4WD Club Trials: Auret misses 4x4 title by inches
April 16, 2018
After six rounds and six months, it all came down to just one point.
The National 4x4 Trials series has a new champion as Auckland's three-time runnerup Scott Biggs got just a high enough placing to finally deny Whanganui rival Hamish Auret in the season finale at the 4x4 Stampede in Turakina on Saturday afternoon.
In a dramatic day on the hill and embankments beside Glencairn Rd, the Wanganui 4WD Club had designed the toughest course of the season, which was made more difficult by the churning mud from the week's worth of rain.
Defending champion Auret climbed back from adversity in the D-Class to all but win the round and with it the season title.
