Ian organised a day out at Colo after Christmas for some of the members to give them some harder driving options. The rain was still around but that didn't dampen everyone's interest. We had a few hiccups on the way to the meeting point as the 'LJ' had a wiring problem on the Cumberland Highway and thanks to the NRMA who did a make-shift wiring fix up, we arrived an hour late (much to the delight of everyone else who did not let us live it down the whole day). Ah well guys better late than never they say.

We tried out one track that was really interesting and Paul needed some help as his tyre came off the rim, but the others in the group - Brad, James, Ian & Wayne were experts at this having encountered the problem heaps of times in their competitive experiences. We were soon on our way again but unfortunately the track came to a halt and more work needed to widen it, so we decided to turn around and head off to another powerline track.

Once everyone aired down, we started our way along the winding track and came across some good drop offs and climbs that put our guiding skills to the test. It was great to see everyone have a go at guiding each other down or up the track and it showed how much our newer members have learnt in their short time in the Club....great job guys

With the unexpected late start, time was getting away from us and so we stopped for lunch at the top of one of the better steps at around 2.00pm and then we made our way back down to head off home.

It was a really great day out with some excellent challenging tracks culminating in some top driving by all the drivers. Everyone joined in the guiding and rock building tasks and made it a real team event.

Can't wait for the next day out to get even further along the track
