Mitch V in lead, not sure with 2nd and Rob Booth in 3rd.
Beechy i believe had a engine faluire due to a wire broken on the radiator fan.
Cowchaser tore a sprocket off, not sure how , front or rear ???
The word is the track would have to be one of the hardest events of all time, very whooped out !!.
Thats all i know. |

Just got back from TP300, had a shocking race, Got bogged every sandhill I got to in sighting lap, my teammate had a big off in the sighting lap and bent up the bike badly. He started the race, did lap 1, I took off for lap 2, got 300m and the bike craped a stator( new stator 6 hrs old). the End of our race.
Apart from that it was good. Cowchaser did a rear sprocket carrier on the canam just past our camp, dont know who won, left before presentations. The funniest thing was some one on a 4x4 playing in the water crossing after finishing got tangled up in the tyre wall and rolled the quad in front of everyone  , will let you know more if I hear.

You did well Yogie, raced like true gentleman in the toughest conditions, helping people out of boggs, allowing efficient passing... all good.
Look forward to seeing you and your mates at the next one.
Even though Griz did a good job getting around as an official, we'll have to get him in the race next time.
I think eveyone punnished themselves beyond what anyone could have imagined.
Some real big efforts all round, without even mentioning how tough our quad chicks are.

| Really enjoyed my self over the weekend was certainly a tough rough track, not sure where the dangerous part came from but thats not correct - ride to the condition and your ability. Only one injury that i know off, and that required 10 stitches. Great effort by anyone involved. Cant wait for the next one. Froggy |

I'm pretty sure this was after the 10 k mark ??? But it was defenantly after the 8k mark. was a lot of fun doing it. Scooter said it was the hill that went up, a real sharp left then straight back down.

I'm always in some sort of trouble.
Yogie's wright! Spider Hill has a hairpin left hander at the top.
Good stuff in the arvo with rain is on your gogs and the sun is in your eyes.
For Mrs B let's just call it insect hill.

well I found about 10mm of it (sludge) sitting in the bottom of my air box, not counting the kilo's of sand in everything, what a great run weekend, sorry I jibbed out on the sunday,  But I'm not so sore now, the bikes been serviced and cleaned, but I'll keep my trail riding anyday of the week.  except one weekend of the year free just in case I get the bug again.
and who was #81 on the kwakka anyway ??? he wasnt hurt, but does he know he's famous

easy to say when its not your bike your taking through i didnt want to go through and was quiet happy to cop a penalty if that was the option to miss the pit big difference out on the track you can choose to go around the majority of the mud and your comparing nearly half a meter of mud by 20m long to the odd bit a 100mm deep by 3 or 4 meters long |
