Update: Scores finalised

Thank you for your patience over the Easter break. First on the agenda was to finalise the scores. There are no changes to all prize placings, these were verified in detail in the short time between the running of the last truck and the presentation. We have now had time to re-check all the stage scores and found some errors in the released provisional score sheet.

Changes in Detail

  • Army Barbie on “S9 – Mickey Thompson Jaw Breaker” scored 88 not 36 points
  • Team Home Brand on “S10 – Opposite Lock Rock Garden” scored 0 not 41 points
  • Rumble Rock Toy on “S11 – Allied Wheels Heartbreak Ridge” scored 42 not 38 points
  • Macarthur 4×4 on “S11 – Allied Wheels Heartbreak Ridge” scored -15 not 15 points
  • Black Betty on “S12 – 4×4 Accessories Store Rocky Horror” scored 37 not -18 points

These changes effected the total scores of some other teams which were awarded course averages on some stages.

The full score sheet has been updated online. Download the full score sheet PDF

We are looking at alternative score recording methods for the future with the potential of live updates to competitors and spectators.

Tuff Truck Challenge 2011 Shirt Designs

By webmaster

Each year a new colour is chosen for official Tough Dog Tuff Truck Challenge merchandise. Each year people run to the end of the Exhibitors Alley, and into the merchandise tent to see what colour will represent the event.

With the growing popularity of social media and the rapid following of the Tuff Truck Facebook page (over 800 followers in just over a month – do you ‘like’ us?) we have noticed that there is a great interest to know the shirt colour ahead of time.

For the first time ever we will now announce the official colour of the 2011 Tough Dog Tuff Truck Challenge merchandise before the event: hot pink. 1 week to go!
