Massive Field ready for the Perenjori Classic
Once again the McPhee Freight, Gturbo Perenjori Classic has proven to be a popular even for the season opener with a massive 60 entries received. This marks the 3rd consecutive year the event has sold out and been at capacity. Unfortunately a few withdrawals have meant that only 57 competitors will greet the start line but nonetheless a fantastic field will be on track. Headlining the entry list are current Outright Champion Adam Trewhella and multiple time outright champion Jared Percival. They will be for sure locked in a tough battle for supremacy.
There is a strong field of 9 Pro Buggies with some dark horses in amongst them. The Wells Racing team are back with 2 Pro Buggies whilst Kalgoorlies Paul Nappy has also nominated and will be hoping for a good run. Craig Trewhella also makes his return to the drivers seat and Dave Rowett could be a dark horse for the outright win. Mark Cramer and Deon Visagie round out the Pro Buggy field which really is stacked and anyone could take the win
The Prolites will be hoping to knock off their higher horsepower comrades, led by Stephen Ketteridge-Hall who will be the class favourite. Rob Sobczyk will be hoping to hunt him down, but don’t write off Batson or Davis in another closely matched class
Super 1650 see De With, Pacey and Chapman do battle whilst in Sportslite Cj Green and Lee Marsh will be locked in a duel
Performance 2wd will see a pair of Junior Development Program Entries compete for supremacy. In the Extreme 2wd we have a trio of entrants with Richardson, Krepp and Green set to lock horns
The SXS class features a mammoth 25 entrants where its anyone’s game! Caldwell, Bell and Delacy will be 3 of the favourites but there is massive depth and talent in this field. Bush, Nollas, Hansen, Dec and Melling just a few of the competitors expected to run up the front. There are also some junior entrants with Jarrod Sewell and Logan Gill being some of the young and up and coming drivers set to take part in the Classic.
Production 4wd will have Bentink and Taylor battle it out once again. The familiar site of this Toyota vs Nissan battle should be an entertaining one. Extreme 4wd Buggy sees the solitary entrant of Peer Horn take the start
The Extreme 4wd class will be well contested again with a range of experienced and new competitors set to duke it out. Mark Murray, Chris Dawes and Warren Classen being some of the regulars whilst the young Brodie Richardson, the 3rd entry of the WA Off Road Junior Development Program and newcomer Aaron Cassidy make up the rest of the field
