[grimbo]

Mock is my Zuk considered Tryers or Challenge?

[bad_religion_au]

can we get more info on vehicle requirements (i.e. cage)

are LSD's considered lockers?

what susp mods etc fit with the tire sizes.

[MissDrew]

All this will be sorted out over the next week.

I think class rulings will be close to the Nissan Trials ones. They at least FOR NOW!!!!!!! will give you a ruff guide.

[hottiemonster]

[redzook]

any chance of dropping the rego?

in challange class?

[MissDrew]

No chance at all

[redzook]

None at all

u need rego for the open class?

[MissDrew]

If you don`t have rego you will be in unlimited end of story and if you don`t have the cage, harnesses etc you will not compete at all.

end of story ??

im only asking simple questions

[MissDrew]

and I gave a simpal answer that can`t be mistaken or not understood

[DamTriton]

Quite a few people have tcase gear changes, and most people would agree that it can be a double edged sword leaving gaps in gearing between first high and top low. The people with single cases are likely to be the ones that have the more moderate gear ratios (ie <3.8:1).

It would seem more feasable to have a difference between Tryer and Challenge of not weather they have gears or twin cases, but on the overall maximum gearing difference from transmission output to tcase output, in other words (say) <3.8:1 or>3.8:1.

There are vehicles around that have 4:1 low ratio as standard (eg. Jeep Rubicon) and these would be at an unfair advantage in the Tryer and Standard classes.

Tryers class: spiring overs allowed, but no additional links...Does this include an trac bar? I would think for most vehicles that would be an on-road safety issue.

For Standard class a "+2 inch" limit on the tyre size as alowed by the new NCOP. The first thing ppl do is get bigger tyres. You really don't want to limit this class to "straight off the showroom floor" with absolutely no "common" mods allowed.

Not being critical of the idea, (can't bloody wait to see them ) but a bit of fine tuning of the rules may be needed.

My 2c worth(less?)....

[MissDrew]

No matter how you define classes there will always be something that is unfair for somebody.

As for the gears, my rockhopper gears give me approx 90:1, dual cases with stock gers in both give basicly the same. So if gears are allowed but duals aren`t its not fair.

If you have a trac bar on a spring over you are in challenge.

[shakes]

If my Mangie RRute is registered by then I'm in or...
If I havent sold the pootrol by then I'm in

well maybe not with the rangie 3.5 - 4.8ltrs isnt 300cc and we're still lockless and 31's no exceptions?

either way I'll still definatly come and have a gander if its in werribee

Simon

[goodie]

will there be camping?

[MissDrew]

Will need to be confermed next week but yes.

[lux kid]

so will all the classes be required to have roll cages or just challange and unlimited.

i have a hilux with 34" jt 2s 2"suspension and 3 inch lift.
will i need a roll cage to run in tryers.

[MissDrew]

Unlikely, but can`t conferm untill the CCDA guys are back from the outback challenge next week.

ATM these rules are only a guideline as to what we want.

[FireTruck]

Man, that sucks that OzRock 3 is cancelled.





Sign me up for Unlimited. Gotta have somewhere to play with the FireBug...

S.

[cj]

Hmmm... so my Vit will need to go in the Challenge class because I have 4:1 in the t-case. That should make me ultra-competitive

[*BESTY*]

Man, that sucks that OzRock 3 is cancelled.

Unfortunately we don't live in the northern sushine state, and the weather has a big say in it.

We would rather have nice weather for more extreme competition and larger crowds.

Gotta love Melbourne...............4 seasons in one day.

[Cheezy4x4]

Yes Shane it is, with winter apon us you saw the last round how wet and cold it was, I wasnt prepaired to spend up big again on advertising ect for a rock event that could get rained out so I thought of running this instead.
If it rains at the all terain event all the better
Before anyone asks anything (yes there is rock there)

This also lets us advertise more for the next round of OZ Rock at Walbundrie to make it bigger and better.

[N*A*M]

round 3 cancelled? shiet... now i'll never have motivation to fix that rim.

looks like we'll have some training time up in berridale instead.
