Its always good to see people showing off their flexAlsoany chance of a bit more info e.g dates times venue etc.. The plan is to build a new section of the track along the fence line with some very evil axle twisters and posing mounds so you wish should be answered and the spectators should be only a few feet from the action. Dates are 17th & 18th October http://www.livepromotions.co.uk/ Venue is Bath and West Showground http://www.bathandwest.com/ Off Road course is opperated by Xtreme Off Road http://www.xtremeoffroad.co.uk/ HTH Brookers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylandy Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hi all The interest has been astounding from the trade the trade forms are about to get sent out and until there signed and back in the list will not appear I like to operate a got list rather than a wish list Clubs have spoken to us and there forms will be out in due course As for the offroad course its amazing I paid a visit 6 weeks ago and to be honest it wont disappoint its probably the most challenging site you will visit on a show ground. I will be down again in a few weeks to do some photos and am looking forward to it. Jules we will see what mat and I can come up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveturnbull Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'll bring my racer along Pete says he'll challenge you to a timed run round the off road course that Brookers is making. Loser buys the bacon rolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brookers Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Is that the sound of a gauntlet I hear? Err I think you guys might want to see this course before prommises of bacon rolls are made On the other hand I will be on standby with a winch rope The course at the B&W was built to be challenging, if it's wet it will be very challenging. That said if someone knows what thay are doing a disco on AT's can get round but the driver needs to choose their route with care otherwise they will end up with wheels dangling in the air It was built to be fun with experienced drivers in mind and there are many parts where you can pick your route depnding on your and your vehicles ability. At last years B&W show we had a couple of guys from the Cammel club giving passenger rides for us for 4 days and they were still out playing on it after the show had finished. It's been designed to be a challenge to an experienced driver. I know it as well as anyone and it still makes me grip the seat with my a**e in a few places We have bridges, rock crawls, sleeper steps, log mounds to climb, lots of side slopes including a 180 wall of death, lots of axle twisters, steep drops through the woods, the Xtreme ballencing see saw, more steep drops, and if we have time a tunnel I will post up some more pics when I find them.

Matt Neale Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Just to echo what Neil has said - I've driven the course almost as many times as he has (almost triple figures I'd guess) and can honestly say that there are places on that course that make experienced drivers go "Oh Sh*t!" - and places where you can balance the vehicle with a wheel 3' in the air without really trying. I think you might like this. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin-s Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 what about a challenge event like at manby that would be well cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brookers Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 High level pic of part of the course, The see saw, Just had an email from Smithy who runs the course and he is very open to the idea of letting the comp safari boys loose on the course I expect he and LP will have a chat about it So gentlemen (I use the term losely) who will take on Jules?
