The turn out this year was dissapointing but the show must go on. A very enjoyable weekend and was one of the most technical and difficult comps we have had yet. Only three trucks were still running by the end of the comp and only one truck fully completed both courses. The points differences were very spaced apart. Course one Russell 355 Jim 345 Ben 265 Jamie 165 Bob -25 DNF Freak -60 DNF Course two Russell 390 Ben 140 DNF Freak 90 DNF Jamie 35 DNF Bob -35 DNF Jim -45 DNF Fianal results Russell 1st 745 Ben 2nd 405 Jim 3rd 300 Jamie 4th 200 Freak 5th 30 Bob 6th -60 Pics to follow ,very tight ,technical with a splash of steepness ,off camber and very interesting aspects . |

This is for the girls that didn't come... some of course 1 The water section, see us Vics will rub off on you too.. This is the wall on the right of the top pic. Jamie getting crossed up Some of the climbs and decents.. Clodrover getting way sideways, poped a beadlocker off at the bottom of this drop. Eveyone had some air under the tyres. Sorry to the other guys, I don't have any pics of your trucks. Darn batteries. |

Nice pics! I couldn't make it this year :neutral: and those rocks look very grippy and very steep! also, why did 5 of the trucks DNF on one of the second course?

That terrain looks KILLER. I love all the offcamber and crazy steep stuff. Too bad more people didn't show up, looks like they really missed out on some good stuff. Great Pics clodossal. |

Thanks Guys, Twisted would have a point, if only he could drive himself... By the end of the day only 3 trucks were still running, mine, Jims and Russell. The DNF for myself (2nd) and Jim (3rd) were due to time out, the last gate was a killer. The rest were well, broken.. |

Thanks guys, it's not that far. No X, it took my fiance and I about 5.5 hours , 2 hours on a plane and a 3.5 hour drive from Newcastle. Fun crawlin, some good blokes + 5 days on the coast with the missus that sounds like a holiday to me mate. What else do you do for easter break? Last edited by clodossal; 04-01-2005 at 10:48 AM. |
