Default AMAZING RACE FOR 4WD'S (Vic) Queen's Birth. June 11-13th

Firstly this event is not a race as such, more a navigational challenge, so your TAC & vehicle insurance is not affected.

Just like the TV show but in your 4WD, you look for a box at a GPS location and in it will be an envelope with your name on it. There will be an instruction to do a novel 4wd activity then instructions to find your next destination. Over 3 days you will experience the Sunset Country & the Big Desert in Victoria's Nth West. This will be right up there with the greatest 4wd adventures you can have with family and friends.

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 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.

Bush camping at night in different locations so you will be packing up each morning and taking everything with you. No night activities other than social camp fires. No catering provided so BYO food, water, etc... The course layout will accommodate service stations/general stores for refuelling and supplies.

What do I need? Firstly, it is one 4wd vehicle per team although there is nothing wrong in pairing up. But all vehicles must have a GPS, UHF radio, basic recovery equipment, tough all terrain tyres such as Pro Comps 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. Prizes and trophies are awarded up to 10th place. Presentation of awards will be at a local watering hole at Murrayville where an all you can eat buffet meal will be provided inc. in your event fee.

The cost is $320 per vehicle, regardless of how many people you squeeze into it. The entry fee covers 2 adults for the buffet meal. Any extra persons over 10 years is an extra $15 each. Under 10 years of age is $7.00 per child.

For more details call NavRun Headquarters (Rudi Paoletti) (03) 9789 6985 or email me on navrun@netlink.com.au

We have had an overwhelming response to this event. We have decided it will be an annual event in this region amongst our other events for 2006 as there is no other event like it in Australia.

Vancancies are still available for this unique event so if your thinking about it get your entry form in by logging onto www.navrun.com.au

we still have about 10 vacancies left. Still expecting a few entry forms to come in, you know how it is always the last minute.

If anyone is interested please don't wait the last minute, at least reserve a spot just in case.
