David, on a competition like this, and working only from the description of the course, I would put my money on the hardbody.
The major difficulty will probably be threading the vehicle between the markers, much easier in a hardbody than a Patrol (except maybe Thabbies's shorty).
Maybe I am just worried about some of those axle twisters and up hills that I saw the Patrols walk, and us poor HB's just turned off onto the chicken route
