Well done to everyone!

Well what a crapper of a weekend. Can only report on the Trophy class as I didn’t see much of Challenge class. What I did see of was pretty mad and I will put up one or pics of it later.

Track 1, First truck enters, gets to the 200 point mark, gets stuck. Second truck enters same thing. I enter have one go, bad line. Correct line have second go nearly make it. Then the judge stops me and calls the track off saying it is to hard, and they changed the start. On the restart I drove the whole track easierly only hitting one cone on a shocker of a climb that claimed a lot other trucks. I tied for third as two trucks got through without touching a cone.

The second track was good and I got third, with Aaron in the white one getting a tie for first. At this point there were third trucks on equal first with me on outright 1st on points alone.

Saturday night, we had to have shoot outs for the two tied positions. This is when I dislocated my shoulder and was the end of my weekend

Andyman,

why didn't you just slam it back into place on the bonnet of the Jeep Lethal Weapon style ??

Here are some pics,

1st one is Fish, you can see the original start that they canned.



Next one is Aaron, at Fish's fav part of this track.



Darren on a slightly different angle (Watch for the vid with him a little further up the hill )



Me on Track 2



Here some pics to get you southerners to come up and have a go at challenge class.

canned the start because it is a big drop off? is that the bad bit?
and that giant racing truck looks pretty flash hey.
