Mini Diesel Run...

[lighthammer]

tentative date is sun 23rd jan.
This time it should def. be 4x2 friendly. No mountain trails this rounds



So it looking like a drive to la vega plus some rallying?
Or rallying first and then a lime down la vega side?



La vega is a real nice and peaceful place to chill and relax, maybe to eat ah food and picnic, so maybe rallying first then la vega in the afternoon?


Speedy - do u have a map or layout of the course, plus hazards to look out for?

I won't have my A/T's by then.

[lighthammer]

yeah but the track shouldn't require much use for A/T's - even the Dunlop H/T's should be able to make that track.

What you think speedy, if my Dunlop Grantrek Highway tyres could've made most of the Blanchisessue trail, could they work on the rally stage?

[MrCuddles]

al take da #6 spot...

[Rutless Tiida]

^^ Add your name...


I think this might be the last B team run for me if the A team has as many runs as they have planned...That is alot of runs so we will see.

[lighthammer]

Heh heh, well you know the B-Side is just about the lime and a bit of driving, nothing major.

There'll be B-team runs throughout the year, just not as regularly scheduled as the A-team (cool!) has listed for 2011.


Basically is just when most of us have an itch to go do some exploring, with a lime after... taht's all


Doesn't always have to be the same leader/organizer either, as long as someone's in charge of organizing everyone, there's navigator, at least one or two experienced guys, and they all follow the same basic rules of the DB's (no alcohol, no wildness, no heroics, etc.) then the Mini runs could go on and on.

[Rutless Tiida]

That cool with me.

[speedaholic]

lighthammer! i does run thru that rally stage with foriegn used tyres.. so your brand new highway tyres will deff work.. and i doh even havea lsd! and i never stuck... soo it is totally 2wd and shiet tyre friendly so anyone can comee!

[speedaholic]

[lighthammer]

Nice. I have 4wd and shiet tyres so I could to go. All I need to know now is the time. On that Sunday I finish work at 11:30 in Champs Fleurs.

[3stagevtec]

I will be coming with some newly installed, completely worn out Michelin Latitude Highway tyres.. I am testing out some 245/70R16s on my GV, which are 5.6% taller than my Terra Tracs and 9.8% taller than the original factory tyres than came with the van!!

I am looking to see if my engine has enough torque to run those larger tyres.. So far, everything is on the positive side, I did notice a decrease in acceleration and braking, but nothing too significant. I just need too see how the fuel economy is affected in the long run.

With those taller tyres, I am getting a much more comfortable ride throughout and especially in the rough stuff..

u serious when u say h/t would be able to make it through? i thought la vega had some pretty bad mud?

you mistaking the location somehow..

http://www.lavegaestate.com/

you can rent a bicycle and ride through the estate.. no mud there though..

[3stagevtec]

Here'a a suggestion for another possible run, maybe later on in the year of course..

http://www.ttorc.org.tt/

Go to events, 2009 and check the 'August 9th' run.. I'll ask some of the ex-ttorc guys about the current trail conditions and what grade it might be.. seems like a fun drive / place to explore..
