THE AMAZING RACE
Just like the TV show but in your
4WD, you look for a clue at a GPS location. There will be an instruction
to do a novel 4wd activity then instructions to find your next
destination. Over the 3 days you will experience Victoria's Nth
West Deserts. This will be right up there with the greatest 4wd
adventures you can have with family and friends.
It is not a timed event, so it will not
affect your vehicle insurance. Road tyres are very suitable for
this event as well.
You
will be navigating, looking for clues, follow instructions and
conducting bizarre exercises along the way. There will be all
sorts of twists and surprises but unlike the TV show, nobody gets
eliminated.
So
long as it is reliable, virtually any 4WD & AWD will be up
to this one. There should be no need for scratching or damage
and even off road camper trailers can be dragged along. There
are no classes or limitations and all we need is for drivers to
be licensed and vehicles to be registered.
We
will be having one base bush camp so you don't have to pack up
each morning and take everything with you. No night activities
other than social camp fires. We will have games & prizes
for the kids. No catering provided so BYO food, water, etc...
except for presentation night. The course layout will accommodate
service stations/general stores for refuelling and supplies. LPG
no problem.
What
do I need? Firstly, it is one 4wd/Awd vehicle per team, although
there is nothing wrong in pairing up. But all vehicles must have
a GPS, UHF radio, basic recovery equipment, and a great
sense of adventure. Winches and diff locks will not be
required. Greater detail will be available upon entry.
What
is supplied? Other than an excellent time, all maps, notes,
etc are provided for each vehicle. Our good sponsors
at Meridian Maps are supplying every competitor and official with
their excellant map Victoria's Desert as well as other prizes
of maps and map CD's.www.meridianmaps.com.au
Where
do we start? There will be one base bush camp; located
near Horsham.
What
prizes are for offer? Cash Prizes and trophies are awarded
up to 10th place. Presentation will be made on the conclusion
of the event around a huge bonfire with
food, drinks and alcohol provided in your entry fee.
Silverstone
are one of the major cash contributors and naming rights of this
event.

Feel
free to copy this form, fax it or pass it around to fellow four
wheel drive enthusiasts. In every case the early bird gets the
worm. We will close the entries when we reach the maximum quota.
The
cost is $320
per vehicle, regardless of how many people you squeeze into
it.
