Lovelock, NV.,
In only their second attempt, Doug & Jason Walker (1993 D110
wagon) of Los Angeles, California won the 2003 Nevada Trophy
12-hours of Nevada. Teamed with son Adam Walker and Deakin
Hodge (97 D90), the pair was impressive when seen in action
early Saturday morning climbing a ridge where they search and
found 4 waypoints hidden in a 5 step waterfall (dry). The pair
was later seen on the dry lake completing the multi task
navigation test, and were very impressive. At 10:30pm, after
12-hours of driving, Mike Green (creator and Executive Director
of NVTR
www.offroadexperience.com) sent all participants off on a
final Special Task. This involved at route book the likes of
WRC, the twist was there was 5 waypoints along the route, the
participants had to find 3 of the 5, keep the mileage of the car
to 9.5 miles (which means to find the waypoint they would have
to park the vehicle along the edge of the rough course and walk
- which a number of people didn't do!), and get back to the
finish in the Fastest Time. Walker won this task too! With a
Maximum of 92,200 points available, Walker totaled 41,800.
In Second place was Doug's teammate of Walker/Hodge with 40,900
points.
Finishing Third was Two-Time NVTR winner Wanye VanNorsdall
(29,700) in his 1991 Range Rover. |
