 So who might be going?
 What date is it on? Is it still on?

 I am getting the chooks out of the car and having a run (first race in 16 months), might be a good prolite field if a few others pull their fingers out! (Slow, Ottey, Simpson, Nikiforoff, Jimbo...more?)

 Was that a hint of Aztek running? (in his nabiac report)
 Maybe the Jarvi/Zettle car?
 Horsfalls?
 Crookwell clan? Whatever happened to the trucks they were building?

260's still broken, should be ok for the state round & the Vesty memorial is one that we wouldn't miss. Who's going to drive the Jones car this year?

Crookwell, Crookwell, Crookwell! What about Colo in 2 weeks. The final State round, Top Gear Australia magazine up to do a story, DVD being made of the event, supporting Breast Cancer awareness and that great Colo atmosphere. Christ what else could you want?  biggrin.giffrustrated.gif

Geeeez Dusteater, sounds like you need a 'chill-pill'! lol

I would love to come up to colo, been years since I have been there, but its about a 7hr drive for me compared to crookwell being 3hrs!

Must admit, I had forgotten about colo when I started this crookwell thread....but someone else could have started a colo thread!

I think johnson racing should stay away from milbrodale next season, that way he might keep the car together and go to a colo or a crookwell :)

 Not to worry slow, the nissan V6 would have only been put to shame in the prolites at crookwell...........might as well delay the embarassment for next year!

 Will one of those nissans last 4 hours?  Hondas certainly would'nt!

 Hey Dusteater, is it OK to discuss crookwell now (that colo is over)? lol.

Wolf-why would I ever change? Yes, I am taking the egg basket! Are you taking your new buggy, or just taking photos of it.....does it really exist? 260, I think wolf 'gets it out to play with' too often!

Simpson, We'll be there saturday for a drink, I think you owe me some dont you? And dont take my camp spot on top of the hill (now that you,ve got the big gooseneck)

I hear Aztek might be racing solo?

Can we enter on the day, I dont have an entry form? (might need to ring Allports)

Be careful to park upwind of OffRoad Rush, you wouldn't want to get dust on it now.

Just a bit of a rundown--

I beat Glen Spizzo!....oh, and won outright!
Simpsons son rolled his car and damaged front shock towers.
Ottey damaged a gearbox.
Jimbo seized an engine.
David Allport blew a diff.
Mick Tori had wiring/computor problems.
Bishop/ Nikiforoff broke a rear trailing arm.
Spizzo had gearshift issues (did I mention I beat him?)
I think Dixons were having CV problems, as did Paul Allport.

The track was quite rough, hence all the driveline failures. My car went well but still got overheating issues. I had the pleasure of three navigators, Reckell (wife), Aztek, and Simpson, and had a great weekend overall!

The usuals got drunk, I went to bed too early to see any nakedness, but the whole camp was kept awake with the noise from Swan, Werner, Reckell, and Ian Irons talking into the early morning.

We decided next year that any offroader with a musical instrument will be required to create a band for musical entertainment on saturday night, so far we have--

Wayne and Dan Horsfall---dueling banjos
Dave Nikiforoff--trumpet
Ned Horsfall--guitar
David Page--guitar
Steve Taylor--flugal horn
Anthony Lia--drums
Mick Tori--drums
Dick Allport--drums
Myself--alto saxophone

Anyone interested please let me know, we need to start on a playlist so we can all practice the songs for next year (a years practice should be plenty). Everyone is welcome to join the band, (even talented people). Still need to work out a name though!
