3.4 K's in total from the top to bottom, started around 9.00 and made it up around 12.30 I think for lunch, quicker to walk but great fun was awesome cheers Jono.

Awesome pics Rosco. I managed to turn my massive ding in to a ripple in my rear 1/4.

Hey fellas out of curiosity did you guys see any of the boys in blue there yesterday? Had a mate tell me that his mate was at ellis yesterdayband cops were handing defects out like candy.

I wonder if my mate is friends with someone here in this group or he was with another group?

Yeah they where about. There was a second group behind us on the track from Geelong. They got pulled up at the bottom of the hill out of Ellis and all got hammered. I knew a few of them. They did not fare well. 6 out of 7 went home with a yellow sticker.!!!! The 7th turned Left instead of right!

On public forums its kinda' asking for trouble advertising events like this - I know the coppers regularly monitor special interest groups to plan targeted sweeps. I know, you shouldn't have to keep everything under wraps, but its easy picking for sure and these challenging tracks are sure to attract the attention of our infringement mad protectors looking for vehicles that are built beyond manufacturers specs.

to be fair phil, the other group we shared the track with, drove like absolute dipsticks. they were the target market for the boys in blue. the people in our group were respecatble to the track, didnt drive like idiots, didnt drink and drive, and as best as could be respected that track. i cant say the same for the other crew.

Yeah they were a bit loose too say the least and certainly part of the reason 4wds get a bad name. However the law is the law and you can't argue with that at the end if the day, however a little common sense and decency does go a long way. Just unfortunate we live in such a nanny state / country but we're still pretty lucky, however due to a certain few there's probably good reason for it. .

I agree with you both, its a bloody pain and simply forces people 'underground' or fearful of sharing the passion.

Phil that was discussed about these types of trips put up on social media and lets just say it has been noted.

Dodged a huge bullet is all we can say.

The joys of owning a modified or capable 4wd.
Though mines engineered they would of got me for 37s no mudlfaps and whatever else they decided to find. Which is why i drive around on stockies in melbourne on its daily commute.

If any of you got done ihope its not too painful amd i lool forward to catching you all on the next one

Being Navi in the lead truck up top within our front crew did spend all of the late morning outside running the winch after an unfortunate CV pop. All I could hear outside way down below for hours was what my nuffy mechanical experience initially thought was a .410 shotty going off every 5-10 minutes. Was educated around lunchtime that serious boost dumping was the source. Many neighbouring farms/houses below Ellis track may or may not have landline phoned up the Blue Husqvarna’s? Was a beautiful sunny Saturday so well could have been planned in advance too and or too much online chatter with specifics also?
