JUST GOT A PHONE CALL FROM PISTOL PETE.... Passed 4 trucks, and caught on fire!!! He has extinguished the fire, and is back in action. Yes, he called me on his cell phone! hahaha

Is Pistol racing the pre-runner or the moon-buggy?

How do they match the motor direction to the trans direction?

true, I'm sure some groups in our community wouldn't be too keen on a leg that included a lap up and over Ayers Rock, down through parts of Kings canyon and up and over the olgas!

surely far north western australia would be perfect country for it...albeit pretty remote and a logistical feat to run an event such as whats on the vid.

Johnson Valley is three hours from Vegas and 2 hours from Los Angeles.

So, no we have nothing like it here in OZ.

We could easily run that sort of event at Manar 4WD park, years ago POS and i found almost unlimited amounts of awesome stuff to drive, which is linked by ~150Kms of tracks. All on the one property!! and all legal to run buggies!! all the amenities needed and a major town 50mins away.

but really who would come?? who would sponsor it?? or do you just have $3000 entry fees like OBC. Surely there are plenty of places in NSW to run similar!! why dont one of you cockroachs organise something!!!

How well do the flipped diffs wear running the wrong way?

I watched some of that Pirate TV... jeez those Septics are a mad lot! Rolling Eyes

Some sensational buggies and driving though. Cool
