Well for those who didn’t get to come to the mud run in Babinda hahahaha
Friday night Jake and his old man, Singo Chris and I (Luke) cruised up and booked into the Babinda State Hotel. We were all having a few ales and I put a DVD
Quicksand III trying to get Jake all psyched up for the obstacle course … well end of the movie Jake was snoring hahaha snap shot time anyhow … back to the drinking and dribbling shit when we were joined by Mr. James Jim Beam from Mt Isa and everywhere else u don’t want to know about. This dood was smashed off his face …
And dribbling a lot of shit, he couldn’t decided if he was from babinda or mt isa so we just called him James Jim Beam from Mt isa …
We were all giving James shit all night cause he didn’t like union and him being drunk bit really well, so he’s telling us all that he’s 30odd and has being playing front row for 20 years and he still has a straight nose and no collie flower ears .. The arms up rule apparently works “we’ve all got our arms up in the air covering our noses”
So he’s staggering around and we’re all putting shit on this poor drunk guy
And I flogged one of his JB and colas and he’s going through all our empty cans cause he was so sure he had another one … hahahaha …. By this time we should have been sleeping 1am … Mr James Jim beam has gone down stairs and he’s walkin around out near the 4wds so we’re back at it again giving him shit about union and league and he’s offering us to come down and have a run at him …such a stoner
And along comes another guy Mr fuckface as he likes to call himself. Mr James and Mr Fuckface are now at each other and carrying on like twits … so we’re trying coconut seeds at these guys and another dood comes over and flogs Mr Beams JB and cola he left on Jakes spare tyre …. Now some doods are fighting in the cars park yelling and some guy runs off and jumpin in his 40 series trayback and drives off in a big hurry …. Never seen a BJ40 move so fast in my life haha stupid smurfs
So we ended getting the other 2 pointing at the outerlimits sticker on the back of Jakes Middy for a photo of the locals …. And every one down stairs left except Mr Beam
So we’re tryin to get him to do some circle work in his Calais … and he wasn’t goin to so we were about to leave when we here him take off and pull a skid around the corner and he rocks up out the front of the hotel and starts to arc it up hahaha he nearly ended up in the news agents front window and takes off ….
Saturday morning .. fawkin Singo is up at sparrow fart and Jake is snoring like a V8 chainsaw … so I put some shaving gel in Jakes hand to see if he would wipe it over his face or some thing …
Went to check out the course … the obstacle course looks okish … could be some more rocks and stuff … perhaps some bigger logs and more of them …. The course is going to be really fast … the mud run is going to be interesting.. can see some hiluxes getting rolled

and we put up the TJM tent and we bootie fab’d our own tent from singo’s tarp and some poles and rope photos of everything attached …
Ok so Sunday … what a show … 700hp mud runners….. sounds sweet
I spent most of the say on the obstical course scoring … sad to say the Nissan flag was not flying on the course …. Was over run by cruisers of all shapes and sizes
And a zook and a pajero, rover, a chopped bishi 4wd van, and a old skool jeepzilla
Ok so having a look at the vehicals …. Few guys running 35’s (BFG’s, MTR’s and Baja Claws) 2” lifts .. didn’t see any body lifts, a good show put on by some hitting the mud full noise on the course good entertainment when they hit hard cause the bulbar digs in on hells hole, a lot of people got stuck here diving into to bottomless mud pit, then around to the tree which was muddy to start off with but dried up and got hard and was easy … the logs … im pretty sure every one made this one perhaps they could have been a little bigger and a few more and staggered some more
The reverse over the logs … good section got the LWB’s in a knot hahahaha
Then the cross up log … this could have been a lil bigger perhaps on more of an angle
Over to the sissors Great obstical … as far as I know only one person drove this and it was a fluke hahaha in a hilux his first go and that was it … the cruiser with the claws on didn’t even get over it with out hitting pegs, the next obsticals were quite easy
Tested out the suspension travel on these with a few people tryin a few hits on the loud pedal , few people getting crossed up and getting wheels off the ground and into the crab holes these were nice and deep giving a few people a scare diving over getting the back wheels off the ground then the final section of the tracks a small hill with a steep drop off then into the tyres FULL NOISE needed here for most to get through and the corner with the mud and out …. Was a great weekend
Spesh seeing 700hp races getting crossed up

great weekend for all
