Hobzee and I did some setting up on Saturday. The easier tracks we were doing were a struggle in the wet, and we haven't started on the tough tracks. And imagine if it starts snowing in the Mt. Selma area.

Yep, heaps of warm gear guys, or maybe not for the guys or gals who will be winching.

Some excellant scenic tracks and a lot of variety, so it won't be boring.

Cannot wait.

Hey Rudi & Steve,

I've had a good look at the website, but could find no information regarding insurance for the event? If it's slippery for the winch b!tches, then here's hoping people are covered. hate for murphy's law tro prevail and leave you and hobsy exposed. :?:

Other events mention CCDA affiliation or coverage supplied by "blah blah insurance co.." - figured you would have the info up there given the entry fee.

I doubt that the coverage supplied by VAFWDC for club members would cover this.

Just a query but may be important as a couple of entrants and i have discussed this.
80 Series Turbo - the Toy car...
XR6 Turbo - the work car...
XW wagon - the dogs car...

We have organised and run our own our insurance since 2004.

Entrants who don't have their own insurance should be CCDA members. Coverage is only $40 for the year.

Go to our website www.navrun.com.au and click on the CCDA link for more details.

Any further enquiries regarding this please email me at navrun@navrun.com.au

Regards, Rudi

1 month to go, you might just have enough time to learn how to switch it on ;) or are you driving.

Hey Guts

Watch the FX don't turn off under winching or restarting a stalled
vehicle.
They have a built in low voltage switch off.
If voltage drops bellow that point the fx will turn off.
Problem is fixed using a small Lead acid battery and a diode.

I had the problem and done what Hazza described with the diode and small battery but now have it connected into my 24v system and its simple and works a treat.

A special stage might consist of dead dragging Hobzee's 60 up some inclines.

The motorbike who dropped his bike off the track was impressed.

I have got a short 20-25min edited video of some action from the pursuit, on ss1 & ss3 (the night stage if it wasnt ss3!), and a few pics to go along with it.

If your interested, cost is $5 to cover the postage etc to have it in your hot little hands.... :cool:
Or if your in the Frankston to Dandy area in vic, I could drop it off, or something could be organised.

pm me if your intersted!
