On Sunday July 25th the Palmerston North Off Roaders Club held a Club day at Wall Road, North of Foxton. The venue was basically a fairly flat paddock with a muddy track that wound it’s way in and out of a grove of Macrocarpa and other trees. The six lap races kept the small crowd of spectators entertained with some interesting cornering in the muddy conditions and a couple of bumps on the main straight which had cars airborne. Drivers included Richie Ryder and Renee Veenendaal of Otaki in their 1600cc VW powered Off Roader, Peter Hogg of Levin in a Toyota powered Off Roader and Daniel Knight of Levin in his 1600cc VW powered Off Roader.
The most potent racer vehicle on the day, although not always the fastest, was the class 8 Thundertruck of Martin Van Der Wal from Otaki which is a purpose built, Off Road race truck powered by a 4000cc, mid mounted, Toyota Lexus V8 engine.

Despite the rain over the weekend there was a good turnout for the first of the new season’s Sled Dog race meetings in the North end of Waitarere Forest over Queens Birthday weekend. Some like Hiuwai Hui came all the way from Auckland to compete and came eighth in the single dog scooter class on her dog “Tequila” who is half Siberian Husky and half Malamute.
