I am very pleased to announce that ARB has once again come on board as our naming sponsor.

ARB have been part of the XWC from the first event back in 2000, now going on 14 years that must be a record for sponsorship in a motor event in Australia.

Again many thanks to ARB for their ongoing support.

No it is on and has been on for the last couple of weeks.

At the moment I have 11/12 starters. Still time to come and have fun.

The important thing here is that we have an event.

I will take late entries up until 1755hrs on the Friday night. But it would be great if you contact me before that time.

Don't forget catering is available all weekend.

Sit down dinner at the house for those that want to come and have some fun at the "Midway Presentation"

SS1 starts at 1800hrs Friday 15th February

I leave for The Springs on Friday, but will be contactable by phone & internet.

Cheers

Arrived at The Springs yesterday afternoon.

Place is nice and green with just a little bit of water flowing in the creeks.

Weather to day is a bit overcast, but nice & cool.

Track setup will start later today, after the main camp has been set up.

Just remember if you want to attend the dinner on Saturday night please call the Park & make a booking.

Only another 5 to go.

These will be well & truly sorted by the time of the Competitors arrival on Friday.

Wednesday morning at ARB XWC Base - The Springs

Lovely sunny day (not).

Little bit overcast and a nice breeze.

Weather for the weekend is going to be great for the start of the ARB XWC. By the looks of it bring a warm jacket, a waterproof one would help if you believe what everyone is saying.

Only the SS1 (Sprint) & Sundays SS to sort out.

Cheers
David
