POSTPONED AGAIN...Double DOH!!!!

Apparently way too wet in the outback, Been rescheduled to NOV 21-27th.

It must suck for the organisers, but man its hard to keep reorganising all accommodations, everyones annual leaves etc...for a week.

End of november; might need to put air/con in the car.

I don't think so. First postponement to October. Then a second delay to November.

See below for a message from the event organisers.


"Hi all, I apologise if I could not get through to you personally yesterday advising on yet another postponement. The heaviest falls recorded in some parts of Central and Western New South Wales over the past 20 years have left most of the Trial’s closed-road competitive sections impassable. And these roads and tracks are not expected to be usable without major damage until well into October.
With all the trophies, decals, caps, polos and other infrastructure produced and trying to dodge other events and obtaining accommodation, this is the earliest date that we are comfortable with.

Again I apologise for the inconvenience with re organising accommodation and holidays etc. however we will have the added advantage of day light savings allowing us to enjoy a better social end of days activities. I trust you will still be able to join us in November.

Yours in motorsport.
