Lincomb event dates ??

[karl webster]

Hi All.

This goes out to the guys and gals that have part in (LIncomb) weekends.

Is this happening this year? If so have we any dates yet? The girlfriend has to get her holiday dates in as who she works for wont let her have time off if two other people are off on the same day. I'm sure other people are in this position.

Would be great to have some dates if it is going ahead please so I have something to look forward to

Also I have to decide wether I'm moting the off roader this year or its time for her to hit the graveyard.

Thanks in advance

So, is Lincomb happening this year?

 

[karl webster]

Everyone else can see the replies Ryan. Your just not welcome this year

You would turn up anyway. I've only seen you at one. That was the time you tried to kill yourself near the bomb hole.

 

[BRE Fabrications LTD]

One! I'm pretty sure I have been to more than one, though with all the Rum and Gavs heavy hand I can't be completely sure...

I say we just pick a weekend go rock up. I'm sure Tony won't kick us off the farm.

 

[karl webster]

Im only playing.
Sounds good to me.

I have dropped off of the organising team but have sent a nudge email. Hopefully they will post something soon.

I have dropped off of the organising team...

Does that mean you'll be 'competing' this year then Ian?

Depends if the Mog is allowed to attend or not

 

[stumog]

Alot of comps dont allow portals unless its in a superdooper moded class. do you have different classes at lincomb??

[Ian Rubie]

There has not been a class system to date, way too many variables to make it worth while. The last event I went to with a class system put a standard 80 on road tyres in to the modified class, mind you the mods were mainly based on Land Rovers so maybe it was fair

 

[stumog]

thats the trouble with the class system.

I did one in my 90 with 1 winch that was classed as stdso happy days. you could also enter the std class with bead lockers and fiddle brakes which both things shouldnt be classed as std.

You know it is







So long as we all get a go in it!!!

 

[Ian Rubie]

That particular club ran a system where each "traction aid" added a point. So a winch or a single axle diff lock put you in standard +1, having two axle diff locks put it in the top class.

None of that nonsense at Lincomb, turn up, drive, have fun.

A few people had a go last time, I'm sure the same can happen again. Will be good to attend the event from the other side so to speak. Turning circle, lack of power steering and lack of power will count against it for the special stages.

Aye, I had a trundle out with Jay Dubbleyuh at the helm of 'Flossie' - what a hoot!!! I was able to do some blackberrying from the passenger seat as we were 'wheeling'!!! Vay tasty

Hope you like the 'mog's name bytheway

 

[Ian Rubie]

Dare I ask how you arrived at that name. It seems to stray away from my usual naming convention, red car, green car etc.
