Poor diddums! We've already calculated when I need to be due to fit in with comps, existing Birthdays, Christmas etc and we're not even trying for a bub yet! Dude you suck at teh maths. We were keen as beans for the event too.

Having said that, we might still spectate.

Woohoooo any teaser pics of changes or new rules??

[CV Smasher]

Yes I'm keen to see the new rules too!

[tuff_89zook]

Yes I'm keen to see the new rules too!

X2

[BUSTED100]

Yes I'm keen to see the new rules too!

X3 and then some

[Toperi]

Due to Government legislation we have had to remove timed driving completely from our event. So this is how the rules are looking at the moment, these are NOT official yet as the have to been approved by the dept of Sport & Rec.

Each vehicle will have 6 stops per stage & you will be entitled to 1 reverse each time, each stop will be a 5 point penalty, so there is a max of 130 points per stage. We are hoping for a max STOPPED time of 4-5 min per stage, not sure if we will get this approved, otherwise stop time will be at marshal's discretion.
We will run 2 stages on Saturday & 2 stages on Sunday, so everyone will drive stage 4. In the event that we have a tie on points, the tied teams will drive track 4 again until we have a winner.

just a quick question on how do you equalise the field? eg: 37s v's 42s and rear steer, or is it to bad just pick a better line and deal with it

[Nerd]

Any teaser pics

[CV Smasher]

Another question, if you stop to wait for your team mate is that classed as a stop? Also if you tow him with a strap and stop to unhook is that classed as another stop?

[turbo gu]

Thanks for the update Tony.

I think the drivers briefing is going to be a long one on Saturday!! There will be so many questions!

Maybe over a certain size tyre or modifications gets less stops!

[CV Smasher]

Yep its going to be fun

[turbo gu]

Chris you shouldnt be worried about stopping!! You driving a rental car!! It should go anywhere flat out!
As for unhooking after towing, like the rental would be able to drag the fridge on flat ground yet alone out of something if its stuck
