Yep, but between kids and buggy racing/maintaining I havent been doing much. Last ride was Face Memorial ride months ago, next one will be Chrissy Bash in the Wattos. What about you ?

I think it might be combined with the rally? Separate event though! Same story, things are changing, off road needs to advance and some clubs are not keeping up! Same as trophykarts, the future requires things are not available right now! Who's to say it's all bad?

yeah bits here and there, got the tm all tarted up, thinking ill do a few state round enduro's though. whaere do you live in newy? you in that area? im from maitland.
I ran an event at coffs with monster last time it was on and its going to be interesting to see how they think they are going to run it along side the WRC. Apparently they want to run the offroad cars on the special stage in town, if they run a similar track to last time its going to be a joke watching buggies and trucks get around it, it was tight enough as it was going around there in a golf buggy and to tell you the truth even the wrc cars didnt look impressive going around the special stage, not to mention its all bitumen. Does anyone have any idea who will be running this event and where the race track is going to be located? This event has the potential to bring offroad racing to the attention of many people, it also has the potential to make us look like a joke, i hope the get it right.
Danny a few years back a bunch of NSW buggys were invited to i think an AUST rally champ round in the A.C.T. I wasn't there but i think the story goes they matched the buggy guys against the rally guys in the special stage and the buggys absolutely smashed the rally guys, they didn't get another invite back.
Hopefully they give us the type of track we can race on not just for 4x4 drive lines to get around .

I was told today that there were 'RUMORS' going around at Nabaic that Coffs will be limited to 40 cars and by invite only. Can any one confirm this? Who decides the cars that are invited?
All i know is if i wanted to race on rally tracks against rally cars i would have brought a rally car. Can some one please inlighten us on what is going to be going on at Coffs next year?
If that is the case I hope they put out the invites before the first National. Waste of time going to the others races, if unable to run at all events.
Heard the same story on th weekend that only the top 40 cars in Aorc points will be allowed to run, not sure if it's true but the guy who told me is somebody that is a pretty reliable source. And also that the offroaders will be racing on the same 20km stages as the rally cars and will have to be picked up at the end of the stage and transported back to the start area as they aren't road registered . Sounds like fun !

I hope your right Blacky and its just a rumor because this year the entries have been Sea Lake - 114, Gundi - 69, Pines - 75. So cutting that to 40 would mean alot of people would miss out and i'd take it that NSW state racers wouldn't be invited if its only 40 cars. Lets just hope that it is just a RUMOR and some one who knows what is going on can confirm what is really happening and soon to stop the rumors.
So if you break down the numbers, there are say five cars from every class, do you really think they are going to have only five Pro class cars on show,

I remember going to that as a kid when dad had the single seater. It was at the big showground in Canberra, and yea the buggy kicked the rally cars arse. And I'm pretty sure Possum Bourne was there... I remember being in the "pits" well the back stage sort of area and seeing him and getting all little kid school girl. My friend that I dragged along had no idea what I was on about...
If it's anything like it was back then it'll be awesome. But that was in an arena sort of setting.
