Cal's creek chaos!
A few of us had planned an all out attempt on Cal's creek at Scenic rim.
We had along a few of the GCLRO members, and a few of the Rockhammer racing guys in a number of cars. Driving we had, Greg in his RRC, Kelvin in his D2, Grimace in his RRC, manky in his 40series truggy, Sam in his v8 D90 and me in my td5 90. A load of other helpers were there including Dave, Rod and his son Blake, Nottie, Micka, Gregs son Brendan, and a few others. This creek is pretty nasty! It resulted in me smashing the roof and alpine light on mine (despite using the winch to try and pull the car away from the tree), Grimace damaging a rear door and his roof, but Sam got the most damage, although he did get the furthest! He ended up breaking the front inner axle, (30spline toyota longfield), snapping the tailshaft, and breaking the rear cw+p  We Need to try it again with more time! A few pics!                               This is where it started to get very nasty:                    The 40, Sams 90 and Grimace had to turn around and get back out which wasnt that easy! Awesome day and night last night guys. Thanks to everyone who helped! My clutch took a bit of a hiding! may finally need to look at the gearing We only made it about 1/4 of the way aswell! Sam made it about 1/3rd of the way!

Cals Creek, (Scenic Rim 4wd Park) Beaudesert
Damn good to watch, but on first inspection of the track early in the morning, we were all not to keen to proceed with the run.
Pete was keen to at least do the first part, and then the other guys decided to follow suit. Fair bit of damage in the end, but all the guys gave it a good go  Damage count, broken Alpine window, bent roof, smashed in right rear door, another bent roof and sill, broken left tailight, punchured fuel tank, broken valve of tyre, leaking power steering line, broken tailshaft and front inner axle, crown wheel and pinnon, more right side guard and door damage, and l am sure a few more things l may of missed. 10 out of ten for effort, and yes the guys are looking at going back for another go, with a bit more time to recover the carnage. Top effort by all !!!  Glad l left my car at home this time

Looks like you blokes had fun. Glad I decided not to take the bullet through there as I would be fighting like **** with it to be quite honest (my rangie isn't really built for creek runs of that magnitude
 ).Trav
