As you can see by the competitor list we have a very competitive and top notch field.

So who else is there that can take the fight to these guys.

The Exedy XI - RFC is only for the serious Competitor:-
- The one that trusts his truck & co-driver and can work as a Team
- The one that has put the time, effort and some money into making his truck reliable
- The one that never says "Give up"
- The one who wants to do one of the Best Events in Australia
- The one who can handle "8 Days of Off Road Magic" and as some past competitors added, "Mayhem & Madness"
- The one who wants to compete over 43SS having a mix of speed, GPS and a lot of winching.
- The one who would like to win a trip to Mother RFC Malaysia, 1st - 10th December

If your that Team give me a call, 0418 745 830 or drop me a line at info@xtreme4x4sport.com.au

No dramas. This was posted on Page 3, but here it is again.

There is nothing being hidden.

This will be the most transparent event that you have ever competed in.

There will be added Officials as I am informed of them.


This is what was posted below:-

Well the Exedy XI - RFC Australia is getting closer (22nd - 29th September)

I would like to announce some key players that are going to make it all happen.

Event Director/Competition Manager:- David Metcalfe

Paramedic:- Darrin Burgess

Media Manager:- Ashley Lucas (NZ 4WD Mag)

Catering Managers (Officials):- John Leeson & Peter Clarke

Event Catering:- Dave & Robin Moffett

Score Masters:- Dave Hobbs, Belinda Kane (Trusz) & Carla Kelly

Official's Manager:- Duncan Stickles

Area Managers:- Paul Beach, Steve Kelly

GPS Manager:- TBA

Event Officials:- Linda Beach, Lydia Beach, Justin Beach, Stephan Sharpe, Michael Knight. There are more to be added as confirmations are received.

Please direct all inquires to myself regards any questions on the Exedy XI - RFC.

Cheers
David

[XTREME MMM]

I would just like to comment on the Officials I have so far chosen.

They are some of the hardest working out there and are very easy to get along with. (But remember the only correct answer regards the Exedy XI - RFC will only come from me

I will be overseeing everything (as usual) that goes on during the Exedy XI - RFC.

What has not been announced is that I also will be involved with the scoring during the event.

Unlike all other events I am not using one person and one computer to enter all the data during the week.

There will be at least 4 separate Officials on 4 computers doing this job from the start of SS1 to the finish of SS43.

So if there is any difference in the master score between any of the computers, then it is back to checking Stage by Stage on all computers to see where the fault is.

We will be using all the same program (Excel).

Scores will be released each day when all the SS are finished etc:-

Saturday released Sunday briefing.

Sunday (Day SS) released Monday morning.

As Sunday, Monday & Tuesday nights SS are done in groups these scores will be released on Wednesday morning.

The same goes for the 2 Area Group SS. These will be released along with the running total at start of "Midway Presentation" on Wednesday night.

Thursday SS and running total will be released on Friday morning.

Friday night SS & running total will be released on Saturday morning.

Before the final Presentation all Teams will be able to view their times for the last 5SS.

Unlike some other events all released SS scores not only will have Points, but Competitors time & Penalties, now you will be able to really see how you are going.

I will be open to any inspection of the scoring and master sheets at any mutual time by the listed Drivers Representative.

Regardless who is doing what, they are there for the Exedy XI - RFC and I have the up most respect for my Officials and do believe that they will carry out their Official duties in a Professional manner.

A question was asked the other day "what areas are you going to use for the XI"

I am waiting to see what area the second round of the SSS is using.

Don't want to get my hopes up and find it has been used just before the Exedy XI - RFC.

The GPS Base will be the "Hunters Camp" this offers protection if needed for the officials that will be running this SS.
