Baja action near helidon-real off-roaders
Saw some great baja action today at the new "Baja Park" a couple of minutes from Helidon,(10 minutes from Toowoomba). Owner Brendan has set up a
pretty cool track on his land, featuring some high speed and dusty bends ,short straights,and a couple of bog holes to make things interesting. The
spectator area was set up in the middle of the track and was right near the biggest bog hole featuring a nice jump on the other side,great for
photography. We met some other Klub veedubbers and had a good time watching ,but most people will agree It would be more fun actually participating!
Well done to everyone who was involved in organising the event. Keep it casual and watch out for my Baja kombi at the next event. P.S. Where were the
buggies?They would have been covered in mud,like us spectators.:beer

Bajas
I just passed the green and the blue ones travelling in convoy back to Bris. Funny, I was in the comfort of my new 4WD, but when I saw how mud
spattered they I couldnt help but want to swap them..

Hey moniek,where's new beetle baja?
I discussed with Moniek from klub vw bayside about how cool a nice shiny new beetle would look bajafied. Well I've been thinking about it and I
reckon a couple hours with my trusty angle grinder, a visit to the wreckers for some longer springs and a set of 30inch mud tyres I've got sitting
out the back and you'd be looking the business. Everyone seemed to have plough understeer on the damp parts of the track so your new beetle would fit
right in.If you really wanted to do some drifting all you'd have to do is drive in reverse!That would be real cool:jesus

What is required lisence and insurance wise? Does it have to be a street car? and do u have to have a road lisence?
Mates just bought a Offroad Baja (class 4 I think?) but he has lost his road lisence for 3 months. If its on next month count us both in with the
class 4!! (still rebuilding the engine at this point so couldn't amke it 
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

baja park fun
You dont need rego or liscence but if you crash thats your problem. After all on the day Brendan's kids and their friends had just as much fun in
the black bug as anyone else .My kids are hanging to learn power slides and handbrakies, so I'm working on building something special .
