I'm trying to find the best way to get in touch with NZ Winch challenge Competitors who may be interested in bringing your comp trucks to QLD in Aus next year to race at the SSS 6 Day Extreme Winch Challenge which as the name suggests runs for 6 day straight! There's $25,000 in cash prize money to be won plus product prizes also! Now my question is, can anyone point me in the direction to some NZ Winch Challenge Facebook pages I can join to share the event information, some photo's and video clips on?? Noms are $2,000 or $1,800 for those who live a certain distance away but the organisers are willing to lower that price even more for any NZ teams who may be interested in competing!! Also that price includes full catering for the whole event and it's really good food! If anyone would like to add me on Facebook my name is James Maroske, cheers for your time!

Thank you to those who had offered to be involved. 4x4 Challenges NZ have been invited to provide the Winch Truck' entertainment at this new event with the organisers constructing an appropriate stadium course. The intention is that it's not a competition but as always it will probably be hard for you guys to resist. 4x4 Challenges NZ is also invited to exhibit within the Show.

Cheers..Steve http://www.4x4challenges.org.nz/discussion/topic/84 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 14:19:11 GMT cant seem to find the address for the 4x4challenges meeting tomoorw on here or ORE, can someone post up the address of where the meeting is being held please? http://www.4x4challenges.org.nz/discussion/topic/76 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:57:05 GMT i know its a bit far away for some people at the moment, but have any event organisers got dates in mind for winch challenge competitions for 2010? http://www.4x4challenges.org.nz/discussion/topic/61 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:43:53 GMT 1st 80 Keri Louie (Nissan) 190 2nd 17 Aaron Smythe (Nissan) 187 3rd 78 Tim Fenson (Hilux) 179 4th 20 Raana Horan (Nissan) 177 5th 29 Joe Kessler (FJ40) 162 These placings are provisional as the points treatment of competitors who stand down to organise an event has to be ratified and also the points for those that dnf an event. The top 4 are acurate but 5th may change after the next meeting when this is discussed. http://www.4x4challenges.org.nz/discussion/topic/69 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 03:52:08 GMT Cant seem to find a current topic on this event but I have a question for the Organisers / Club Class Compeditors My usual coey has a previous engagement for the weekend of this event and is unable to attend. My possible replacement is Darinz coey, John. Does anyone have an issue with me having a coey that has a number of years of Challenge Class coey experience? If there are issues I will try and find another one rather than start fights but at this stage he is the obvious choice given he is already part of the extended team (and the only one of them that will fit in a Zuk) Thoughts / comments asap so I can confirm my entry.
