Looks like our driver lineup has been confirmed as

Greg Brady, Rob "U-Blind" Lowe, "Joe King" from "The Fray", and "Sir Lancelot"

And here are the "Press" pics of the driver lineup!

Just wonder what Team Name we will have?

Hasbeens or the Entertainers

I noticed that our team is missing the knight in shining armour on the driver lineup?
Will he be busy chasing Queen Gwenevere?
Or will he be arriving "on" his trusty white steed?

Team name, Team Mugenites?

I thought that it would end up being "The Brady Bunch"!

It was a bit of a quick job, but bright enough even for the oldest members of the Brady Bunch to keep their eyes on!

If anyone sees this message under those huge photos, we need some volunteers to help set up the track tomorrow (Saturday) before the event. The latest plans were for a few committee members to head down around 12.00 midday so if anyone can lend a hand that would be greatly appreciated.

Catch you at the Track Tomorrow! (One more Sleeps!)

Bad luck to RRR Racing, you were certainly the gun team to beat who also TQ , thought our race had be run when the rear arm broke and put us 28 laps behind you guy's and back to 5th but as they say it's not over till the fat lady sings , looking at your car at the end of the race you guys deserve full credit for finishing with the condition the car was in, lesser mortals would have given up. Bring on the 3hr

As Rob stated, comiserations to team rrr racing who were well in front when they struck trouble.
Full credit to Ric who drove the 2 wheel drive rrr to the finish to make Greg work for it!
Here's a pic of the car, and with a bit of race tape it will be ready for the next
enduro, but my guess would be that a different body will be used other than the lolas

with all this talk about the RRR team a review of itchyb and mugenville's enduro contracts could be required
