Night Drive - Warburton - 1-May-2010

[Greg]

Note: Address may change slightly, but it will definately be a Saturday night.

I said at the last meeting that i would run this trip in Toolangi, but i really don't forsee enough track density there to make it work. So, i think that Warby (i know - again!!) will be the go - it's much easier to drive technical tracks that are close together etc...

Location
Warby

Tracks
Depending on light, we could start on Ellis, but if we start in the dark then i think it will be Cemetary (up), Justice (up), Britannia (up)... If it's wet then i think we would definately skip Ellis - broken cars are fun in daylight, but less fun in the dark.

Rating
Hard. I will have met my 1 medium trip for the year requirement (see Gembrook 21-Mar), so it's back onto Hard again.

Meeting
Chish and Fips in Yarra Junction. We'll aim for a 7ish i guess. But this could change closer to the date.

Requirements
Yourself, your car, a sense of adventure, a torch, a snatch strap, two rated shackles, enough money for a cooked breakfast (it could be a late night), a note from your mum saying that you have to be home early if you plan on leaving before the designated end of the trip.

I might well be in for this one, but I would add to the "bring along" list an operating charging system*, and no (known) electrical gremlins. I don't mind changing a CV in the dark, but trying to troubleshoot electrical systems is much harder in the dark

*he says this now safe in the knowledge Jonno now has 100amps of reliable charging power

So the battery will be charged, but the winch and bull bar will still fall off?

[gwagensteve]

Drastically reducing current draw, and ensuring all obstacles are driven- perfect.

He still has to fit the thing! But a little birdy told me that might be getting done sooner rather than later..

hmm...maybe I should get some spotties working for this trip...

I'm in

[ajsr]

I'm in , ellis sounds interesting at night
no big amps required with two sets of hid

[andrew_wale]

This would have been a great trip.
But I will not have the Muddies fitted yet.

Driving Ellis track in the dark will be a little extreme for my liking though.

[greyghost]

i'm interested.
but might have to catch you on the trail, as i don't finish work until 10pm
we'll see closer to the date

[Jonno]

yeh yeh, it will be all fixed by then - thanks for your help collecting bits on the weekend Steve

But I cant make that date so you should have a trouble free night without me, right?
