Another tough event by the TFC team. Enjoyed it immensely, especially the bit at the end. Thanks guys, I hope we will be back next year to defend the win.
Both trucks held up well, mine needed a fresh alternator, a tyre and a brake repair, Chris bust a brake hose and trapped his fuel line with the spare wheel so nothing too dramatic.
We had the rock crawl as our first section and just took the rest in sequential order as they came. Missed No 6 as it was blocked, no. 11 was something else!!

Yes and no. They were there as general hangers-on but were unable to compete as they had "mechanical issues". Any comments about deliberately destroying engines, gearboxes etc in fear of being soundly thrashed this year are simply malicious rumours.  Karl Frost kindly gave a prize to Bathtub (as Jim M had retired early) and team as "1st class star prize for not F**king winning". He then started begging to be guaranteed a place for 2009.
