[perko88]

i told ya that they needed a toyota in there mosko so the old yellow girl is getting stripped of any extra weight it can and is going in for a laugh.. gotta have someone shake up the nissan drivers hey

[Mosko111]

Good stuff Perko!! The yellow rig will love the track!!
Cant wait to get up there and check this race out! will be a good day

[digsy]

Theres heaps going on Steveo! Don't you worry about that!

Although like I said before - do I detect a man crush with the swaffield???

There is still plenty of interest in this comp around the traps. We have had some good interest from local business's saying that everyone is talking about this 'DirtsprintZ' event and wanting to know more...

That's a good sign for the offroad community as a whole! There is still plenty of interest in offroading and the sport which is great!

I can't give too many other secrets away... but I am in the office working triple time to get everything sorted out!

It's going to be one hell of a Saturday!

[xjsteve]

hey good to hear theres a lot of hype, im looking forward to a good weekend. and i wouldnt call it a man crush, just respect where respect is due digsy. hell i might even put 50 on the old whitey on the day

[Joshie_C]

You train drivers make to much if you got coin like that to splash around... And 11 days and counting, bring it on!! Been getting my vocals warmed up and by the sounds of mud bulls on the weekend the lads have their cars warmed up and hot to trot like americian in the Melbourne Cup!!

[digsy]

Some super spy pics of the back of DirtsprintZ merchandising cap!

We've locked in some lovely ladies to rock these and a few of the other merchandising gear out!

We have put in a special order of KidZ DirtsprintZ tattoos!!!!
I really hope they turn up on time!

Everything is coming together well! But it's all coming up fast too!

Cheers
Danny

no2 in class 8 these guys are national champions and will be great to
compete against them !

[POW84]

hows the track work going bouys?? the line up is awesome cant...

[digsy]

Hey Powly

Track work is going well with Marcus, Billy Geddes and AMCOR Excavations (Corey Howell) working overtime in the lead up to DirtsprintZ on all the little things that need to be completed.
Spectator areas, Track Bunding, mowed/cleared walkways!
There's an awful lot of workin running an event!
Good fun too but!!

We are still getting heaps of interest from competitors, including a few more 'interested' phone calls for buggies from Bris area!
But the big news is the confirmation that Russell Mason is nominated!
I'm pretty excited about this cause you know there's another possibility for the outright!
It's gonna be a crazy fast pack at the front!!

[Giggles83]

Well the inter team heckling is well and truly underway for the event. Been on night shift with Ab and every chance he gets been puttin the hard lines on Na (nathan armstrong).
But dont fear the young fella hasnt let mild spoken Ab get the better of him too much. Couple of witty retorts on his behalf have Ab stopped in his tracks. Surprised there hasnt been a little more of that on here.....

[troyten]

WITH LOWMEAD PREP IN FULL SWING ON THE 20TH TNT RACING WONT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT THIS TIME BUT WE HOPE TO BE IN NEXT YEAR WE WILL ALL HAVE TO GET TOGETHER TO WORK OUT OUR DATES FOR NEXT YEAR SO WE CAN ALL DO AS MUCH RACING AS POSSABLE IN CQ, WE ARE KICKIN ASS IN THE GROWTH OF OFFROAD MOTOR SPORT IN QLD AND IT WOULD BE GOOD TO SEE IT CONTINUE TO GROW IN LEAPS AND BOUNDS. LOOKIN FOWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL DOWN AT LOWMEAD BRING ON THE PHOTOS AND STORIES OF ALL THE FUN OF THE DIRT SPRINTS CANT WAIT TO HEAR HOW IT ALL WENT .

[potsy bryant]

[Beno85]

Humming !
Swaff

[Giggles83]

hmm. Been tryin not many people takin the bait of late.

Well ive heard of a few tactics and pre planned excuses for the event have sprung through already.

Ol man 383 doin another ratio change and running on wheel barrow wheels. Someone may need to run in to target and grab a few spares off a trolley if he gets a puncture.
The wheel man mason has finally stepped up and nominated for dirtsprintz. Will have to see how the poor old custom ltr's handle 4 mins of abuse. As long as he dont get too excited heading out to the event and chucka leg outa bed in the poor old block again.

Na is already running with gearbox dramas. Runnin off excuses like bein unable to downshift at speed bla bla bla.

Beatles cage hopefully turns up tuesday so he'll be weldin flat out to get that in. Nothin like last minute shit to get ya amped.

Ab is installing a cage into young neatons wagon as we speak. He's that confident he's workin on someone elses car. Just a bit of late nite shock and bumpstop tuning during the week to sort him out.

Young cory is holding that much hp in check under the bonnet of his little white lady that its being kept under raps by the tunning team. Maybe we need a lotto to pick in 10hp lots 10 dollars buy in to be anounced at the event?

Swaff's tunnin Ab's old girl. Hoping for around 220 at the treads on the 5.7. Probly while roundy swings spanners on the old bee.

Billy will probly be slapping in a new rear diff and some brush rails outa 40mm solid to keep him outa the trees.

Chapmans are probly sippin a latte down the sunny coast laughin at the cq hick workin on their cars

Ken barrel is trialling a sling to hold his right arm in the car then off the door. While missus barrel gets in some practice since he's outa the seat for 5 mins.

Marcus Nuutinen is probly chasin a new block. I hear those jeeps have a bad habbit of over heating at the most random of intervals. How long can you hold a limiter.

Yeah well theres my attempt at some smack talk instigation

[Giggles83]

oh and mosko has a spare winch if any of the competitors need one KAPATUH

[Mosko111]

And Giggles is trialing some new Balsa wood arms for the middy, supposively they will be stronger then he last attempt at building a strong set.....

[Mosko111]

Oh and does anyone own a trailer that would fit a car thats 2mtrs 50 wide??

On the way to DirtSprintz might go and WINCH giggles car in half.....

[digsy]

That's about SPOT ON Giggles from what I can tell...! Lol

I'll give you guys all a big update tomorrow cause Billy, Cory and the A.T.C boys have been grooming track all weekend!

Gotta wash the dust off tonight!

The bots have worked MAGIC!

[Beno85]

HAHAH spot on giggles with the updates your all over it..
Swafftec good on you can an will tune I can't wait to pick the old girl up tommorrow after work chuck a bit of nitrogen in the shocks an stops an go for a sting an see the difference a tune will make.
Young Neaton's cage is coming along the young fella cant wait to do a skid in the big green wagon...
Am so keen for Dirtsprintz bring it on...
AB

[sswaffie]

Hahahahahahahahaha giggles you know us all too well!!!!!! i was pissing my
self the whol way through that ..... Bang On Young fella!!
