najw Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Results now posted HERE Again, I am afraid we made a slight c*ck up at the prizegiving. The Class 1 results announced were incorrect and should have been: 3rd John Sales & Carl Hurst - 1800 points 2nd Alastair & Phil David - 1950 points 1st Chris Abel & Simon Wilkinson - 2350 points Congratulations to the David Brothers for an excellent result on only their second Challenge outing. Apologies to Glynn Yates & Barrie Gee for presenting trophies that didn't belong to them. Championship tables will be posted tomorrow.

dirtydiesel Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Absolutly spot on, really good site, really well laid out. We got away lightly with 3 punctures, smashed windscreen, head gasket, front cover, front winch solenoids, rear winch motor and a front winch cable. Many thanks to neil and the team.

general-confusion Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Excellent event , hard but enjoyable only a broken brake light for damage and well done to Luke my co driver as it was only his 2nd time off road.

roguevogue Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Great day, brilliant site, technical sections, thanks to Neil and the team who set out. I can't remember a day when I winched so much or nearly rolled so often. James must be knackered having run up and down all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow White Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Very tough for us. Co driver is knacked! Broken screen, bent (strengthen) drag link, bent steering guard, broken wing mirrows (again) Big thank youto everyone who helped set out, we didn't get to see too much of of what you had done, but i bet yor legs ached after doing that all day. Best start getting ready for next one then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigblue Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Woops that would be my fault then. What Neil has very kindly forgotten to mention is that he had his YTS scoring trainee at the controls. Apologies to all. It will not happen again. BB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JST Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Top event, really enjoyed it, thank you Neil and team. Cheers Nick for a great day out and Chris and Graham for endless supplies of food! Legs a little worn this morning, think i will leave the running until later! (and its raining!) Some great punches and a good site to compete on, not sure i would want to organise one there though a lot of potential for 'issues!' Neil - just to check did you get my email?

Chris Abel Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 We had a great weekend despite a few problems! The site was brilliant, and the punches were well set out with plenty that made us think twice about doing them! We did have a little roll at the top of the hill on punch 18 that could have been quite nasty but luckily a tree broke the fall and Simon was quick enough to jump out the way before the truck rolled on top of him! Well done Mr Turner for 1st overall , I still got more punches than you ! If only I did the other special... Hope there are plenty of pic’s and YouTube video’s. Many thanks to the marshals and organisers for such a fantastic event. So who else rolled this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_s Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hope you all enjoyed yourself. The site is amazing, and despite the problems with the camping it all seemed to go well... Next time you have a lie down Chris, make sure it isn't at the top of the mountain... My HW pics are here: click-click. Apologies that I can't get pictures of everyone, you all move to quickly.. Good to meet gaflad too, hopefully there will be some good video appearing. Did anyone get Saley's roll?? Rumour was someone did... Roll on Walters, gonna be really good!

red90 driver Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 This was our first big event and we were pleasantly surprised at how well we did - joint 28th! Damage - brake exploded of the front 8274, totally shredded Britpart trailing arm bushes (new a month ago!) snapped the center winch rope twice and possibly bent a rear spring. Oh, and we have a death wobble fron the front that requires a drive home at no more than 30 mph! (Swivel shimming to be checked this week). Great event, and a great shock to the system to find all thoses one way in / out punches. Not used to being made to go a certain way to achieve a punch! Many thanks to the organisers and marshalls.

Chris Abel Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Chris Able caught on video here - Cool video! Its a really anoying when the rope keeps wraping round the drum the other way, Free spool drum definitly needed!

Steve 90 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Well done Adrian, Chris rob and Richard, Excellent results. What was the special you did Chris? Adrian told me about the one he did where he had to hit the balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Looking at the results it does seem that anyone doing the SS1 was at about a 400 point disadvantage to anyone doing the SS2. How was it decided who did which one as this would seem a bit harsh if it was purely down to chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green90 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Big thanks to the marshalls ,mitsimog crew and everyone else who joined in to help get us out of punch 19, really wasn't the moment for the winch to stop working . Ian & Emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Abel Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Well done Adrian, Chris rob and Richard, Excellent results.What was the special you did Chris? Adrian told me about the one he did where he had to hit the balls. I decided to do the trials special, i thought i would have enough grip on the grass but it was more like driving on ice! It's just one of those things, i should have looked at the other one first I did manage to get through the second gate once i built up some speed with 4 seconds to spare!

JST Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 SS are teams choice as to which you do, i do know that trying to start a special stage with 10mins of the comp left is not a good idea though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a bit of a downer if you picked SS1 on the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguevogue Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 in which case I suppose it is fair in so far as you made the choice and it wasn't made for you. Still a bit of a downer if you picked SS1 on the day We do have the oportunity to look at both options during the day and read the rules sheet. Our problem was that we didn't find ss2 until the very end of the day so there wasn't time for us to have our alloted 12mins. Obviously if we had the leader board would look quite different.
