    THOSE ROCKS are unbelievable. even at crawling speeds you can do some horrific damage.
    Flatten/ damage a tubular member and the very next result is as above....



    This event is like no other for vehicle destruction IMO!!

    I'm not familiar with the 90 chassis, and the photo angles are deceiving, but if the A-frame is mounted like it is on a 110/rrc/disco, you wouldn't expect it to take a hit like that.

    If it is lower and vulnerable then it should have been heavier wall. On a weight vs strength basis round tube is the best section for pure tension or compression members.

    John, the chassis is a 100inch Richards chassis designed by Jim Marsden. From the pics I can guesstimate that they are running their extended (300mm) trailing arms and are running a longer custom A frame in the stockish postion.

    Id have to say that given this event and the terrain, that even a stock setup could take a big hit from a rock. They are everywhere and all sizes.

    John Currie leading the EMC, but has come to a slow/standstill with only 2-3 miles to go. Jim and Wayne in 2nd place! Gigglepin started in 33rd place. Currie has to finish 5 mins ahead to beat on corrected time

    fingers and toes crossed for Gigglepin and LR

    Sounds like they winched the last major hill to pass the stuck John Currie....classic. Jim saying he thought he could drive it but Wayne saying winch it. Good team work. The Provelogear/Savvy Offroad/Currie Jeep that Currie helped design/build is a top build Stock mod dominating rig
