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 :redface:

Hi,

If I can have some front recovery point fitted on Tuesday or Wednesday, can I still enroll?
If I can(mr PC?) then I'm in.

You must have recovery points. The marshals have to check that you do have at least some form of recovery point in front and rear.
