Outback Challenge 2008

Outback Challenge 2008
The OBC was a great event, very unfortunately we had to retire after 4days of competition. During a high speed 15km run down station tracks we screwed the key way off the crank. That left us without engine cooling and alternator power.
Up to that time we were at the pointy end, having won a couple of stages, a few seconds and up there for most of the other stages.
As you can see from the attached we were flying !
In this particular stage (pictured) we won against all the V8’s…not bad for an old oilburner…

The Krawler tyres performed well in the sand and after 2 hours of racing over the Darling River muddy flood plains we came in 2nd by only 20 seconds for top position.

The TJM Prolockers have now been in the comp truck for three years and still check out OK.

Unfortunately following the event we have now pulled the diesel motor down only to discover that both the crank and the heads are cracked...bugger!

It will be a couple of months to rebuild.

We hope to be up and running for the Alpine Challenge 19-22nd September.
