Queensland Challenge

Rob: Sadly, no :P I don't have pics of many cars, actually. Haikal probably has a couple though.

Didn't catch any of your paj. Sweep only came around after I stood down.

Congrats to Fook on his great (provisional) result!!

 

I'd tell you myself but you wont answer your phone....

We need to see a bigger Rollaclub contingency next year! :P

[demuire]

I will be there, or will die trying

 

I'll hold you to that!

 

I hope everyone is still this enthusiastic this time next year, I've been trying to get everyone to do these events for a few years now!!! (or maybe just last year... I forget).

 

Navigators do tend to be rather scarce, so start looking early! And I would recommend doing a few night runs prior to get a feel for the sorts of things you need to do, and possibly do Coastal Challenge in July. Much much harder navigation, but if you get through that, Queensland Challenge will be a walk in the park :P

 

Also, rumour has it there will be another touring road event up at Kilcoy in November...

Congratulations Fook, you were just amazing on the speed tests!!! HOW do you get that thing to GO SO DAMNED FAST???

 

Major and special kudos to your navigator. HUGE presents are required there, absolutely F L O G G E D us "experienced" sorts.

 

Well done, I'm truly pleased for you both

[demuire]

*blush*

 

Thanks Mel :y: I'll pass on your congratulations to Pauline too :P She did extremely well, far surpassed all my expectations and then some :D She's absolutely stoked too :dance:

 

Heh, although during the speed stages (Prince Henry Heights and Wivenhoe in particular) she was going "oh crap oh crap oh crap" all the way :P She couldn't see at Gatton (helmet slipped forward and covered her eyes), I recon she would have been saying that all the way too, especially when we got airbourne at the dips :bash:
