So close and yet so far…. admin, October 8, 2023October 24, 2023 Well, we almost made it. We finished second in class in the Willie Loughman Carrick forest rally today. That means we came second in class 11F in the national forest championship……. A full proper review of the year will end up here shortly but special thanks to O’Donovan Engineering, Pi Cycles and MCG Autostyling. As for the event, it was the usual melee.

We managed to bring a fruit bowl to service. The usual crew were in service. Joe couldn’t make it for the full day but managed to make it in time to load the car.

Also, why is a Wagon Wheel… Read More

Night stages over (thank God!) September 16, 2023September 26, 2023 Well, we survived the night stages here at the Bushwacker. Plenty carrots were eaten beforehand and the sumpguard light (see previous update) did it’s job. Thats Bitzy in action on stage 2. The biggest drama was some idiot spectator who “parked” (dropped more like it!) blocking in about 60 spectator… Read More
