    Unhappy How to ruin a good weekend

    Thought I'd share our misfortune from the weekend with you.
    We compete in off-road racing, and over the weekend the Pines Enduro was held.
    This is our local off-road racing event, celebrating it's 30th year running this year, it has also been part of the Australian Off-Road Championship for quite a few years - attracting the best from all over Australia.

    So here is the result of an altercation with a 'smallish' stump

    Sorry picture is a bit blurred, just had a camera-phone handy at the time.
    This stump also claimed another four cars, two immediately after our altercation...

    don't you hate it when you think too long and then you just get stumped?

    just joking bloody bad luck that looks like a serious off roader.
    I hit a stump in my RRC once but I probably wasnt going quite as fast as you !

    Ohh thats expensive....
    Can you rebuild the shocks with new shafts or is it new units??

    I know the feeling of hitting a stump at speed (probably not nearly the speed you where doing though, this was in a winch challenge and smashed the car badly)

    Possible to get a little infor on your racer?
    I'd love to build some form of class truck to compete in off road racing.
    Great fun

    Best of luck with the repairs
    Dave.
