PUT UP OR SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moderator: evanstaniland
ok i havnt been here for a few days but have just read over the last 2 pages.
my imput on the throttle and crawl debate that was going on, from a SPECTATORS point of view all i can say is although there may be alot of skill involved in slowly crawling over massive rocks, IT GETS BORING!! smoking tyres, loud engines and alot of noise is what pleases the crowds, watching over some xrcc videos u find urself fast forwarding through all the boring crawl over big rocks that every single rigs seems able to do and playing all the good bits (wheel spinning, lots of action). all im going to say is if u want rock crawling to get big in australia u need a large audience.... which means u will need to give em what they want they want and thats to PUT UP!

Yes that is the plan (someday), thats why the rules are very similar to one of the biggest events in the USA!!!
Hell if any of them are coming over for a holiday they should bring there buggies over with them!

POS Relax .Everyone has there own veiw and are intitled to it.A lot of people are new to the comp scene and are looking at this to be there first comp.
I have just watched the vid as well and from what I have seen it looks like a full throttle type of event.
The only difference on my oppinion is that I have done enough driving and competing to know just because someone has to drive it full noise doesn't meen that that is the only way to drive it. I have crawled many obsticles that others have driven at full noise. So just cause someone doesn't agree with the way you guys drive don't shoot them down in flames. You may think you are just shooting Tim down but you may have scared many more off from giving it a go. Show some encouragment for them to come and give it a go You want to get all types of cars and drivers there that is how the comp will grow.There aren't enough buggies to make a buggy only comp so getting more people to give it a go will lead into more buggies been built.
Dave and I will be up there with at least one truck hopefully 2 and we will bothe give our all to entertain and show you throttle jockies how to drive.

Sam,
I would not have had a go at anyone if they didn't have a go first!!!
LIKE i have said millions of times before ROCK CRAWLING is great because it allows for different styles of rigs and different style of driving!!!!!!!! I have been and always will be happy to see any form of Rock Crawling!
When someone has a GO at ME about the way the i drive i have a go back!
No as far as encouraging other people to have a go i will tell you this!
As this is the first event and like i said right from the start there will only be one class, i will not encourage someone that is going to get hammered on the first stage!!!
AND
I also said that this will be the "HARDEST ROCKCRAWLING EVENT EVER HELD IN AUSTRALIA"
Now i do not and will not ENCOURAGE someone that has NEVER COMPETED AT A ROCK CRAWLING EVENT OR COMPETED AT ALL to just jump in the deep end and take on the most challenging terrain ever competed on!!!!!!
To me encouraging someone to do that is just down right STUPID (and dangerous)
I think if i allowed this, it would SCARE more people off than me telling them the truth and HOW ITS going to be!
Also i can gaurantee you that if i did not tell people HOW HARD this will be and HOW BIG these rock faces are and HOW likely the chance of rolling is And HOW likely it is that you WILL have to use more than 1500 RPM than after the event i would not hear the end of it!
I would much prefer that a lot of people that are interested in competeing at this event to maybe come along and have a look at the first one! If you like what you see than come back for the second. It is much better than someone turning up and then realising that they have bitten off more than they can chew and then whinge like a biatch because i did not tell them that some use of the throttle will be required!
SAM i will always encourage some one to give it a go BUT i will NOT encourage them to BITE OFF more than they can chew!!!!

Every obstical worth driving has an element of risk, without risk there can be no glory!

Very well said,I agree 110%.
You want to encourage the growth of the sport,and by allowing someone thats has never competed in this type of terrain,and have them possible roll over or do some serious panel damage,In my opinion this is not good for the sport as they will not come back.
Just my opinion.
