Engel 4WD Challenge Series – Round 4 Review
Engel 4wd Challenge Series Round 4
Was held from 16th – 18th October 2009 at a new venue in Noojee Victoria.
Noojee is situated 107Km’s east of Melbourne in the Baw Baw Shire,
Round 4 is the last round of the series there was 26 Competitors entry and 12 stages planned 3 on Friday night 6 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday but due to the 84 mm of rain that fell over the previous week and on the Friday there were a few changes made with only 1 stage running on Friday night
With the other 2 closed
Saturday started out looking to be just as wet as Friday night but it cleared up and they were able to run 5 stages there wear a range of challenging tracks with SS6 taking its toll on a truck or tow with 3 rollovers all wear able to self recover but did not complete the SS inside the DNF time
On Sunday 3 stages ran completing the weekend
So We would like to take a moment to thank all of the sponsors of the event; Offroader.com.au, Unlimited Industries, 4wd Action, S.G. Leslie and Sons, Pro Comp, Dynamica Rope, Blackburn 4×4, 4wd TV, SKW 4×4, Southern Cross Canvas Products, Marks 4wd Adaptors and of course the series sponsor Engel. The support of all of these companies are what make it possible for us to put on an event of this magnitude successfully.
The organizing committee for the 2009 Engel Challenge Series Round 4 would also like to take this opportunity to thank The Cross Country Drivers Association (CCDA) and all of the competitors, marshals, spectators, local communities for making this a great event. Without your support it would be impossible to run events such as these.
So on behalf of the Event Organizing committee, we would like to say a big thank you to all involved for making this such a great event.
