2006 Country Club Tasmania Mountain Circuit Challenge 4 th, 5 th and 6 th November 2006 The weekend started with a compulsory competitors briefing followed by a cocktail party hosted by Country Club Tasmania in the Tasman Room on Friday evening. Everyone got to mingle and check out the competition. On Saturday competitors left the Country Club and made a trek through the countryside to Symmons Plains. One test that had everyone thinking was the Driver/Co-Driver Challenge with drivers having to match the lap time of their co-driver. Sunday started with misty rain but warm until we reached Sheffield. It was so bad that some of us stopped to buy jumpers. Of course later on at Barrington it got too warm and off came the jumpers. After a test at the bottom of Barrington competitors lined up for a median timed test, unfortunately one competitor decided that the corners went straight ahead and landed in the bank just one of those things. Chris Bulk had an engine failure towards the end of the day in his immaculately prepared car. We also had a competitor enter a control twice before it was set-up. Suggestions were that he got terribly lost. A warm day greeted us for the trek to Legerwood where several runs were held on our Hillclimb course. We came back via Scottsdale to the Inveresk precinct where Jason Street proved to be the most spectacular competitor there. 84 Competitors and Officials capped the event off with a Trophy Presentation Dinner at Country Club Tasmania on Monday evening. All outright and class winners received trophies on the night after enjoying a sumptuous meal. Once again thanks to all competitors, we ll be back to run the event next year, we look forward to seeing you there. Of course, without the officials we couldn t have made the event happen. We ll be in touch with you all early in the new year with more details of our 2007 event. The 2006 Country Club Tasmania Mountain Circuit Challenge Organising Committee Page 3 of 10
