Any verticle banks with a 90 degree top? Any back flip sections for Bathtub, any side slopes for me?

As my car has never gone more than 15mph off road, (top speed of 20 in low box 5th gear), I take it I should do the fast bits in high box sad.gif

Well had a fun weekend watching/jeering/drinking. Took what's technically known as 'loads' of pictures so I'll get them up tomorrow... Well done to all the competitiors....!
alan kemp
Thanks to Andy and the team for organising this event. I had a brilliant time with some tough sections. I quite liked the speed aspect particularly after the pump was "tweaked" by Simon. Lots of bits to repair, shocks are goosed but nothing major.

Well done Chris and Simon, my consequential safety catch is being surgically removed next week. Steff and Adrian, well done again, You have all made Jim very proud I am sure.... The GP winch is awesome to see in action.

still waiting for a video of Pete rolling Bathtub whilst doing his turn before the mud run...

flat, about 20mph and still managed to roll it !!!! laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

also, awaiting one of Chris Abel RR 3ft in the air over the mud run with Simon's arms in the air like in the fun ride.... that was impressive blink.gif

Great Weekend for us again, we loved the mud run and the special stages were good fun, the highlight for me has got to be watching Bathtub rolling before he gets to the mud run laugh.gif laugh.gif
Can we have more speed next year i want to go faster tongue.gif Bigger jump into the mud run would be nice rolleyes.gif
Got a very nice looking paper weight on my desk at the moment biggrin.gif


I would just like to say a big thanks to Jim Marsden for letting me have the honours’ of testing the new Gigglepin bottom housing with FREESPOOL biggrin.gif it’s an awesome bit of kit and has got to be 25% faster under load than a Gigglepin winch with +40 gears!! biggrin.gif
bigblue
Well done Chris & Simon.

I bet all this winning is becoming rather boresome isn't it!!
