Alpine 4x4 Challenge

The Alpine 4x4 Challenge has been postponed until September 2009

After discussion with CCDA members we believe it is better to postpone the event rather than put together a rushed event on a new property that currently does not live up to standard.

The dates for 2009 will be the first weekend of the Victorian school holidays which is September 18th - 21st, 2009.

We have given the current list of competitors an option to keep their place on the list for 2009. Before the end of August we will announce the current list and open it to new competitors as we know this event fills up pretty much straight away.

We apologise for the postponement of the event, but we know that 2009 will live up to the standard of previous events and will offer the best high country competition four wheel driving.

This is also a reminder not to use tracks we have previously used for the Alpine Challenge as they are private property and not available. Their use could jeopardise any future event.

The Alpine 4x4 Challenge Winners in 2007

The Alpine 4x4 Challenge is a winter 4x4 team-based event at Dinner Plain where highly modified four wheel drive vehicles compete over four days in the rugged Victorian High Country. The event is unique to Australia and being so close to Melbourne is already popular with four wheel drive enthusiasts. Enter a team of two vehicles for $350 per vehicle. Details of vehicle eligibility can be downloaded from the CCDA website, www.ccda.4wd.org.au.

The event is held on the first weekend of the Victorian school holidays in September each year. Competitor registration and scrutineering goes from Saturday through to midday Monday - competition on private property - Monday afternoon is the presentation.

Watch them tackle vertical ascents, crawl down steep inclines and of course make their way through bottomless bog holes. Come along and watch the country's best four wheel drivers compete in mud and snow. Entry is only $10 per day. Great family fun. Come for the day (Saturday or Sunday) or stay for the whole weekend there's plenty to do while you are visiting at Dinner Plain or nearby Mt Hotham.
