Finke Desert Race

Post by Matt » Mon May 28, 2012 10:44 pm

Probably not the right folder but anyways, Whos going out the Finke this year? Any Subi's? Anyone racing off here? I am riding out my DRZ with a group of us from Townsville later this week supported on the way out and unsupported on the way back. (I know i am crazy) Read super long range tanks, saddle bags, etc.

Cool,
Has brumby runner still got his comp car?
Haven't read all his thread but know he missed the first two years at finke.
If he's still got it he might.

According the list there's an E something 6 cylinder subaru in the pro buggy class.

I'm glad I scrolled to the bottom of the page to read the bolt text about applications, Brumbyrunner's entry is just above there.

Best of luck BR!! I'm keen to see it live but it's not going to happen for some time :( So loads of pics from those that will be there would be great!

Cheers
