well what can i say people

you missed a great day out well worth the 2 1/2hr journey to get there!

i have taken some video footage so as soon as i have my big computer up and running and i have found some music that doesn't have a copyright on it (so i don't get sued playing over the internet)

i will post up an edited version of what i have taken so you can all see what you missed and make a note to make sure you all go next year and camp..........

in a large group of course with a large flag or banner saying AULRO......

look forward to it again next year

Went up for the Saturday,

All in all I thought it was a pretty disjointed event. Too much inactivity on a lot of the tracks (and I don't mean while recoveries were going on) some events/tracks were idle for considerable amounts of time.

I'm not that sure that its at all representative of the 4WD movement though with the extreme mods that have been applied to many of the vehicles.

i agree in some respects bushie about the inactivity on the differnet courses,,,,,,

but in all fairness there was a hell of alot of vehicles broken i don't know if you heard the comintator reading them out but there was at least 6/7 out with broken cv's, drive shafts, etc etc..........

i rekon some of the stuff they were doing some of us could of done, but not in the time they were doing it........as some of the rock crawling was taking them 5-10 mins.........that would of taken us an hour..

but people can try out for them selves as the course is open to the public to drive i think on the 6th of june........which could be a really fun day out

then bushie you can show us how it is done

apparently more then a few cars could not make it, as the truck requirement were changed not long ago,.. and it was a race for many mechanics to get trucks ready for the event on fairly short notice,

I was at the mini Wirraba for a while the first 4 or 5 vehicles didnt get past the 10 point mark before breaking CVs

Not this little black duck I would probably be looking for the "chicken" track under the guise of vehicle preservation.

Ramp over could be a problem.

Bit of track building required here!!
