Any idea when the list of competitors will be finalised.

Post by **OnPatrol** » Mon Jan 24, 2005 11:56 am

Joe, there's 48 competitors in the almost final list. We generally accept more entries after the closing date, so if you're still thinking about entering then send your entry form & cheque asap. Don't wait too long cause I start printing the route notes in early Feb.

Vehicle list:
- 30 Nissan (including 1 Maverick)
- 10 Toyota
- 5 Range Rover
- 1 Land Rover
- 1 Jeep
- 1 Mitsubishi

Our sponsors have been generous again this year, so there's some great prizes again this year.

I have received the confirmation e-mail to say we are in. Woohoo :armsup:

The start/camp is Frenchman's Creek Camp so we will be in the Big River/Marysville area as rumoured. Looks like everyone that entered from our club got in :cool:

We are starting 35th, the highest we have started so far. How do they work out the starting order :?:

I guess it just means we'll have more fun overtaking others throughout the Challenge

It also looks like they are going to run the 1st stage time in an unfair way again and give one cut-off time for all regardless of what time you started. Looks like we will be penalised 35 mins before we even leave the start line

By the way Joe both you and Andrew have got in

I wanted to post the full list up but I cant cut and paste the list from the PDF file.

Anyway for all those competing from on here Goodluck and we will see you there

Post by **OnPatrol** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 7:15 am

Good luck all. If you're going up on Friday night make sure that you book your accommodation as quickly as you can. You're going to need a good sleep.

Just to make sure that it's clear and to save our Officials getting too many phone calls....each competitor will have their own finish time for each section. Your individual finish time for each section is fixed, so you'll need to manage your time.

The first car will get notes at 10:01am and are given up to 9:01am on Sunday to finish, the last car starts at 10:49am and finish at 9:49am Sunday.

We expect the entire event to finish by 10:00am Sunday, but from our experience most will probably finish between 7am to 9am.

Good luck again...and I hope your navigaton skills are up to scratch.

Alberto. This is a much better and fairer way to run the section cut & run times than last year. Thanks for clearing this up

Here's the competitor list and start times. Sorry if they are hard to read :cry:

Competitor lists are much easier to read now :roll:

Number 2

Post by **Hobzee** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 5:42 pm

Hey hey, numer 17. Hmmm 2 in my radar ahead of me - Ears is driving my Hilux in 3 so if he knows what's good for him he'd wait till I pass him and then there's Rog in 2 (Old driving partner) - he can make that yellow rangie pretty wide. Not that it's a race at all ..... but it sure feels good to be out in front.

Re CCDA affiliation with VAFWDC - there is no affiliation for insurance. Not sure if we did it but spoke about CCDA joining VAFWDC as a corporate member and VAFWDC joing CCDA as corporate member too. But even if we did CCDA does not pay VAFWDC insurance per member and is not signing up as a club. Therefore don't count on CCDA as your 4WD club.

If you filled out CCDA form at a Nav Run or Nav Nite you should be in as all are passed to Roger Smith quickly. If you are not sure give me a call at Pro Comp 03 9705 6677 and I will follow up for you.

Lockee -- UR the one in front of me for exactly 1 minute. Moonnee is 1 minute behind me for exactly 24 hours...

How about that - lockee, hobzee and moonee 3 in a row - that could be 3 abreast..

Post by **EARSEZOOK** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 11:02 am

It appears the Hilux has just got a hell of a lot wider and slower. Little bit cocky I think. I hope its hot and dry cos the lux has air con and Hobzee doesn't so he'll be sucking my dust for quite a while I think. Also the lux handles better in the fast stuff.

Starting order is calculated using a very scientific method. Competitor names are initially ordered using a 256 bit polynomial sort algorithm, we then take these names, put them in a hat, and draw them out. So itâ€™s pure luck on your start position.

Hay Joe, Im just putting in a 400hp chev in the wagon for the event so we can push our way up the ranks. Everyone in front,

Dont stop as you will be used as fill.

Post by **TamsTJ** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 4:54 pm

400hp, it's a pity the motor can't tell which way to go. You should be lost in half the time. Enjoy!!!

If you feel the occasional tug at the back of the vehicle that will be me attached to the rear of your GQ via a very strong strap strugeling to keep control of my truck. Please dont brake suddenly as my reflexes arent real good.

Hey Hobzee.

I heard IRONMAN suspensions are employing,

How about the loser has to take the job????

By the way the hilux mirrors make the GU look small, (almost irrelevant)

Post by **EARSEZOOK** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 8:26 am

Hey cheezy, dont forget to put oil in the transfer case, it might just be a cause for making that 400HP useless!!!!!!!!
