The Mudrun 2017

[The Yeti]

This is a mate of mines post about the weekend just gone and the Mud Run. Held in a teeny country town called Gresford about 3hrs north of Sydney, entrants get to cut laps of the course at the local showgrounds - the muddier the better :mrgreen:

We took our club Commer up for a run, with a few improvements like side pipes to get the sound outside the van better. Here she is about to go out for our second run...


Which went south about 20 seconds later


Whilst sideways, the front tyre hooked into a rut and the tyre was unseated from the rim. Combined with the narrow track on the front, she rolled right over. Thankfully no one was hurt, but the Commer has seen better days!


Check out the different angles of the upper section.


Watching the replay :


With the Commer out of action we kicked back to enjoy watching everyone else.


























































After another great day it was time to have a few drinks and spark up the fire to ward off the cold winter night, and ponder what to do with the running gear from the Commer...

Must have been a blast because everyone looks occupied or happy. Last pic is just cherry on the cake.

Mate it was awesome, even if we only got 1 round and 15 seconds into the next.

The phone call home to my wife just in case someone tagged me on Facebook wasn't fun especially as my 16yo son was next to me whe it went over wasn't a lot of fun. But that's to be expected.

Here's a video a guy I know posted of the event https://youtu.be/Q0Ssfu_DJro

That's about the size of it

We're working on a plan to bring her back but options for widening the front track are limited
