great work maddog

good to see some many pictures

Post by **germo** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 5:06 pm

will post some pics soon.

gotta say the improvement in buggies is amazing.
the only thing I will grip about is that it was a bit boring to watch, having to wait for buggies to drive the course.
the drivers should be with their buggies at all time and in line ready to race, rather than having to be chased down over the loud speaker.

a few guys I talked to were dissapointed with this!,
organisation was not as good as last years final.

it may be better with more buggies and from the way people were talking there is a few in progress!

but well done to the organisers, there was a much bigger crowd and good media coverage, leading up to it on radio, and NBN TV doing a report on it too!

there was some wild rock to drive and tricky courses, some of the huge stuff looked a bit scary,

enjoy ashley

I think there would be benefit in making longer courses without increasing the insanity of the obstacle each year, rather than keeping the courses ultra short but increasing the size of the obstacles and the height above ground that you do them at. Having a slightly longer stage allows for drivers to move ahead of others based on their driving skill and consistency rather than the luck of a drop off a 12 foot ledge or similar.

Theres also a heap of skill in driving these scary drops id reckon, like throttle timing. Notice its the same drivers who pull them off most of the time eg Pete A.

I personally like the big drops and keep em coming cos they bring the crowds back, but somone will probably get hurt one day. The best tracks for me though, are the technical, twisty off camber ones that require strategy and offer different lines for different vehicles, but are still spectacular. My fav track was the A3/B2 one (and the shootout was OK too i spose

)

By the way top pics maddog thanx for putting em all up.

not close at all Mick..there was another row of bunting further down than the yellow and black TJM bunting that you can see in the clip...

the TJM bunting was the course bunting, spectator bunting was further down the hill

Exo, from what i can see from the pics, it looks heaps sweeter than his original, The yellow makes a big difference. Who was driving it? or was Pete just having a play in those pics.

W.E.ROCK Finals, what a great weekend at Milbrodale. An awsome effort from Tony and his crew of hard working dedicated team, without them the event would not be possible , and all of us would not be able to compete at what we have all just experienced as a over the top fantastic event.
Congrats to all the winners in each class and to the series winners , but I do believe events like last weekend can only make all of us winners.

To Jamie & James ( TEAM 4x4 SPECIALIST) a big pat on the back to you guys for such great effort over the whole weekend , and thank you both for the opportunity to be a fellow team member.

Hobo Bob
(TEAM 4X4 SPECIALIST)

NAM we were the first to do that drop off and landed it with no ramping rocks. I think we might have beat your front hang time doing it

Yes it is on video but I don`t know who has it.
