The best bit of the event for me was having the
chance to race and enjoy the scenery of such a
great place like Esperance. Good company, tough
competitors and being apart of the toughest comp
in Australia.
My biggest highlight is definitely Joe Vowles stepping up and
shaving his head to raise over $1,300 for our charity
(National Breast Cancer Foundation) that was awesome.
Absolutely fantastic event and we’ll be back.
Cheers Adrian and Lisa Parker.

luck racing the Ironman 4x4
Adventure Challenge and this
year was no different when his
engine blew during SS5...
Ben and Jason Rillstone will
have something to
prove in 2015.

The worst part of the comp for me was blowing
my engine on day one, and not having the
opportunity to finish the event. But on the
upside, I got to return to Perth, grab my family,
explore more of Esperance and join the boys for
presentations. Giddy up - will be back next year,
hopefully to shake up a few Mexicans!!

This was our first event in this car an we had a lot more
problems with the car than hoped for. It was thrown together in
3 months and using secondhand parts so probably couldn’t have
expected much more. It definitely tested our patience but we
pushed on and fixed what we had to and got back into the event
to give it our best shot to at least try finish the last stage at
Shamrock. We had heaps of fun playing in the mud but we
didn’t quite finish the stage due to the rear diff needing to go to
the dentist and get some new teeth. All in all we enjoyed every
stage we did, they were all different, and they were all a challenge.
