Navtrac Round 2 - 2003

[lewisb]

NAVTRAC is a navigational event designed to be an introduction to navigational four wheel driving. The event begins at 6am on Saturday morning. 4WD's are started every five minutes from 6:30am onwards. The charted route takes approximately 10 - 12 hours and includes obstacles, checkpoints, observation points and a lunch break. Entrants are given 12 hours from your start time to complete the event, after which time you must take the shortest route to the finish. This is not a competitive event but rather an introduction to 4WD navigational events.

The event is run by Victorian Rovers (a section of the scout assocciation) but is now open to Members of Victorian 4WD clubs.

is there an age limt for navigators like do they have to have a license and passengers do they have do be 18? can people on there L's drive. can we have some regulations like do we need GPS

[lewisb]

normal vic roads rules apply, therefore your navigator does not need to be licenced, however they MUST NOT DRIVE.

Learners are not permitted to drive however.

hope this helps

Nice i hope to be going the only downfall is im 13 my uncle is talking about going so with a bit of luck i could hopefully be there ;D do you know if the rovers still do mud bash at yea? also do the trucks have to be redistered

[lewisb]

Rovers still do mudbash, but with no buggies due to insurance currently.

Yes all vehicles entered in nactrac have to be registered and roadworthy. Normal vic road rules apply as we are on public roads.
