Yandina Gymkana 12-14th of June (Queens Bday)

[Twisty]

They mentioned that the Yandina Gymkana was on the Queens Bday Long Weekend out at LCMP last weekend, so thought I'd see who's planning to go.

It's a bugger the Forum meetup at Rover Park is on the same weekend but.

[mudlux]

Yes I will be there, have been every other year, but I am going to enter this year.
It will be my first time I have entered in a offroad event so should have some fun.
Went out to offroad expo 2004 for a look see first time to, and will be entering next year.
Did not see you out there, and couldn't even get you on UHF 39, sorry.
Will be on UHF 24 at Yandina so give us a yell, and maybe you can give us a few pointers on getting a 2 1/2 tonne truck around a gymkana track quick as.
They have a class for 2.9 L and under, so I will be in that class. I will be running against zooks ect so will have to flog the crap out of it and get big air over the first jump.

SOUNDS LIKE FUN SEE YOU THERE !

i wouldn't mind racing at that either but it's getting a bit close to the short course champs round 2 so i'll be busy getting my rig ready for that. i said to myself last year that i'd be racing in it this year but i'll have to put it off another year.

[kitch76]

I might go for a look see, my mate rolly78 is up that way so I will ditch my mrs with his and go up hopefully!!

We had the handheld with us on 39 most of the time. Actually some time during the weekend, can't remember when, we were told to get off 39 as they were using it for competition use, so that could have been why?? Will deffinetly catch up at Yandina :D

Is there a website or anything for it that lists the events and classes??

I'll should be able to get hold of one if you need it.....Let us know closer to the event if you have no luck getting another one before then...

[Bundy]

Where is it being held this year I have not been there in the past normally go out to LCMP but might do this year might even enter

[Twisty]

It's at Yandina ;D

You come up the BRuce Highway and take the second Nambour exit so you come in past the touch footy ovals and have Barnes High Performance on your right. When you get to the lights and have toyota on the opposite corner head straight ahead and keep following that road till you see all the trucks......

I think I got that right, there's usally signs up too I think....

Someone correct me if I'm wrong ??? I was wrong, see MUDLUX's post below....I was drinking the whole time I went to it last year and the missus was driving, whoops!!!

[Bundy]

Too easy thanks twisty

[Twisty]

No worries mate, we'll have to catch up for a beer or 6 out there. We usally stay one of the nights as they have a pretty good kick arse bomb fire....

[Bundy]

Ok what UHF Channel will you be on?? Ill have to get another hand held as my last one was stolen out of my GFs car the other week.

And should have new wheels by then ;D

[Twisty]

We are usally on 39, but if it gets real busy we go down 1 or 2, but should be on 39.

So what's your new wheels like? or are you still looking?

[Bundy]

Its a 89 Bundera TD So not much diff to what I have now but its got a 3" suspension lift 2" Body Lift and 35" Muddies with winch twin airlockers and the usual other things so im looking forward to giving it a work out ;D

Very wrong twisty he will end up at Mapelton that way.
Go the next exit north { Coolum/ Yandina exit }follow into yandina [signs} straight through the lights [ only set ? ] follow to T & turn left {west} this is a winding road that goes to Coolooibin dam but u will see a s/load of trucks before u get that far {approx 6 km from Yandina}.
Now it's $10 to watch and $20 to compete. If competing the nomination tent will be open friday night and early Sat morning, u can nominate for all events if u wish, but to enter u must get a extended CTP insurance cover for racing,from your nominated CTP insurer on your rego slip, also u need to wear a helmate.
If u drive a soft top u need a cage. They also do a saftey check.
For any more info, or to check if this info is correct, phone the above numbers from my previous post.
Thanks for the offer for a helmate Twisty I will keep it in mind if I can not get one, the cheapest one at Cash Converters was $120.

[kitch76]

Seehite I paid less than that for a brand spankers one a few years back. It might be worth a look at the local bike shop?

Whoops, the turns are probly in the same direction, just too far south....sorry guys!! Mudlux's discrptiion sounds a lot better!!!

[Twisty]

Just thought I'd wet some people apetites!!!

The jump in the gymkana, some crazy pajero driver that likes the go pedal, what a champ!!!

[mudlux]

I asked in one of my earlier posts, if maybe you could give me some driving advice for the Gymkana. Is this the way you would like me to drive?
If so egg me on.. On uhf ch 24 on the day, and I will see what I can do.

[Twisty]

Driving Advice?

Foot flat to the floor, hang on the best you can ;D ;D

[baby_troupe]

As long as there are 4 black round things under you & it still runs, keep going.
If that changes, then I guess you will stop :P

[kitch76]

Isn't that bitsa the supercharged one that was a Lcmp the other weekend.

[2 BRUTAL]

i don't know if the mad pajero driver will have his rig back on the road in time. it's a super charged 3l V6 running nitros apparently. i heard he cracked the block at LMP the other weekend. just a little to much boost. he gives that thing a canning and he can't kill it. well almost not kill it. he has bent a few steering arms doing this though.
Go the PAJERO. :D

[Yetti]

yea i will try to make it there ;D

[luxute]

Can't make it that weekend, the winternationals are on that weekend and have to go to that!

[Twisty]

Yes I will be there, have a helmate now,so I will be racing.
Just have to take it easy as I am going to Morten the following week,so I plan only to get 3ft of air over the jump not 10ft like the Pajero.
Will be on uhf 24, see you there.

[kitch76]

Should be there Saturday only spectating

[Bundy]

Aiming to get there one of the days as Im up Double Island trying to catch some fish and beers in the esky but will keep a look out for you guys if I do go.

[mudlux]

Can anyone tell me what time we can enter in the morning I think it starts at 9am.

[KPax]

Dave

[mudlux]

Ok after the first day I almost put the lux on it's roof, wen't to fast into a corner and up she went right to the point of balance, before crashing down to earth.
What supprises me is I still floged it for the rest of the course, must have been the adreilin rush or something. Can't wait for todays racing to start, I'm hooked.

[FREAK]

Go hard at it son, sounds like fun you lucky buggers :'(
