Well my other hobby officially started on the weekend:


more pics latter. We happily finished 14th outright despite running without brakes at all for the last 90kms
EDIT we even got a special mention here : http://www.offroadracing.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=700:styles-on-top-in-the-west&catid=17:events-western-australia&Itemid=475
we didn't actually roll over but we did take out a few trees while on 2 wheels

Looks great fun James, i would love to do things like that

Congrats AJ. I know you were talking about racing last year and its good to see your finally doing it. But that had to be scary as all hell knowing you were running with no brakes.

The perseverance award for the weekend should go to Wayne Panomarenko and James Kenneison (769) who completed full race distance after rolling the Toyota Hilux into a tree, the car coming to a stop with the roof wedged into the vegetation. The car pulled upright the crew continued racing, only to suffer a broken brake line and finish the last lap and a half with no brakes.

That's some serious racing! !! :explosion: !!! :nailbiting:

sweet vid james.
At about 4.12 into the vid james truck appears.awesome.

That brilliant mate!

I can only imagine the fun you guys had!

Is this an annual race? - It reminds me of the dukes of Hazard (only cooler with the 4x4)

yeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Yeah it's an annual event. There are 5 state rounds the next one held over the Easter long weekend. It is also the first race of the National series so we'll be competing against vehicles from around the country. They will be 112km laps (reknowned for huge jumps) so fitness (or lack of it) will be an issue Our main goal this year is just to finish every race, aiming towards stepping up in class next year. I must thank my mate Wayne (driver & major sponsor) without him I'd be sitting on the couch.

Looks like you have a right laugh James, Looking forward to reading your high lights in the next round mate

Another race complete & another 14th outright (5th in class). We really struggled with a lack of top end speed but hit every jump with full commitment/stupidity:

Hly shit you guy's were gettn some good air on those jump's
Bunch of Dirty Harry's,YEEEEEHAWWWWW. Kik ass footage way to go James.

Some pics from last weekends event:

That video and them pics make it look like fun, now haveing just lost my job maybe I should suggest to the mrs about emigrating to australia so I can have a go

That looks like one hell of a good time!

We got to play in the mud :

Looks like fun AJ!!

On a slightly related theme, we just got word of the route the Australian leg of the World Rally Championships next month which is happening in my town (little old Coffs Harbour). The start is happening directly in front of my shop!

man that looks like alot of fun , missing my jeep even more now

especialy that movie clip looks awsome

Season ended with a bang- we finished 14th outright in the last race (5th in class for the year). The Hilux will get a full rebuild over the off season & we look forward to next season.

Wow what a great hobby, that must be loads of fun to do in the weekends!!!!

Great vid and soundtrack too.

Just saw the vid's of your racing last season,way to go.

all ready for the new season- except the first race got cancelled due to rain
