The JBS Summer Challenge
On a sunny weekend in August we entered and did the JBS Summer Challenge , which was at two sites which we fairly close to us .So it was rude not to do it
They were at the Slindon site near Chichester, and the Grand Canyon Site near Brighton.
I entered with Mark my usual co driver and went along with my brother Julian and his other half Vicky. The weekend was very good and very tough . Here are some of the photos of the weekend

Most people got stuck on this one (including me) and had to use waffle boards or winches to get out. Julian got a little stuck as he front dived into the other bank |
| But a little back and a bit more from his 4.2 V8 and he came out and went on to set a blinding time | ![]() |

Me by my truck at the end of the second day, sat like this to get out of the Sun, as it was so hot that weekend |
| Mark and I came third which we were well pleased with for
our first JBS event
Julian and Vicky came 9th which was great for them as they have just started to compete in these events |
