The event is to find the smartest driver/nav in the best tuff truck and the event was unreal.

I dont think people are whinging too much. We all think it was a good event and people like to discuss it afterwards. Withdrawal symptomsSquik wrote:Just been reading through all of this.....
With various comments of "should have this, shouldn't have that".....all I can say is that each year we listen and each year we have a big meeting to make necessary changes.
One thing I have noticed, and it irritates me, is the constant Tuff Truck vs. WERock stuff.
Tuff Truck is about tough trucks - WERock is about tough buggies. Whilst both are based on building the best the vehicle and teaming it with the best driver, the two are like chalk and cheese.
You are comparing hard core rock crawling with short course runs.
It's starting to get like a school yard spat and looking a bit silly......we did this....you did that....we had this......you had that......
Tuff Truck and WERock are both fantastic, well run events. Buggies are becoming more and more popular and I sincerely hope it gets big over here.
Comparing the two is like comparing the Grand Prix F1's to Bathursts V8's - both awesome but run at different vehicle classes.
Nuff said.
Well i was "one of the other two guys" and I'd like to say thanks for the kind words. It really is nice to have some feedback on what we do.The weekend was great, except for the guy on the scissor lift with the mic at Fridays mudrun. He certainly didn,t know when too shut with the stupid comments . There where a number of spectators and competitors around me that where getting jacked off by him ,to the point that one of them went up and theatened to tear him a new one if he didnt shut up At all the comps Ive been to theres always a lot of good sportsmanship going on with the competitors willing to help each other out, this guy did nothing to promote this The other two guys on the other hand where great!!
I dont expect that everyone will enjoy the style of commentry that we provided this year, and it aint easy, beleive me. I appreciate that the crowd dont like it when we make mistakes. I am happy to listen to all and any constructive critisism. But just have a think to yourself first, could I do a better job? I loved every second of the calling at TTC06, I had an absolute blast! Congrats to all involved, and remember, if you have some feedback, i'd love to hear it, it can only help me improve at what I enjoy.Just a comment on the comentators, can they get there shit together with peoples names, and truck mods etc. All throught the weekend they continued to stuff up who drove what, or what it had done to it etc. And really, sometimes they just seem to talk for the hearing of their own voice.
Layto....

who cares how much money people spend on their vehicles. If they want to invest big $$$ into good on them. Just because big $$$ have been spent means the vehicle will win, it also needs good driving, spotting and luckBOGAN wrote:And dont forget how has the biggest amount of money to spend on their rigwakman wrote:Stop your whinging!!!

I agree totally. Also just because peole spend big $$$ on their rig, doesn't mean they're rich either. There are compeditors out there who spend almost everything they earn on their car just to be compeditive, and get criticised for being rich. These people should be given the respect they deserve, rather than sour grapes from someone who chooses to spend money differently.grimbo wrote:who cares how much money people spend on their vehicles.

Thats very true as i have been there and done that we had a small rig last year and still placed 15th outta 33 cars so i will retract my last statementgrimbo wrote:who cares how much money people spend on their vehicles.

Rear steer does not effect road rego, pit inspections or the like. All rear steer systems that have been engineered are for off road use only.. Simply fix the system with a pin or the like...........
Any engineer will pass rear steer as long as it is fitted with a lockout....
With my setup you simply remove the quick release Hydro Ram & I replace it with a solid bar which enables it to be fixed as a non steer axle.
I have not had to fit this bar to the vehicle in the past 4 years as I do not need to drive it on the road.......
As most of our vehicles do not get driven on the street, their are many features that make these trucks look insane....
Put 38" Tyres on it with normal offset 10" rims / Flares & ghay arse mudflaps. & then they just look similiar to most other modified 4x4's with 38" rubber on them...

Stuff the rules ... just give them as many different types of terrain as you can think up and let them battle it out
If your competing in a daily driver then just compare yourself to the other daily drivers in the comp.
If your going for outright victory then just do whatever it takes to win.
If your in it for the challenge then just Drive it
