Round 1Â of the 2016 CAMS PGS Industries Western Australian Off-Road Racing Championship
The 2016 Rod Hatter Memorial Duel In The Dirt Perenjori 360 was held in the townsite of Perenjori, in the northern agricultural region of Western Australia, 348 kilometres north of Perth and 39 kilometres south-east of Morawa. The event was Round 1 of the 2016 CAMS PGS Industries West Australian Off-Road Championship, and Round 1 of the WA Off-Road Tri series.
Held on 5-6 March 2016 (the Labour Day long weekend) at the Perenjori oval and surrounding farm land, and in hot, dry, dusty conditions, this race was a real test of endurance. Of 22 starters, 14 vehicles completed all seven laps. Congratulations to all WAORRA members who competed and finished, and a special mention goes out to these guys for their podium finishes:
- First outright – Shane and Curt Elphinstone (Pro Buggy #44)
- Second outright – Bradley Cooper (Pro Buggy #968)
- Third outright – Brett Smith and Heath Strawbridge (Prolite Buggy #161).
