I'd like to compete in it as a warm up to the bigger comps later this year, but alas, my Jeep is too big (5" lift max) and too locked (must have open diffs). So I may come along and watch.

[TIGGER]

just read the rules......if you have ARB's can you just leave them unlocked?

[maddog]

Rules also say max 5" lift though, including both spring and body lifts. I'm over 6.5" combined. :(

I was going to enter the CJ in stock class but I have other commitments that weekend

Should be a good weekend though

You should enter the CJ8 Martin

[billsta]

[resident e]

i mite give it ago, but it saids no limited slip diffs. but the tj comes with one so can u still enter.

[Willy]

The Cherokee Club is heading down for this weekend and have about 6 Jeeps entered in the comp. Should be a fun weekend!!

[mattc]

but it saids no limited slip diffs.

I think is says no shimmed LSDs which as I understand means no modding the LSD to behave more like a locker.

[AJ]

i'll be there, but only to watch. :shock: Want to see how the comp works. Should be a good weekend though. Penguin

[4speed]

Cherokee Club still going?

I have'nt heard anything from anyone after the entry fee mix up

[Wooders]

Last year the Jeeps cleaned up in this event - So it really would be good to see more there this year.
Unfortunately I'm out of town :evil: - or I'd enter the missus stocker volvo >:) .....
Anyhow go, compete, spectate & cheer.....Go the Jeeps :!:

Not this one they didnt Wooders

You are thinking the one held down near Goulburn this is the one at the Nissan trails site


The one you are think of is on around about the 2nd week of Sept

Ops technically correct - but this comp is being run by a splinter of the same group and it's tagetting the same level (ie relatiovely stocker).

Here's an email I recieved earlier today from them......

Subject: CrawlerKhana 04 where are you

Last year many of your club members attended the OffRoad4x4 ClubKhana and to
quote Karen Mulquiney "I'm sure there will be heaps more Jeeps next
year".
Well after that event 1/2 of the OffRoad4x4 club walked out and formed the
Oz Rock Crawlers due to how the money raised was not put back into next
years event.

So why this e-mail, well the OffRoad4x4 ClubKhana current members lack the
experience to run an event and maybe that is why they have not secured an
venue even though they had announced the event,collected entry fees and had
to postponed the event until they can secure a venue. But there is light at
the end of the tunnel.

Mannell Motors CrawlerKhana 04
a.. 9 ALL driving events, no need to get out of vehicle to build a stupid
puzzle. We cater to physically impaired and less agile competitors,
currently 1 amputee and 4 deaf competitors.
b.. 1st and 2nd prize for every event for all 3 classes plus 2 overall
winners, that's 56 trophies and prizes
c.. Clubs that have not competed for years are coming to our event. So a
chance to meet old acquaintances or make new ones. See our website for the
current list
d.. 4WDTV are filming the event for TV and a video/dvd
e.. Ride for Charity, ALL money collect will be donated to Ronald
McDonald House Charities. Get to take a spin in Dobbin Engineering (current
Tuff Truck Champion) as well as other big 4WD's and if you buy 3 ticked for
$13 you get a free BigMac and a Coke (if Coke come on board)
f.. Seperate male and female flushing toilets in the campground, what a
plus for the women (flushing that is, although some bloke don't aim so well)
g.. An event catering to standard and slightly modified 4WD's, so
Wranglers would perform well
So seeing that last year Karen Mulquiney, Wendy Guillaume, Corriene Karam,
Will Parker, Paul Anderson, Fred Rahn, Geert Elzinga and Basil Alexander had
so much fun and won HEAPS of prizes, I wonder why we have seen no entries
from your clubs. Possibly you were not aware of our event. Not knowing their
personal e-mail addresses could you pass on this e-mail for me as there is
still time to get entries in.

There is heaps of info and entry form on our website

So overlooking the obvious internal issues they might be dealing with - IMHO it is these type of events that are seriously in need of our support and it's these sorts of events that are enjoyable by all 4x4ers not just the howmuchmoneyhaveyougots ;)

BTW they said that to participate you must be a member of a 4x4club (although not required to spectate)....if you are not a financial member of a club, they are offering provisional membership for $20......

Comeon Jeepers!!! **)
