2009 Offroad 4x4 Clubkhana, 7th & 8th March

[casey]

Just saw this today - anyone interested in going?
http://offroad4x4club.com.au/events/Clubkhana1.htm

The Off Road Club has recognised the fact that there are many of you out there that
have a love for 4WDing but who also possess a competitive spirit. We go along to the
likes of the Nissan Trials and the Willowglen Challenge and think, “I reckon I could do
that” or “ my vehicle could have got through that” however at the same time thinking
“no way would I would do that with my car though“

The Off Road Clubkhana is designed to give you a chance to compete without damaging your vehicle.

We have constructed a series of events (over a two day weekend) that will put
drivers and their vehicles to a test. This is the next level above a funkhana. The
events will be designed to be technically challenging but vehicle friendly.

Once again thanks to the assistance of the Toymota Land Cruiser Club of Australia,
we are having the event at their property “Willowglen” at Goulburn with easy access
from the Hume Highway exit. There will be trophies and prizes for each event and
1st, 2nd, and 3rd overall winners in both male and female categories.

For an extra $20 you may go in the draw to compete in the optional Hill Climb for
Cash. This Hill Climb will be harder event and perhaps not for those with lower style
side steps. In order to be able to qualify for entry into the Hill Climb you must have
completed all other events.

A hot food stand will be operating on both days selling hot food & hot & cold drinks
etc at very reasonable prices

Happy hour will be provided on Sunday at the presentation – BYOG

The gates will be open from Friday 12.00 midday -midnight. The gates will
re-open at 6.00am Saturday morning. Competition will commence at 8.00am
Saturday and Sunday and will conclude Sunday afternoon and the presentation
ceremony will then take place

hey casey, im interested in this comp. do we have to enter this as a club or is it every man/woman for themselves?

[casey]

Check out the webpage at the top of my last post. I'm pretty sure it's all individual entrys, but you need to be a member of a 4wd association club.

[VIN18U]

cool ill check it out, sounds like its a warm up for willowglen!!!

[casey]

so who's in for this one?

[wlublink]

I love to go, especially after "Son of Trials"....

What about our traction control, will there be a special class again??

Wyanda

[casey]

well if nobody says anything we should be running with the rest, which will be to our advantage

I'd love to do one of these but my lift puts me in the open class without all the other stuff to put me there. Might have to get the tape measure out and check for sure but after Sunday I'll b at 5.5" I think.

Cheers
Steve

Hi guys,

I did the Cubkhana last weekend and I had a lot of fun. I went together with Casey, Rebecca and Bruce. Casey and I went in as drivers and Rebecca and Bruce were the navigators. The competition was a completely different from the Son of Trials. In fact apart from the Hill Climb on Sunday you did not really need a 4WD as the 7 events were all games; playing croquet, barrel-pursuit and so on, all possible in 2WD.

But we still had a lot of fun. It was very well organized. There were only 77 drivers so no long waits at the events. Unfortunately I did not take any pictures, maybe Casey and Rebecca will have some....

Casey and I both entered the Hill Climb, but the hill was similar to a sanddune on Stockton beach so we did not make it very far...

You can read all about it in the trip report I will write about it for this months magazine (or maybe next month).

See you,
Dutchie
