Central Zone Club Truck Challenge

Hello everybody,

That was a fun and relaxed weekend, with only 4 of us there, we did 11 courses, started at 10am, to allow for the dew to lift a bit, and we were done by 1, so we headed back for lunch, as we were so chilled it was decided to call it for the day, with Dave M deciding to head home to do some chors while Bruce cleaned his wagon and Richie and I headed back up to collect the pegs. After a couple of bits and pieces to do it was beer o'clock by 3

round results were really down to tyres, with me representing the Wairarapa club winning class 2 on 377.61, Dave M representing Windy City,winning clas 3 on 423.1, we then had Richie also in class 3 representing the Manawatu on 499.4 and Bruce representing Wellington Jeep while learning a lot about his new wagon, in class 3 on 668.1

So the season results:

Class 1 due to completing 2 rounds, manged to take it out, is Dave Seymore

Class 2 was Brendan Watchorn, doing all 4 rounds

Class 3 is Dave McGinnity with completing 3 rounds, and winning each one.

Class 4 with completing 2 rounds was Brent Ward

I am not sure if I have any 2026 Trophies but I'll see if I can make something work and get them to you.

Thanks to all those who did take part this year, we have had a few challenges with fuel prices and things, so the attendances have unfortunately been low.

Going forward, I will not be using this website platform as they are now asking $400 a year, and as the series isn't self funding at the moment its not practible to use this platform and I think, if I decide to hold another season next year, it will probably be done just via email mainly with notifications on some clubs facebook pages, the current facebook that Mark had, we can't get access to for obvious reasons.

Thanks to all the land owners who gave us access to their land and to those who run the rounds, and helped out, it is much appreciated.

Til the next time we catch up, be safe and tread lightly.

Thanks

Brendan
