1998 Cruiserkhana

The 1998 Cruiserkhana for the Toyota Landcruiser Club was held on Sat March 21 and Sunday March 22.

Events included a cross country obstacle course, staircase, watercrossing, rock climb, tyre track and novelty events such as an egg and spoon race (really a pan and tennis ball race!).

This rangie made it through the water, but had trouble with the slippery, rutted exit. The lack of an LSD probably made the difference between success and failure. Other vehicles (yes toyotas too!) without LSDs had similar problems.

All hands on deck to get the rangie out! Well, rubbernecking is a universal occupation isn't it!

The rangie was eventually winched out. The driver received a prize at the end of the day's driving for the entertainment value. He holed his fuel tank on the rock climb! Note that all events were optional and vehicles that took a careful line were able to complete both courses without misshap. The club does not set out to provide vehicle damaging events!

The lesson is, I guess, learn the limitations of your vehicle and drive accordingly!
