This is my in cab vision of the second downhill section of Brewery track.

Daz did a top job of spotting everyone down and around the ledges and holes.

So did come out about the handbrake??
Top turn out guys.. I'll be over there soon with ya's.. Soon..

Hey the date on your video is out :p
This looks like a road we have out the back of Coffs called funnily enough "rocky road" incline, close to the edge and loose rocks everywhere :S
Cheers,
Eric.

Yes mate. The plan was to use the handbrake. In the previous section it had been so steep that I had my foot on the brake to the firewall and I was still running downhill. Winnie had the same issue.
It just wasn't in the plan to do it in neutral!!!!!

I do remember you guys saying that you break problems. Would have been scary! Ben seemed to have the best gearing for the job.

Yeah the concept of using the handbrake on a steep decent is to apply it softly so it is just grabbing and this adds drag to you drive shaft on a Patrol farther than your rear brakes and encourages better engine braking. The cars felt really settled going down there and most people did the second stage without massive brake fade.
Was a great track.

Had a huge weekend. Thursday to Sunday was great. Thanks to everyone for a bloody great trip. And special thanks to the I tear staters who each made a huge effort to get to this Meetup.
The boys are camping another night at Knockwood before heading home tomorrow.

I had a look on Ericas phone and she took heaps of video and quite a few pics so will load them later also.. Now I have to get ready and drive to AB's to pick up Lucas and drop him off at the airport.

Yes id like to thank everyone for an awesome weekend. A massive thanks to you Winnie for picking me up and letting me co pilot the 747 and eat balls...... Thanks for the hospitality AB, without you none if us would have been there. Thankyou Jonathan for the lift back to the airport. Thanks George for the spin in the RX. Thanks Darren for the leadership and ofcourse that mega steep rock track! Thanks liftlid for showing me a lebanese slingshot hahaha! Thankyou everyone for the laughs and good times, I'll remember this for a long time. Halfway through a beer and half hour till my flight.
Till next time:-)

I have to agree was a killer weekend had a ball every single minute. i too was tempted to go missing 'lost for weeks' in the high country is a awesome place lets hope we can continue to go there for many years to come.
I do have some pics but bloody go pro played up and got bugger all video before i was flat.
Will get them up soon.

I had such an amazing weekend, and as AB said they get better and better each time. I stayed an extra night there with Ben, Nic and Todd and apart from the rain we had a great night.
I was driving through thick snow on the way home today!
Thanks to everyone for coming, especially Ben, Nic, Todd and Lucas, what a huge effort from you guys (except Lucas, he had it easy).
I had a ride in Ben's ute.... I liked it a lot. It's one thing to see the flex photos and to read about how powerful it is but it is different to experience it. I jumped in with him to go up one track that only Ben and Darren attempted, so it was pretty hardcore. Woooooow I like Benny's ute! It was unreal, that is a whole different world of 4WDing to what I am used to and I like it! Then he took me for a ride on the road and woooooooow I like Benny's ute!
I'll post my photos later but I did not get a lot.

Hey Matty,
Mate you were mentioned many times over the weekend and sorely missed.
On Friday Arvo out of Woodspoint I took Bene on a magical mystery tour down a rarely used river track that crossed the river maybe 20 times. Could not wipe the smile off his face. He said you'd have to come and see it next time for sure.
Look forward to it bud
-
Ben showed me his Gopro footage from that track Darren, looked awesome!
Yeah Matt, spewing you could not make it!

I am glad I took tomorrow off too. Got home, had a shower and a nap and did not have to worry about unpacking or cleaning the car, I'll do all that tomorrow.
