R&T is "Road and Track" (Vehicle repair and modification centre based in Kottayam, run by Sam and Kurien)
Please coordinate with Benji or Nikhil, (check the contact details) for registration and accommodation.

We need to confirm the acco by 5th of Feb, or we may lose on the package rate.

Re: R&T Great Mountain Challenge 2012

Robinson,

Thnx for the info. I will be joining in for the event.

Not sure whether my 540 can do the water cross since it lacks the modified air intake/exhaust.
Would need to get this done before the event I guess.
