Wednesday night (last week) we had some handouts on the table as you walked in, but nothing in time for the magazine.

A few pics - by the way - when/where did Birdy roll?

Was near the end of the day on the rally track, i looked over just as he went over, but i was on the other side of the track, does anyone know any details? was he okay?

pre advertising - 4wd TV ran 5 straight weekly adverts plus two in depth interviews on the event. At the moment Melb. is getting around 40,000 viewers an episode.

Pondy mailed every 4wd shop and club in Vic. Put out media releases and had 4wdrives at the calder drags for 2 weeks prior.

There was over 2,000 spectators. For a first off event that is awesome.

Next one will be November. It will be one day for comp and spectators, the weather should be better and the tracks will be drastically improved.

For a first event it went off well considering the short notice, cost of the venue and the proximity of other event dates. A lot has been learnt and it can only get better.

For us the footage was fantastic (as you can see from the pics) and in a few weeks we will have a full special on all of the action. The only dissapointment for us was the lack of more standard competitors. These tracks are definately driveable (as the mighty Nankang Sierra proved on 31 inch tyres)...so next time we hope to see a broader spread of vehicles.

It was also hard to see Birdy and Smithi roll after driving so well all weekend. They were all fine but fell to very uncharacteristic mistakes.

He is not talking Crap. He is the new owner of Matt's Zook. Matt sold it a little while ago now.

Regarding that 4wdmonthly forum topic on this event with Pat's comments.
No wonder everyone is dropping their subscriptions.
Even the editor doesn't give a $hit about the sport.
He should be the 1st person to support this event, not bag it out.

Looking forward to seeing some footage on 4wdtv!

4wd TV took around 11 hours of footage which has now been edited down to 3 segments of highlights (jumps, slides, wheel lifts, mud, speed and rolls).

In a few weeks ORP will have the full DVD with the whole story.

Colin has already had a great response from companies wanting to secure expo sites for next time as well as the competitors who put on such a great show.

Congrats to Colin but also a huge thanks to the competitors who put on an awesome show...Mike Smith, Trent Leen, Bidders, Darren Green, Sandy Bowman...and all. Plus guys like Andrew Worthington for having a crack in their Zook, Matt Delbroco for a huge jump and landing on his bullbar and of course Joel and his wife for coming back after a nasty roll in warm ups to put on the BIGGEST jump of the day (plus the biggest bounce of a jump)!

Can't wait for the next one.
