Challenge Cup Engraving

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 07:49:56 GMT

Hi there, we are seeking feed back on getting the challenge class cup engraved with the names of the drivers and navis since its inception in march 09. Thinking of getting a rimu base, with the winners details engraved in the sides on plaques, nothing on the actual cup itself. Details would read like this: Norwest '09' Keri Louie Warren Adams Whangarei '09' Aaron Smythe Doug Cooper Rotorua '09' Glen Bellingham Justin Wynyard Ect Ect Ect............. I will post a list of the winning teams up until present shortly, so any one can correct any details that may be incorrect Cheers Tim [Modified by: Tim Fensom on 13 December 2011 20:10:29 ]

Where are we going?

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 03:43:49 GMT

I think we need to set a 5 year plan for 4x4 Challenges. There has been a lot of progress towards a national set of rules and a national final, does this mean we aim towards a national body that is a combination of the Mainland guys and 4x4 ch and the 2 idenpendant bodies are disolved? Or do we keep things seperate with a national rules organisations and have a seperate body to administer each island? Or do we just keep going like we are? 4x4 Challenges was set up to promote and develop the sport and if the way foward is to disolve it as a club and create a new national body to take it's (and the Mainland club) place then lets talk about want people think and want. I can see advantages to both but wonder whether one body with representatives from both islands is the way to really get things moving? This is not about saying anyone is doing anything better than anyone else or telling people what to do, it is about planning for the future and where we want the sport to be. If we have a goal then we can make decisions based on whether they get us closer to the goal or not. I don't really care what the politics are from years gone by as they are in the past, let look foward and set some goals to enable us to have more and better races as ultimately that is all I care about!

Standard Vehicle Event !

Wed, 03 Oct 2007 20:17:32 GMT

I have often thought about a class or event for vehicles that are standard OEM. By this the body shell remains OEM, engine chassis and body shell combinations remain unchanged from OEM. Vehicles must have usual roll cage and recovery points as per current rules with standard interior panels in place excluding rear seat and bumpers. Lockers allowed say rear only or front and rear if OEM specified a front locker as standard or electronic traction control as OME. It would be fun to campaign a vehicle that represents a factory standard vehicle and push it in a competition and see how long it takes to break! The manufacturers or retailers would be very protective of thier current late model vehicles being used for the purpose they were intended instead of towing bloody horse floats. Winches should be all electric, off the shelf no mods twin batteries and plasma allowed. Tyres kept at one brand ie less agressive than Simex to help identify a tyre that works well all round and more main stream. such as a narrow BFG or Khumo ?? Special stages are combination of gravel road and forest track, with a 31" tyre restriction tracks will be challenging to vehicle and teams without the extreme's having to be found. When using OME equiptment, tyres and winches it should be easier to attract event sponsors. I look back at Rallying in NZ, in the 80's and 90's classes allowed for very extreme Group A car, then organisers tried to calm things down and bring the sport back to OEM with Group N. Group N was rejected by most drivers at first until factory backed teams embraced it now look at that class, its the only class to compete in! Then there is Kiwi 2wd standard OME cars this is so easy to get into and very popular not mention cheaper than winch challenge! This type of event should attract newer vehicles instead of old early 70's Range Rovers, oh I wonder if these would be competitive in this type of event :) ?? I would like your thoughts on this cheers..... [Modified by: Darryn Bell on 30 September 2007 21:25:10 ]
