lol.

I'll be popping in for a day, prob on Sat crewing for Paul Grant.

What about you slow?  U running?

slow will be there azteck is getting the car prepaired  and all is good

I'll be up there, not with the car though unfortunately.
Still licking the wounds from our crash at Colo last year.

May I take this opportunity to congratulate the HVORRA for the very low
entry fee this year....well done, lets hope that it attracts a big entry list.
I also hope that other clubs can look at reducing their entry fees also!

First time out for his new one( The Project car)

All right guys...

racer - well done on 2nd mate.  first finish at Milbrodale too!  top stuff.
Slow - Well done mate!  On the last lap I gave you a cheer, then I remembered that I hate you and chucked a  banana skin on the track in front of you.  :p
1887 - hats off to chest-clutcher!  2 years out of the seat and comes in with a top 10 in a car that was being very, very nursed!  (yes we heard the very long shift time (fully depressed granny shifts), the fact that you never got near the rev limiter).  You could tell it was being looked after, but it was still pretty quick for that!
Baja - troubles on Sat, but a decent race none-the-less?
Paul - race finish mate!  woowoowoo!
DirtDrifter...  hard luck at start of long course mate...  what happened?
HeyU - bloody great to see out at a track other than colo!  hope you had fun (until cracking into tebba that is)
Tebba - how was it going before you got smacked in the arse... before you got smacked int he arse again?
936 (errr... 196 now isnt it?) what happened mate?  I got there on Sunday and when I went lookin gfor you at lunch somebody said you'd bolted already.
Brad - Ouch mate...  Hope all is good for the finke assault!
Tim352 - Gearbox mate?  Rock, embankment or driver stupidity?  haha!  (yes yes, I'll give myself an uppercut mate!)
Simon - No brakes and stuck throttle make for somthing go ouch!
Paul (Grant) - I had fun learning about how a broken axle gets removed from a full floating 9" when the bearing stub becomes suddenly oval!  3 hours an angle grinder and a broken hammer later the freak'n fuel tank split!  Tough day, car looked brilliant though.
Adam - In an event where there was only 10sec in prologue splitting 3rd to 21st it must be tough to go out of the event so early on Saturday...
Well done also to JT & Chloe (At least I think Chloe was in the Nav seat) for 7th outright and 2nd in class!
To Jeff and Laurence Cripps for 11th outright and 2nd in class!
To Shane Filip and David Cook, 18th outright (Car looked quick when I saw it, must have had problems at some stage I guess???)
Hard Luck to Dick, Bob and Ashley, Alex, Simon, Brad and any other club member who didnt fare so well. Dick and Alex triked back to the pit, Bob and Brad both took on mother nature and lost, not sure about the others.

There were lots of displays of speed over the weekend... but it was definatly a weekend where endurance and a cool head played its part in the leader board with many fancied cars on the trailer by the events end.

*edit - fixed some speeeling and inconsequential grammatical anomolies.*

sorry, cant help with skill or common sense...  See-through glasses can be purchased on EBay though.  :)

RE cars that didnt move out of the way during long course - want to name names?

RE the tyres - was the one that dirtdrifter and johnson hit new? moved? or the one that was alway there?

all i will say is that thay have deen racing for years and thay must not have gone to drivers briefing  

Wasn't me, I wasn't there!!!

But its happened to me, and I'm sure its happened to others, and guess what, it will happen to all of us again.

Goes to show how important it is to get in a good prologue ....and to check ones fuel levels....1600 engines don't need much, but they do need some.

Perhaps we could use the devices used in the Dakar for the past few years. When a car is approching from behind, it activates a warning light on the dash board of the car being caught.


Dirtdrifter.....Sounds like we have some more good content for Dezert People 5
Sorry to hear there is so much damage to the car...hope it doesn't take as long to fix as its taken to fix mine...


936....If any of us had common sense or skill, would we be racing off-road?


Wolf.... can't find those see through glasses on ebay...can you help?

the basic car seems to have held up ok, same with myself. i will no more when i take the motor and box out what is going to spring out of shape. but there wont be enough time or fun stuff in my wallet to make kempsey, should be good by warialda.

For those curious as the size of DD's crunch the MMC pics are now on www.offroadracing.com.au.  Check out the last 2 sets from Jamin Forest.

Good shots Jamin - Cheers!  I didnt even see you there mate!

FORUM MENACE, i wish my car could do 240, as for not being at milbrodale my car is getting a motor and gearbox transfer after damaging a gearbox at croookwell

 

DD sorry to see the photos of your car, it looked like it was going well before the crash, main thing is you were able to walk away,shows the value of a strong frame. If you decide to make that DVD put me down for one
