Matt Coombs - Foundation 97 - 40th Tatts Finke Desert Race

Date: 09th June 2015 | Category: GORBA NEWS
Hi Everyone,

This is a courtesy to let you know that fellow Club Member, Matt Coombs took on the:
 
Event:     40th Tatts Finke Desert Race.  
                Round 2 - Australian Off Road Championship

Date:       Fri 5th - Mon 8th June, 2015

 
It was Matt's first attempt at this event and he was successful in completing the first day of 200 unforgiving and gruelling kms on his Quad.  Unfortunately due to knees and back issues and a small clutch issue, Matt decided it best to call it a day. 

And what a day!!!!    A massive effort, that not too many would take on.....

At the same time he was also raising awareness and money for Foundation 97.

We sincerely congratulate Matt and his team (aka Dad, Jim) for an awesome job and for representing the Club.

I'm sure there are lots of stories to be told, and memorable moments never to be forgotten, not to mention some very weary bones.
