Nissan trials too Hard core

[Madmac]

the general consensus between our club members and other club members was that this years trials where a little bit too extreme, and that the vehicle classes werent real fair, now i thought about putting my name into the hat to have a run in our club team, and after seeing this years event im glad i didnt, with 33in tyres and a couple of inches of lift i would of been up against cars with 6in lifts and tyres up to 38in, hardly fair in my opinion. not only that, in most events standard cars had to run the same course as those with 44 in boggers, and those with 44 in boggers couldnt even drive the whole course, what chance do those of us that arent mega rich with lesser vehicles stand.
i witnessed at least 15 rollovers with at least 3 vehicles total write offs, i heard several other people from other clubs complaining and talking about putting together a petition about toning it down for next year.
after all it is supposed to be an inter club event that the average guy can be competetive in. there are other events for huge trucks, like Tuff Truck and Woodpecker.
to me it seems like Chris Chapman and the Nissan club are only interested in the spectators dollars by designing courses that create maximum vehicle damage and heaps of roll overs. it will come to a point where people wont want to have a go if its not toned down a bit, fair enough run the big trucks, but run them up a seperate track to the smaller ones

Was this supposed to be added to this thread- http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/PHP_Modul ... 248#365248 because it would be a better place for it rather than starting another thread.

I definatly agree with this.
I was in standard this year and more the moost part was competing on the same tracks as the big boys like cheezy etc.
there were only a few tracks that u had a choice of where to go on and there wasnt much difference in alot of it.
I personally thought i did ok to keep up with guys with twin lockers etc.
but
the point has to be made that i shouldnt have to try and keep up with them.......

Adrenalin and peer pressure can make you go too hard for the conditions.
Tracks can change over the course of the event.
Overconfidence can make you try things your not capeable of.
What is easy for one guy can be impossible for another.
Doing well on one track can give you a high expectation by others that you should do well on all tracks.
these things have all happened to me but at the end of the day ...
