JST Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Well the last event had to be cancelled due to lack of numbers so i am hoping this one, which would have been the 3rd is on a better date! If you missed the last one back in Mar there are some details here: DDC 29 Mar 08 The rules and regs from last time remain the same ie: There will NOT be a class system but there will be some vehicle restrictions. These are primarily: 1. Your Vehicle must have current road tax, Insurance and an MOT. 2. Maximum Tyre size of 33" tall (255/85R16 equivalent). 3. No Simex Style tread patterns, eg FEDIMAs, INSA TURBOs etc. 4. All vehicles must have suitable front and rear recovery points. A standard fitted towbar is adequate for a rear recovery point. Front recovery points should be a minimum of JATE rings on each chassis leg if a dedicated suitable winch point has not been fitted. Lashing eyes are NOT acceptable. All tow hitches, whether front or rear mounted, should be bolted to the vehicle (not welded) and must be fitted with spreader plates.) 5. Kinetic Energy Recovery Ropes (KERR) are NOT permitted. In addition you must comply with my standard rules and regs detailed and linked in from the DDC home page here The day is designed to be fun and with luck we will have better weather than last time around! I know it was a little wet by lunch time! The cost is £45 per vehicle, you must pre-register to enter and you can do that by following the links here; DDC Entry form or emailing me for details. Those registered will receive directions, timings and scrutineering instructions via email approx 1-2 weeks before the event. i have funds from 3.5 and BBC from the last cancelled event that can be put down for a place on this one or refunded in full as previously discussed/emailed.

Bull Bar Cowboy Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Oh, you seem to have a date correctly related to the day and year Yes, I will be there ................ a little negotiation means that we we will now start our holiday a day later..............

JST Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Excellent - good man Ian - with your own winch working as well, not going to do a Shrek are you and borrow someone elses drum pretending yours isn't fixed as your worried it will break again.....

Bull Bar Cowboy Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 No............ mine is all fixed and will now hold 100ft of 12mm ............... it will be good to use it in anger again...........'borrowing' things and being economic with the truth is all part of Sherks profession .............. black rat pikeys......... By that time I will have also altered the pipework at the OCV and motor which should also make it a little faster. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePointFive Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Yep I still wish to attend this one, I haven't got my schedule for next year but unless it coincides with uni in any way, I'll be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milemarker Type S Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Oi... I resemble that remark ... Black Rat???- Don't you swear at me! My winch drum is still not fixed ... But I still have Ians H's winch on the front of my truck! Might have to give it back tommorow though I am sure that once mine is fixed I will be slightly careful with it... for a few minutes at least!!! I am supposed to be working for this one but may well appear for marshalling duties if required James? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redben101 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 i can make this one for sure. have even banned myself from touching the truck with any tools until this date, so as to make sure i dont happen to the truck in the meantime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milemarker Type S Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I take it that this means that your winch is still in full working order then Ben?- Top man well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honitonhobbit Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 James If you have the numbers I will marshal, if not I will compete/marshal like last time - paying to marshal, woohoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redben101 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 winch all working, used it for some tree removal yesterday i see what people mean by it pulling at a sedate pace... should suit me fine then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Gawd, James, you know how to pick date clashes !!! Should be in Spain doing rally Catalunya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Seems like a big date clash with a few, as not many have registered, maybe the format needs adjusting but it seems more like a file 13 idea i think - oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePointFive Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 What a shame, it's easily my favourite format of off roading, there's nothing like it anywhere else in the south west for non-challenge trucks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Well only 3 entries to date! Sam you could try the J33P 2 day event in Sep as well if you liked similar format to these events. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePointFive Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I would be signing up right now but it clashes with a social event that same weekend and is the weekend before uni starts up again, so I can't make it this time, as much as I want to.

JST Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Still a while off yet although i wonder if entries will pick up - 3 to date. There was alot of interest in this last year but it seems not to be, let me know where its going wrong then and i can adapt the day to suit if possible.

Milemarker Type S Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 James- my leave has been confirmed from work so you have a marshal!... Now we just need to drum up some competitors! Come on you lot... some of you specifically asked for easier style non-damaging (or as risk free as possible) challenge style events... this is exactly that! If the first DDC event is anything to go by this will be another excellent day out off roading! Please don't let this one be cancelled due to lack of interest...
