How difficult was the course for a fully outfitted Samurai. Just asking as I really could not make it but wish I could have even passed through.

Navin, you woulda breeze through that course... Lockers would be convenient but not necessary and you have enough clearance for a short wheelbase...

[lighthammer]

Certain obstacles called for good line and traction, like the pro entrance, and others called for pure power, like the pro-pit, aka "the jimny graveyard"!

What an event!
Side B - Stuck Inna Quarry, turned out to be so much bigger than we originally thought when we first came up with the concept almost 2 months ago.

Was great to see so many other offroading clubs patronizing our humble little event, including TTORC, Trailblazers and even Team Dean's Wheels, along with so many other drivers, navigators and off-roading enthusiasts and fans.

Going to work on a write-up in a little while, but for now here's the results of the competition.

Yeah, I gave in to you eventually. What I needed was some more ground clearance...but don't worry, the L200 is ready for the next run.

Our initial estimate entries was 25 - on the event it gone to 41. We expected a crowd of 15-20 - this went to over 100. We had no sponsors - that went to 5-7 sponsors and more wanted to come onboard.

Thanks to Trinituner that got the word out and within a matter of days we got alot of attention. Special thanks to Duane and the rest of the Trinituner team for your support. Without everyone help and sponsors and the guys from Side B - this event would never be a success

Did i get no points?? not seeing myself on the list... Keshav Ramroop - 2012 Ford Ranger (Blue)

[bobvis]

hey lighthammer,,,, i finished the course,,,,, ah not seeing my name on de list

[lighthammer]

Sorry man, according to how the marshalls judged it, by the time ur fix was completed, ur time for your run was expired, hence they had to classify it as a DNF (Did Not Finish).

However, if you did get placed as a finish, you had 41 points (less points is better, it's a negative marking system) and you would have placed 2nd in pro class.

[lighthammer]

@keshav - you were judged as a DNF as well, since the last short hill-climb was too difficult and you couldn't finish it in the alloted amount of max tries.

You had 88 points (remember less is more) and you would have placed 6th in Novice Class if you had gotten to finish.

WAYS, WE MAKE 2ND PLACE IN PRO...BTW, We time did not expire for the fix, that take less than 3 minutes to fix. Only if the marshalls was checking the time we was doing the "a Favor to cut down the small hill that the loader had to cut", Rennie, Imtiaz say something in we defense. That we going to have some arguments for that, we get robbed by we own ppl.
But Anyways, We beat the Monster V8 Patrol that was we aim... And we did it...

woo hooo 4th place novice................wha we win?
we came to get the experience

There was a time related issue for you guys, but it is not related to the assistance given in helping to cut down the novice hill. That aside, points wise, you did beat the Monster..
