Just spent the weekend up the road from Perth at the West Oz Challenge. Many thanks again to Doc for organising the event. I had a ball, and I know the competitors did too.

I got there a tad late on the Saturday, but met up with respectable Joff the marshall and leapfrogged his boy into the passenger seat of the mighty cruiser. As Joff said, it is who you know, not what you know, and so I had prime possies away from the spectators spots in amoung the course with the marshalls Cool

There was quick course in the afternoon through the paddocks, but with the position of the sun, visibility became difficult and a few cars thought they would try the straight line instead of taking the corner and came face to face with our chairs Embarassed Thankfully we were all out of the way, but them cars are big when they pull on the brakes after a false turn to stop beside you

Tip:

Tyres<br> The Most Important Thing When 4WDing. There are all sorts of track conditions that you will encounter, so you need a tyre that is capable of handling all conditions. If you plan on using your 4x4 to actually do proper 4WDriving, my advice is to purchase a quality set of mud terrain tyres. You will have to put up with a bit extra road noise on bitumen, but the knowledge that you have the best tyre for the worst circumstance is most reassuring. We consistently get 80,000Kms from our mud tyres, but we have them balanced and rotated every 8,000Kms, so with fantastic wear like this, it doesn't make sense to limit our 4WD capability by fitting all-terrain.
