1 of the ROPS WTC series is fast approaching us! With 19 teams nominated so far and a few others looking to nominate aswell it is looking to be a very competitive weekend of racing!

Round One this year will be held on a new property, "New Chum" is a 6000 acre working cattle station situated off 9 Mile road, 4kms west of Mount Morgan. New Chum has varying terrain on it, with some sneak peek photo's showing sandy creek beds, large long hills and steep creek banks, rocks and plenty of land for the high speed runs and GPS stages!

Being a long weekend 15 stages have been planned for the weekend (Racing starts Saturday morning and finishes that night, then starts again Sun morning and possibly going into the night aswell, leaving Monday for everyone to travel home), with the focus being on overall team capabilities, not just fastest car or fastest winch, but Driver/Navigator teamwork, GPS skills, vehicle capabilities and that never say die attitude that will get you through the stages!

Some of the stages are:
2x 30 minute drive stages
A rock stage where there is no bunting you just have to go through witches hats (Gates)
GPS stages
A sand run, where a leaked photo on Facebook shows someone bogged to their belly in the soft sand :lol:
Stages with driveable winch walls
Stages over the course of the weekend which will require you to use all the recovery gear on the vehicle (Ground anchors/ snatch blocks/ Bridging ladders)
And the Sat night at this stage is a mystery stage with organisers keeping tight lipped about what they have planned for us!

There is competitor/spectator camping on sight, but as for ammenities only Toilets available so please bring your own showers/shower water! (If you actually shower.....)

Nominations for the event are $300 dollars and Nomination forms can be found on the website: http://www.wtc4x4.com.au Or if you have any queries get in contact with Brad Dukes or Brent Taylor

So just a bit of an update:

B.M.S racing has had to withdraw from the event with the car build/prep not going to schedule
Plan B racing is also out, not being able to source parts in time.

So that leaves 17 teams still competing at Round 1 next weekend! :armsup:

Not to sure mate, a couple more teams in the mix would be great!

Most other competitors are either broken, away working or not finished building their rigs....

Is there a few sleepers up Rocky/Gracemere way thAt might be joining us??

Sorry Brad for this comment (not :) :) )

I will be on site so if anyone wants to talk to me about Blue Plates please do so.

I can also approve Body lifts and Cab and Chassis mods as well as a lot of other Codes. So if you want them done and all is correct in your modification I will be able to issue you a Blue Plate. Cost will depend on how many & what the Codes are.

Cheers

So on top of the 17 teams already on the Competitors list for this weekends comp at Mount Morgan, there's also:

Name TbA: Stinger & Navi in the blue dual cab 80 series
Summit Racing: Michael Camac and Brian (The old farts as Michael has claimed the team members to be :lol: ) In the 5ltr GQ Patrol ute
Plan B Racing is back in aswell! : Shannon & Blaine in the 5.7ltr Jeep Ute
Also possibly Crazy Eyes Racing: Jason St John & ?? In the Turboed 4.5 petty 75 series cruiser ute.

Those are the only other 3 teams I have heard of nominating or looking to nominate for this weekend! Bringing the grand total to 20 give or take one team!! :D :armsup:


So with only 3 more sleeps until everyone loads up and heads on out, hopefully no one has to much more work to do on their rigs!!!
Goat has been giving Toygoata a buff and polish so that means he must be ready to rumble!! :cool:

Round 1 Mount Morgan - "New Chum" Nine Mile Road, Mount Morgan.
Directions - The easiest way that i have found myself is to turn off the Bruce Highway approx 2klms south of the main roundabout at Rocky - signposted Bouldercombe/Mount Morgan. Once through Mount Morgan look for a road to the right - Poison Creek Road, follow this road until you come to a T intersection, turn left onto Razorback Road up to Mount Morgan. The Razorback road has quite a steep section in it approx 150metres long - i like to pull up at the bottom & select low range to go up this section. You will then come to another T intersection, turn right onto the Burnett Highway & follow through the town and out the other side towards Dululu. It is then approx 4klms past the Golf course on the left.

You can also go straight up the Bouldercombe Range to Mount Morgan from Bouldercombe, which is very long & winding, but not as steep as the Razorback.

Will have signs up from Friday morning.
Times - property will be open from Friday morning, if you need access before this, please call me 0412 437 725. Please make sure the gate is closed as it will be unmanned until late Friday arvo.
Drivers briefing Friday night 7pm
Scrutineering from 2 - 6 pm Friday (if you are going to be outside this, let me know)
Competition starts 7 am Saturday
Please follow signs through property to find camping area - there is one little sandy creek to cross - i have driven a 2WD car across this.
Amenities - Toilets only
FarmHouse - Out of bounds to all Competitors - please respect property owners privacy
If you need power etc, please see Brent or myself at Control
You will need to bring your own water for your showers
Make sure you have read the new rules on Pit Crew
This property has a lot of high grass, so make sure you cover up your radiator as needed.

Sorry to be a nuisance.... But im a little confused! (no wonder i suck at GPS stages... haha). Do we go through Mount Morgan before we hit this Razorback hill? Or did you accidently put Mount Morgan instead of another Townships name?
