OUTLAW REPORT..
There was plenty of extreme “Outlaw” action experienced
over Round Two, of “Superior All Terrain Challenge” weekend.
Competitor numbers were up from last year despite the
freezing temperatures.
New buggies, new drivers and spectators fronted to make
for a weekend of good driving and a fun experience for all involved.
On day one in “Outlaw”; we saw Michael “Tiny” Smart with
spotter; Matty push the Team MMF Hilux to it’s limits again
with roll over action, providing the crowd with a good
view of it’s underbelly in stage one.
Jamie Hughes debuted Cookie’s new buggy in the comp but a
drive shaft problems saw him out of the comp by Saturday afternoon.
Aaron and Lynda also debuted their new green buggy the
“Gecko”, with Lynda as the only female “Spotter”.
Damien McCotter & Spotter Tony Rolfe took out 2nd place
on the Final day in the New ’07 Yuri Buggy missing 1st place
by only a few seconds.
“I was leading coming into the finals, then a slippery rock
cost me a little time” he says.
This was only the second opportunity that Damien had to
spend time in the drivers’ seat of the new 2007 buggy
and he was happy with the results.
7th place went to Tina McCotter (Damien’s Wife) driving
the 2006 Yuri Buggy and the only female driver in Outlaw
class. She missed the top five placing by only 5 points
but did however take the trophy for “Top Female Driver”
over all classes for the weekend.
“I’m just starting to get a feel for the vehicle now,
more time in the seat and look out boys!” said Tina.
6th Place also went to the Yuri ’06 Buggy with Tony Rolfe
as the Driver and Damien McCotter as apprentice “Spotter”.
Sunday Finals - action time - and the top five were
fighting it out for the crown.
One Stage only seemed to be over in moments but still was
worth the viewing.
Mick Garner piloted Haultech’s U.S built Chevy buggy to
first place.
Damien and Tony 2nd in the spectacular ’07 Yuri Buggy.
Richard Nowlan drove the Mog Rover in his first competition
and placed third in an impressive display of natural
driving skill.
Rodney Owen placed forth and wowed the crowd with his metal
shearing throttle every day, a joy to watch but
unfortunately cost him the points and the $$$$$$!!!!
And fifth went to Rhett Bryant who smoked the “Cut Zook”
on tiny 35’s and 15 psi boost all weekend,
to then go home and deliver his new born son “Tristan”
6 hours later!!!!
Life will never be the same again!

We would like to thank this young fella Heath for his
pictures of the event
i'm heath, i run a website called
www.moddedgu.piczo.com um i'm really into the competition and
weekend warrior stuff just like my dad. one day i plan on doing
events like superior because the event is well organised and has good
action and can be entered by not having to many mods.
my family and i try and go to the most events as we can
but sometimes something just gotta give. i try and do as much
photography at events as possible without going along the border
lines of getting into trouble i went to superior rnd 1 and rnd 2 i
liked some of the new idea's which had happened like the night runs. we
also like superior because it is held at a wonderfully park like landcruiser
park, and not to far to travel and becasue it's a very family and
dog friendly park.

Best regards,
