Lowmead 3 Car Comp 2011
The Lowmead 3 car competition is one of the biggest comp truck events in Queensland and attracted a big field of 45 cars in 2011. The competition is full on and very fiercely fought. The idea is simple, there are 3 comp trucks in each team and each team has to get their 3 trucks through each stage in the quickest time possible without incurring any penalties.
There is always plenty of action with rollovers, broken suspension, broken drive-shafts, plenty of launching of trucks out of the gullies and more action than you can poke a stick at. The stages include typical gully tracks, reversing tests, a man made track that includes some pretty difficult obstacles including a tyre wall, a night stage and a GPS navigation stage.
The Lowmead event is held on Private property about 125km south of Gladstone and is extremely competitor and spectator friendly. There was hundreds of spectators at the 2011 event and they were not disappointed. The night stage was especially popular and was really a sprint stage around a large open field and included a great hill-climb and some hairy sideways action.
There are a bunch of video links below and are well worth a look. You can also follow what is happening with the event on the Lowmead Facebook Page.
