This prestigious local event has been conducted for 33 years and has become one of the most prestigious events on the NSW Off Road Racing Calendar, attracting a field of 64 local and interstate entrants.

It is Round 3 of the NSW Off Road Championship, Round 1 of the Premier NSW Long Course Championship and Round 2 of the East Coast Tri Challenge.

Day 1 (Saturday) Was very action packed with the running of prologue (to set race start times) and Race 1 of medium course (6 laps x 11kms).

The day was full of action for spectators which included roll overs, and plenty of sideways action.

Day 2 (Sunday) did not disappoint with more action for not only our competitors out on the track but also our sideline spectators who certainly received value for money.

The day started with Race 2 of the medium course (4 laps x 11kms) and then spectators enjoyed 3 a breast start in race 3 for the short course (4 laps x 5.3kms).

It was tight, fast, furious and a little bit hectic over the first jump and into the first corner.

After lunch the entire field (or at least those still running - 42 cars!!) left the arena to tackle the mountain for Race 4, long course (6 laps x 18kms).

As always, the Mountain is unforgiving, and we saw many casualties with only 19 vehicles finishing the full distance.

A big congratulation must go to the 'Outright Winner', Josh Howells Car #3 who was also named '2019 Man of the Mountain' which is awarded to the fastest lap of the long course track!

Congratulations to all competitors who tackled the mountain! It's one tough event!
