Yeh ofcourse we all have heard of one, but concidering it was said that it was hell deap and a snorkel may not be enough, thats not all that conforting

And not all the cars will have snorkels, im in standard for example and i dont have $400 tto throw at one at the moment. And im sure others will be in the same boat :cool:

Normaly it is only deep if you go out to wide around the back of the left side loop.

The right side loop gets to about sill deep in my lux (rooster height) if you go in the same spot as every body else.

Well ive never been out to Nissan Trials, Ive been to the last 3 woodpeckers, willoglens and the 2 tuff trucks and jamborees but for some reason ive never been to a nissan trials so i have no idea about the events or deep spots :roll:

Ben be carefull going under the cab and out the back with your air intake. Its not hard to get a small leak in a low section and if you get stuck its going to fill up real quick with water.

I watched a guy do this once before and it was all fine and running well after comming out of water but as soon as he reved the engine hard it sucked a heap up out of the bottom and locked the motor.

I would only make it go up from the intake. Maybe run it back into the wiper cowl.

We had a pump going flat out for six hours last Sunday and was left to syphon for the rest of the week. We will set pumps going again when we get down there Thur / Fri. We also need to pump the wombat holes 'cause if ya fall over in there at the moment...you'll drown!
It'll be right on the day....

All teams...
Your information packs and track notes will be waiting for you at the entry gate. Team managers are expected to pick these up. A substitute can pick them up and will sign them out to eliminate confusion.

Pray for fine weather, good luck to you all and see you all out there...
