[big_fletch]

Howdy All,

Scotty (Biggus Riggus) has informed some of us he would like to come down to Vic for abit of a meetup and a wheel around.. He is looking around october at this stage so thought it would be a good chance for a "Pre Loveday Meetup" LOL.. Try and see if we can get a few states and territory's together for possibly a Vic High Country run.
No dates have been confirmed yet, nor has the area we are going so are open to suggestions at this stage..
This is a invite to all members who are interested in tagging along for a Great weekends wheeling and catching up with a few members from other states

Looks like a beautiful spot ... can't see the vids though on crappatalk, so begs the question, I take it there is some good challenges in there also? Don't want to go stupid as need to drive back also. Love the shot of the raging creek ... not something we see much of up here unless it's a full on flood (in which case we're not wheeling anyway).

You should make Talbortville a base camp and day trip from there.

I'm in your hands lads - sincerely appreciative of the response and can't wait to sort the details and catch up!!

This is going to be a scream!!!

[DX grunt]

Sorry Guys,

Can't make it due to work. Even if I could, I'd have to respectfully decline. It's too far and I'm not gunna get much change out of $5k for my trip next year.

I've still got a couple of reasonably expensive mods to do to my truck to make it 'self sufficient' before the trip.

Thanks for the offer.

Just make sure that the Tracks are open in that area. A lot of the High Country is closed until the Melbourne Cup Weekend.
I think Roofy would be the man to check that out as it is his area.

Definately interested

[chester]

Billy goats will be shut,as will zeka and all the tracks into wonangatta.Was at Talbortville at the start of the year and can't remember if there was a gate on Mcmillans spur or not.Maybe if it's all shut aberfeldy may be an option thats if O"tooles flat is open.90% of the tracks up there are open,like flats trk,army trk,fultons spur trk.Deep crk 4 i think,can never remember which is the bad one,one speck, morning star,white star.There a couple of old cemerty's that i know off,the walk into the water wheel,the tombon mine and so on.Just another option for you all.

Thanks for that Mate. DSE in your area should be able to tell us which Roads/Tracks are closed

[Bob]

Just a suggestion maybe we could defer until the Melbourne Cup Weekend as the Tracks would be open.
Would still need to check with DSE.
One negative to this is that there would be lots of People out that weekend

Check out this for Road Closures in that Area

[big_fletch]

[MudRunnerTD]

Yer i have seen a few pics and vids of that track, as well as some of the others.. Good like an absolute ripper spot for a wheel and a cold one

[Archie]

I would love to turn up but I need lots of notice so I can book holidays. 22-23 Oct best suits me

[AB]

Sorry folks but I won't be able to attend at Melbourne cup weekend. Every cup we organize a huge day with work, friends and family for the race day unfortunately.

Im up for that w/end too..
Melb cup is out for me..

[Bigrig]

Do we want to keep it for that weekend of the 22nd of October? Does that suit more than not?? Doesn't worry me, but if I'm making the trip, I obviously want to meet as many as possible ....

[big_fletch]

Im happy with 22nd-23rd.. Suits me fine

[chester]

Yer i have seen a few pics and vids of that track, as well as some of the others.. Good like an absolute ripper spot for a wheel and a cold oneIt is a good one,was up there on the Queens b'day weekend it's low range first gear from the word go.As soon as you turn on to it goes up and up few tight switch backs levels out for a breather,then up and up and up.Loved it

[AB]

I am available any time apart from Melbourne Cup unfortunately....I'm not a religous person but Melbourne Cup is my religion to meet up with about 30 other people every year and party like It's 1999!!!

[Clunk]

Sorry no can do, gotta try and save save save if I'm gonna get me truck ready and make it for the 2012 meet!!!!

[Bob]

if we can find tracks open I am for any of the Weekends above.

Melbourne Cup Weekend looks out as too many of you have prior arrangements.

Chester seems to know the Area fairly well and I am sure that with liason with others in that Area a suitable place can be found

[Sir Roofy]

I'm happy with 22/23 Oct too.

thats ok with us as well

[belzi82]
