Nissan Trails

Post by <=CookiE=> »

i was just looking throught old photos from last years nissan trail and was wondering does anyone else think it has become a completion where you go to destroy your car for example Shane Barlow and his 80 series and many more breakages

what do you think

i will be attempting to enter for my first time this year, and at the moment, i dont think it is a comp where you go to destroy your car, we all know accidents can happen if you pick the wrong line and so on.
There will always be a risk involved when competing in any sort of competition.

I agree with other 2 replies.

Ive competed in the last 5 or 6 nissan trials and its upto the individual as to how hard you drive. if you drive sensibly but dont finnish the track big deel, better than driving like a tool like some do and wrecking a car that you prob cant afford to fix.

if you can afford to get it fixed or dont need it for work on monday, then you can have a harder go if you want, but remember that at any time the drivers can stop if they wanted to.

Barlows was bad luck, having said that; the more comps you compete in and the more often you use your rig the more likely you are to eventually damage or wreck it.

On another note: was your business running then & if so do you have any good pics of my rig? pic below:

Nissan Trials = no winching :armsup:

As was already said , you only have to drive as hard as you want so if you destroy it tis only one person to blame >

comps are about strategy - both driving technique and rig setup...
screw one of them up and you could land on your lid or break something.
