We aimed to stand out a little bit this year, you’ll notice our Driving costumes are not really inconspicuous. Hopefully we get some media coverage for our sponsors and supporters this way. Seems to of worked so far we did a very short section for the channel 10 news, hopefully it airs.
Our first Wacko section is a class 7. What the hell is a class 7. Last year the roughest sections were a class 6 and we don’t know what to expect from a 7. I think a 7 would be about right. There were hard to see turns, humps, dips, sand and lots of quick changes to keep the driver and the navi busy. A really fun section to get us started, although maybe not really fair for the newbies - they might of struggled with some of the instructions.
The afternoon sections were not any easier. We had 2 x creek crossings and lots of sand. It was great to see a lot of the locals out to cheer us on, as most cars got stuck in at least one of the crossing. Not the Subaru, we got through no problem, probably because of the excellent driving ability of Stacey, hehehehe
Everyone made it in safe and sound and there has been no reports of any breakdowns or accidents, event he Combie is still running and made it through the creek crossing without any dramas
We spent the night in Flinton, at the race course. If you are ever looking for somewhere to do over the Easter Long Weekend head to Flinton for the Fliinton horse racing. It is the one race day of the year and if our night is anything to go by you would have a fabulous time.
We got the Oz Pig out and it was very popular, as soon as one person stood up (to go to the toilet or bar) someone else came along and took their seat. We got loads of positive feedback and hopefully people will go on line and buy one for themselves.
