New events for Whangamata

[Whanga4x4]

Three events for 2013-14 have now been confirmed.

1/ November 16th 2013 Matariki Forests 4x4 Safari event.

This will be a tag-along event in and around whangamata. Forest roads with a few nice dirt tracks, great look outs and the odd challenge or two. A fun family event.

2/ January 25-26th 2014 Tour de Whanga

This is an event set up for the more adventurous safari people. A forest based event using lots of tracks as stages over a 1.5 day event. We will use the forest roads to get into as much off road tracks as possible. This event is aimed at giving the regular experienced safari/tag-along people or those of you with tuff trucks that would like to take a family member along for an exciting but fun trip.

3/ 17th May 2014 Teams Tour de Whanga

This is an event aimed at the experienced safari guys with a tuff truck mate or for well set up 4x4 trucks. It is along the lines of the January event but staged on more challenging tracks that will require at least 1 winch per team. Each team will be required to complete a set number of stages during the day with points deducted for failure to get all 3 trucks to a stage end.

A huge thanks to the team at Matariki Forests for allowing us access again. We are totally stocked to be able to use the forests assets that surround us here in the Coromandel and thanks to all the team at Whangamata 4x4 club for making this a reality at last.

Now we need all the support we can get to make sure events like these are sucessful and the land owners or businesses like Matariki Forests allow future access for 4x4 clubs.

Just a question. Say i drove my truck there does it have to have a wof and rego etc to join the event. As it does not. But has got the usual tow hooks etc. Is there entry fees etc

If you are driving it to the event then yep, it has to have a rego and wof. If it is a dedicated off road truck then no. Prices and event details will be confirmed later in the year. Cheers...
