    :woohoo:
    It starts proper tomorrow with all the big names ready to go ;)
    ill be interesting to see how the boys & Annie handle Cyril Despres out here for the first time :whistle:

    I think Grabbo is confident after recovering from his broken hand at Finke, but it will be a tall order to hold off the Flying Frenchman :woohoo:

    Also, A Big GOOD LUCK to our own SB (Stuart Bowen):) Go Hard Mate

    Our one & only Old Bull in the Safari SB250Y (stuart Bowen) had prolouged well in 24th overall in 18m 41sec ;)
    Another guy to watch is Newcastle lad Troy O`Connor right up in 4th overall in a good time of 16m 20sec :woohoo:

    Jake Smith leads with 16m 05sec and Mt Frenchman Cyril Despres 8th with 16m 44 sec :whistle:

    Pace is pretty hot from all reports and the top 10 are real close, should make for a ripper start to the stages tomorrow ;)

    There are still more results to be posted tonite, but I think the main contenders are sorted for now

    just like to mention that Todd Smith must be one tough bugger. he dislocated his hip at our local motocross track about 3 weekends ago and is now in the Aus Safari.
    Hope Troy O’Conner does well. Go the privateer!

    Looks like Grabbo has had some early probs on SS1:whistle:
    He was down to 10th and half hour off the front,,, Good News is that Cyril Despres is only about 5 seconds in front of him ;)

    Some real good pics filtering thru from the event (like the one of CD above in TB`s post) :woohoo:

    No wuckers,

    Forgot to add Old Bull SB250y was in 26th and 1hour off the front after SS1 ;)
    Not bad really especially considering the calibre of the competition
    SS2 results will be finalised in an hour ar two, so things will change slightly ,,,,

    I love these events,,, It`s good to watch how it`s done & dream :laugh:

    Eagle there must have been a timing clitch or the front two they are saying took a short cut because the front two are 25 mins in front of Australias best and Cyril and that doesn’t gel eh
