My first competative event

[Trugga]

Well, I've gone and done it - I've made contact with Shropshire Off Road Club and put my name down to enter a Road Taxed Vehicle Trial.

Similar to what we attempted at Bala, the courses will most likely be set up as a little more challenging.

Date: Sunday 26th July
Venue: Hawkstone (map)

For some strange reason that I am yet to understand, JueOmega has volunteered to be my co-driver for the day (or should that be ballast) - at least we'll be sure to have a laugh or two along the way.

If you are free to pop along, we would welcome some support.

best of luck with it hope it all goes ok

[Trugga]

Thanks for all the good wishes.

I bought the Sport with the intention of competing. Having navigated a number of years, I am aware of what can go wrong, so have run the Sport on the road (and off) to iron out any problems that might appear - it is now more reliable than when I bought it.

The event is supposedly at the easy end of the scale, but I will get to see how the Sport and I cope in the heat of battle.

I don't intend to break it, but I do intend to have a good time.

2 weeks to go
