Car 27 for us. Juzza you ass, car 3

Hottie dont worry you will have plenty of tracks to follow, we were last last year.

Car 7 for us - Barry Sheens old number, lucking for some.

I thought the event was restricted to 50 entrants.

The organisers usually accepts 10% more to allow for non-starters.

For those in rural areas, the starting point is at Merringtons camp ground (Walhalla). First competitor will get their paper work at 9:30am and the rest of us will get ours at one minute interval after that.

I was in the area last November and I did notice that Rawson no longer sells fuel. I'll have to bring a few jerry cans just to make it back to Moe.

Bridle track has been graded so there shouldn't be traffic at the start (aka Challenge 2001).

Plenty of tracks marked, but you never can be sure if they are the right ones......

The Track Coordinators are sneaky buggers. They place questions at wrong tracks so they make you think that you're on the right track.

Geez Alberto, well they had the "master of deception" as their mentor didn't they

Plenty of Nodoz and Red Bulls

Tea bags are the go, not nodoze or redbull. Just whip out ya stock standard tea bag. dunk in cold water and then suck it. That'll keep ya brit eyed.

Hmmm... teabagging's not my forte.

I'll stick to the Red Bull (lots of) and maybe some pseudoephidrine.
It's gonna be dusty, and dusty means hayfever!

Dusty means, Aircon & re-circ

Hottie doesn't have aircon

REDBULL GIVES YOU WINGS!!!!! & a rapid heartbeat which probably isn't a good thing

Also read somewhere you get the same benifits from eating some apples.
But I did read that on the internet which has been prone to lieing to me.

Can anyone confirm whether or not I'll get a commodore down to Merringtons Flat?
That is, without ripping out the k-frame and leaving a sump full of oil on the track!

I've been told it's not too rough, but things can change.
We just need a car to keep our extra fuel and camping crap in.
BTW, company car so if it's a little rough, a lil left foot etc..

Post by **Ruffy** » Fri Feb 10, 2006 7:48 pm

Last time i was at merringtons last year, you would have been able to get a car in ok. Especially a company car!

Post by **OnPatrol** » Fri Feb 10, 2006 7:57 pm

I wouldn't risk it even if it's a company car. If there's a bit of rain you may not be able to drive it out and you wouldn't want to be towed out because there's no recovery point behind the plastic bumper.

There will be a designated spot for fuel, so you can bring it with you to Merringtons in your 4wd. The half way mark is back at Merringtons so you can fill up then.

Car 19...and please be gentle on us newbies. I don't want to scratch my Challenger

air con uses more fuel, and you are on straight gas, and no jerry cans for you.

Post by **sparky** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 9:09 pm

Don't have air con either.

Last couple of years have been dusty. Real pain in the arse

Post by **Drafty** » Tue Feb 14, 2006 7:22 am

Doesnt seem to have affected your final place in any major way.

Post by **sparky** » Tue Feb 14, 2006 6:43 pm

Air cond didn't help you much last year as even your brother without air placed better than you

Post by **Big Red Toy** » Tue Feb 14, 2006 7:29 pm

yeah i still like my air-con

Although i am limited to 250lt of gas so better go lightly on the accelerator i guess

Post by **sparky** » Tue Feb 14, 2006 7:41 pm

with the hi flowed pump getting fitted thid weekend I might need all the 180 litres of fuel my ute can carry. But the extra power should make up for it.
