The second and third rounds of the 2019-20 National 4x4 Trials will be held at Rangiwahia this weekend.
Manawatu's Mike Gee-Taylor, who is a member of the Wanganui 4WD club, is hosting the Northern Zone Trial tomorrow on the 2247 Rangiwahia Rd property, while Sunday will be the Central Zone Trial at 434 Marshall Rd.
The first round of the series was the 4x4 Rampage, held in early November at Downard Rd near Whakatane.
Turakina's former national champion, truck builder and Extreme 4x4 organiser Dan Cowper won the C Class grade against seven other drivers.
The headline unlimited power D Class grade is missing the presence of Whanganui's former national champion Hamish Auret, who for the second year in a row suffered a serious leg injury right before the season began.
