Ruff you you have a pm. Your best bet is to ring Shane and have a chat to him.

Post by **RUFF** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 8:04 pm

I spoke to Shane not even 2 weeks ago and its all full steam ahead.

Post by **RUFF** » Mon Sep 01, 2003 9:29 pm

We spoke to Jamie Smith last week also and he said its all go.

Your not thinking of Willowglen are you?

Post by **Old Yella** » Mon Sep 01, 2003 9:54 pm

Thanks guys, we were told that Woodpecker and Willowglenn were both off because of insurance reasons, but Nissan Trials was on. I will relay the message.

Post by **DX80** » Tue Sep 02, 2003 7:12 pm

I can assure Woodpecker is ON. Willowglen is cancelled due to insurance.

woodpecker - that is a penalty based event and not timed correct?

so the aim is to get on the track and DRIVE IT no stopping no recovery :?:

how long would it take to drive down there from brisbane?

Bubs you need a team of two, who would be your assailant. :twisted:

not to my knowledge. last year there were a few trucks running 44's

The Woodpecker is a timed event you can winch or snatch but you lose points , it's a team event so two cars are on the track at once, there are no classes or tyre limits. There are prizes for the best 3 individual scores but the comp is mainly about the best teams and the clubs total score, each Club has 4 trucks entered.

Post by **RUFF** » Sat Sep 27, 2003 10:48 pm

So come on Jamie and the Allcost boys cant be the only team from this site entering. I know of others here that are entering so come on speak up

Post by **MissDrew** » Sun Sep 28, 2003 11:20 am

I am teamed up with cheezy then the other 2 rigs in our team of 4 are an 80 series cut down to a ute with a 454 big block in it and I don`t know what the 4th rig is.

Woodpecker does have a clock ticking while you are competing but the time only comes into it if 2 4x4s finish on the same penalties. The way this event is run is you get 3 goes at an obstical if needed, if you don`t get it on your 3rd go you are OUT. The best way to do this event is to try and drive it the 1st time then if you can`t get it you have another go if you still can`t drive it then you basicly have to winch it or you are taking a big risk of not being able to drive it on your 3rd go and being OUT!!!!!!!!

There is NO tyre limit at this event. Its just one class for all.

There is prizes for 1st to 3rd for singles, teams of 2 and teams of 4.

Last year we got 3rd single and 3rd in the teams of 2 but nothing in team of 4.

Cool what were the prizes like?

Post by **MissDrew** » Sun Sep 28, 2003 8:10 pm

For the 2 3rd placings we got.

tree trunck protector
extention strap
bunge strap
tubeless tyre repair kit, plug type.
complete black rat recovery kit, has bag and 1 of each strap plus gloves etc.
Plus both driver and navi got a troughy, so all up we got 6.
