[Wilesy]

Yeah,

I was there on the weekend actually. They have some good tracks to give the motorcross bikes a real workout ::)

I spend many a Sunday in those parts 8)

The Trials are on 6th & 7th of November.

I'm in as a navvie (hoping I won't have to get out and pack rocks & stuff :-\ ) and of course for the social aspects of the event (i.e. Fri & Sat nights ;D 8) )

'turbo gu', just remember to be nice to the Blue Mtns guys ;)

for spectating, generally sunday has the better events

[taziiy]

I was just about to ask the same ? about what day would be better ;D

[turbo gu]

Is there a preferrence to which is the better day to go? Saturday or Sunday.

both days ;D saturday has the longer,tougher tracks where sundays are shorter but easier to see all of the events

last year sunday had the wombat holes, a mud event, a bit of an all terrain course and the crowd favourite the stairway to hell, im going for the whole weekend, heading up on friday arvo ;D

[HnM]

PS Anyone got directions or can verify mine??
I'm thinkin I just go up the new england, take the golden highway turn off, then turn off onto the Putty road and keep goin til I find a sign or something, not sure how far it is from the turn off???

if you get on the putty rd you should find it ok, they normally have a trailer or a sign with a flashing light out the front, im coming in from the other end of the putty rd, its about 65kms from windsor coming from the southern end of the putty rd

[Muzza]

I kept an eye out for ya Paul but you must blend into the crowd. I didn't do a boxer-shorts run today so you wouldn't have seen me anyway. I caught up with Taziiy, HLM and Lachie plus a few from www.outerlimits4x4.com. Was a great day apart from that damn skin-peircing sun ;D

[Humpy]

I was looking out for you guys too, I must have been standing within 5m of Taz judging by some of his photos.

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album305/aae.jpg

Edit: Photo added, No similarity to any of Taz's photos

[HnM]

We where next to the wombat holes most of the day, thus the sunburn. You shoulda organised a uhf channel, see ya at the meetup though ;D

[taziiy]

Yeah but that didnt really work because it changed :(

[Humpy]

you were gonna be on uhf 20 but I left the radio in the zook and took the crummydore.

Probably half my time was at the wombat holes too, Im suprised we didnt see each other. I wasnt trying to hide, usually when someone rolled Id wander over to have a closer look

[taziiy]

we where proberly standing next to each other and didnt even relise it ;D :o

[Humpy]

Is that you guys standing above the snorkel?

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album305/aaf.jpg

[taziiy]

no i think we were a little more left i had on a bright orange t-shirt should of stood out

[Humpy]

Really I worked that out from one of your photos, Oh well.

Heres one for Roe to aspire to.

mmmmmmmmmmmm *grabs the tissues and heads for some privacy* ;)

ive got a heap of photos too, ive got heaps from sat. and sun, ill post mine tonight. ;D

[rogue]

was a very fun weekend except for the loooong waits between tracks and recoverys etc.

Its funny how your driving style changes when theres only one shot at each obstacle , next year if i get to compete again i think i will upgrade to some thing different from my 31" retread muddies ;D

the weather and every thing was perfect and the crowd was great , didn't come accross to many ( i could do better than that but i couldn't be bothered types) but i did meet a few.

all in all i couldn't have asked for a better 1st competion to compete in

cheers to the nissian club for putting it on (just find a real recovery team next year ;D) and be good if there was some more crawling type stages too but hey its your comp, cheers jai

[et4runner]

Have to agree with Rogue; loooong waits between events (some confusion meant we waited four and a half hours to do our first event) and the recoveries added to the delays.

Everyone is an expert afterwards, and while I don't like to be critical of the TLCC guys (they volunteer to do a job others won't touch), there were situations where recovery vehicles perhaps could have been better placed, and a little more urgency shown. I know they assess situations carefully (safety first of course), but I watched a couple of recoveries that were, to be honest, ballsed up.

Again there would have been less recoveries if some of the courses were more sporting (the Open/Outlaw wombat holes course for example: most tipped over in the second hole). But the crowds love that action, so do some competitors, but others don't think it's fair on driver or vehicle to present something that is virtually impossible.

I competed as a navi and the marshalls and officials were all great with us, no complaints there. We also had no issues personally with recoveries.

I'd love to drive it ;D

BTW, I must have been right next to Humpy when he snapped the white 80 in the water!

[Humpy]

Does the navvie actually do anything?

I saw a few giving the driver distances to obstacles on his left but most just sat there as a passenger

I think the event would be better for both spectators and competitiors if you were allowed more than 1 attempt and could have the navvie giving directions from outside the car

et4runner, you would have been standing next to my dad when that photo was taken, I was over near the backhoe

a bit too hard core i reckon

[et4runner]

Does the navvie actually do anything?
Not if we can help it ;D I walked the tracks with my driver the Friday, we discussed lines etc, and formed plans and strategies, then threw them out the window on the weekend! But seriously, I let my pilot go for it, with occasional hand signals or direction calls, and lots of encouragement.

Thats the whole idea.... ;)

Probably right, but then it would take longer to run. I think they got the 'back & fills' about right. Me being out of the car wouldn't have made too much difference.

[taziiy]

i went on the sunday and as HLM said it was mostly roll over after roll over

it was good to catch up with some other forum members, i ran into Taziiy and high and mighty, i missed you though Humpy, im sure there was others there too, if only pat and the crew would give us some 4wd monthly forum hats, that way we could spot one another easily ;D

I think in some cases it would have taken longer, but if you could pick a better line more trucks would get through, and the recovery time would be less.

A good navie giving directions would have saved numerous rolls in the wombat holes
