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 Wimmera's Desert Region of Victoria. 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 with a good
clearance will be up to this one. There should be no need for
scratching or damage. This is a good fun, family event. 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. We are based only 5 minutes from
a main township, so all supplies and fuel are readily available.
LPG is no problem.
What
do I need? Firstly, it is one 4wd/Awd (with some clearance)
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.
Where
do we start? There will be one base bush camp; located
near Horsham. Bring your caravans, camper trailers, etc. The camp
site is 2WD access.
What
prizes are for offer? A set of tyres, assorted 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.
