Awesome time at toperi 2012.
Maybe a small bonus to get both cars to the finish line

[evanstaniland]

Had a great time.

Tracks were alot tougher.

Its a shame that you guys had to drop the old points system but you did a good job introducing a new system.

I think rear steer needs a 2 stop penalty.
Portals need a stop penalty

No free winch on track 4.

See you next year!!

Rear steer 1 stop, no penaly for mogs! Your choice to run jap crap

I still like to compete at Willowglen like a lot of other people. Also my money tree died. Can i have yours?

Its a better comp with a playing field that is evened up somewhat. Not many of the rigs out there can compete with buggies.

Go to Tough Truck if you want to get flogged by big dollar rigs.

Mogs don't cost much more than chromo-ing a toy or Nissan diff!

I agree that a level field is better, who wants to win when there is no competition

Anyway ask Bob (RED Bitch) how strong Mogs are, pretty sure that was a mog portal he broke on track 4

The "Jap Crap" on the 40 seems to handle the punishment no worries, didn't need mog diffs to win stage 3 and 4

There would be a big difference between the weight of then 40 and. Red bitch!

There will be plenty of competition!

My Mogs were cheaper than chromo-ing toyota diffs.. but down side the weight of them .. id still buy portals over toy or nissan diffs any day.

[Nerd]

any pics anyone

[turbo gu]

If you dont have a level playing field why would people turn up
That was the whole point of Toperi that it is a comp that alot of the field can win with the right teamwork and driving even with smaller trucks

If you are driving a truck with portals, rear steer and 40s and require pretty much any stops you shouldnt be driving there!

I reckon thats sounds fair
And also the dropping of penalties for the stops and make it time based stops and bonus points for not using them all would be a cool.

I agree too, i think that will level the field a bit more.

Any chance of getting the individual scores posted up Tony?

X2 on the individual scores please

Yep i agree, close competition is always better to watch.

Yes mate i broke a portal and an axle, one down side to portals on a 404 dont like being stuck when in reverse the helical cut gears try and spread the casing apart .. im guessing without being at Toperi this yr thats what happened to BOB if he broke one.. .. still do portals over toy or nissan any day..

[brad 93hilux]

Red bitch tried to climb a step, front bounced across and then tried to climb a even bigger rock which it couldn't do and then with power the truck bunny hopped on the spot and it went BANG!!
Marshal did the same with his patrol but he broke a axle.. Both trucks did the same thing..

With only 2 tracks per day at Toperi, why wouldn't there be photos of all cars on all tracks?

Cost is often a factor.

Great job done for one person, but still it would be good to have more to cover the lot.

[brad 93hilux]

I'm guessing there is no DVD as well this year, didn't see the cameras.

And as said any chance of individual placings
