Saturday,09 August 2014 CSBP PROLOGUE The event officially started with a Show & Shine at Esperance Independent Tyres at 12pm where competitors welcomed the public to view their cars and an overview of the event was given. But after all the excitement it was Peter Mihailoff (Hoon) and Ben Gurney in car 02 that set fastest time to beat of 12:05:25 for both laps. Competitors left Ironman Headquarters at 6:30pm and convoyed into town to the CSBP Compound on Sheldon Road where a bunted course was set. UNLEASH the ponies... Before lining up, all racecars were to go on the weighbridge to determine the start order - heaviest car to the lightest. Colm Arthur (heaviest car and first to start) wasn‘t wasting anytime as he drove past the speed alert sign which lit up with THE PONIES“. A SMOOTH PROLOGUE STAGE... meant the competitors could be escorted through the McDonalds’s Drive-Thru... the last time they’d see takeaway food for a week. “UNLEASH MAKE SURE YOUR SPARE PARTS ARE SECURED... Colm Arthur from DAMM Racing “Unleashed the Ponies” on this stage and later realised he had lost his spare winch motor at some stage during the two laps of the course. It wasn’t until Dan McAdam from Ruff Road Media posted a photo to Facebook that we realised he had taken the photo at the exact time the winch motor was being ejected from the back of the car. stage winners mitchell gould justin colby #16 DNF time: 15 minutes IRONMAN 4X4 ADVENTURE CHALLENGE MAGAZINE PAGE: 7| AUGUST 2014 IRONMAN 4X4 ADVENTURE CHALLENGE MAGAZINE PAGE: 7| AUGUST 2014
