Willowglen Challenge 2013

[DUDELUX]

Bump.

I'm heading down bright and early Sunday. Work's fully booked on Saturday so I can't get out of it.

Tone, you gotta still be driving when I get there, or I'm cable tie-ing you and Mel inside your tent!

No dedication Jess.
I think if Im going to roll, itll be on the saturday, so Ill bring cable ties.

[DUDELUX]

HI guys im very keen for a run in willowglen, we cant get enough cars for a team so looking for a run with another club, cheers guys, Dan 0422272440

Only 2 more sleeps to go till Willowglen and this thread appears to be dead!!

Has everybody lost interest or have they all gone to faceplant instead??

As per Charles comments, Top job TLCC, well done. A big thanks to all involved

Congratulations to Shellharbour 4x4 club! Good to see a local taking the throne.

This was our second comp, we placed 19th which I am very happy with. We also won a Stage Managers Award which was an awesome surprise, wish we had stayed for presentation but the dust was being kicked up something fierce when we decided we had to get a move on.

The organisers have done a good job this year, well done TLCC.

Only a couple of suggestions; test drive tracks in a long wheel base to see if turns with any applicable penalties are actually possible. Have the main roads watered if it's dry to keep dust down. The fire truck must have kicked up a tonne of dust driving back and forth on the main entry track. Luckily we didn't camp right on the edge of the road, but it was still pretty bad.

Well done to Shellharbour taking out Willowglen this year..... For the first time I believe?


Gallery of the comp is now up. Over 1100 shots, sorted by team:

Top weekend still think the mud run needs some work and some new ideas its just not cool with the depth of it....same with the end turn on Rocken and rollen way to tight we all like to drive the tracks not stop at 50 points!!!!coz you can't make the turn that's just my thorts

Got to agree on how tight some parts of the courses were.
I drove the whole rockien n rollin course but it was a dam tight turn I took 3 back and fills and still touched a pole.
The climb on the waterfall track was the same at the 70point marker. I got past and it was a hairs width from rubbing a pole.

It is ment to be a challange of driving skill BUT if your trying to fit a square peg into a round hole its never going to work! eg LWB patrols around those turns. I would rather harder tracks with a bit more space than just tightening up the courses

there was plenty of room on those tracks



for a zook

go the 105 series cruiser

While we are putting our wants and needs in. We at Bong Bong 4wd would be happy to run our cars all together
on each track. We dont care if there may be an advantage or disadvantage. Please consider it for next year.
we had a great time this year and will be back next year

[Mudboy]

The track was very tight and I believe it should be made possible to drive the tracks without points been deducted for back and fills to just get through the track

We just need a little more room to get through and that would make it better for both driver and spectator
