Competitors were sorted into two Teams and raced two at a time on side by side tracks, once finished they then swapped tracks and raced again.
Mick is a long time competitor but his ute was not ready to compete so he has been concentrating on the track building for quite some time, as a reward they gave him Starky's ute to use and let him loose as a wildcard.
Shane got a little enthusiastic on the log dump and launched his wagon over the top with wheels airborn then had to stop in a hurry as the finish line was just after the last log.
Brad was back in the V8 Scout but the motor was missing badly all weekend although it didn't seem to slow him down much and he took out third in Super Modified.
Romana always has a great time and is one of the regulars who uses the competition as stress relief, must be working going by the smile on her face at every event.
Stuart Parkes Outlaw Buggy looked like it was fresh from a show and shine competition and was beautifully presented, he was not afraid to go hard in it though and his results showed he had done his homework well on the build up by winning the Outlaw class.
Keith Bignell drove like a demon all weekend in his holden V6 powered, nissan chassied toyota bodied hybrid to once again take out Super Modified Class.
Lynda was mixing it with the boys at the pointy end not only taking out the top ladies award but coming second in the super competitive Super Modified class.
Michael was on fire piloting his buggy to second place in the Outlaw class.
Shayne was doing well until he broke the top link on the rear diff and had to be carted off by the excavator.
Daniel may only have L plates for the road but fifth place in Super Modified showed he had what it takes on the track.
Brad smashed the windscreen when he got a bit close to the tree in the gully after bending a rim and deflating the front left tyre, he still managed to finish in a reasonable time though.
Shane was struggling to finish the course in two wheel drive after breaking the front end.
Yuri Rock almost claimed another victim when Ken Bain got into a bad spot and had to be dragged out by the excavator, he did well enough for most of the weekend to take out first place in Modified class.
Damien had a great run over the weekend taking out fourth place in Outlaw class even despite a rollover in the final.
Jack was only six points behind Ken to take out second place in Modified class.
The newly dug out rock claims its first victim, Al in the Yuri Buggy and so was christened "Yuri Rock"
A huge electrical storm overnight had me erecting a makeshift shelter before the rain hit.
If you thought they went hard on Saturday then you should have seen them all go even harder in the finals on Sunday.
Craig had quite a few goes at this obstacle but finally made it up to come in third in Outlaw class.
The tree at the top of the course took its toll on a few trucks over the weekend.
Drive the front up and spin the back round then reverse back off on the other side of the cone was one option a few teams made over the weekend.
Oops!
Rear wheel steer certainly came in handy getting out of the gully.
Outlaw class had their own section of track down the gully a bit.
There was plenty of rock for the other classes as well.
