We were very pleased to receive two further nominations this week. Welcome to…
Phillip Kerr, from Alice Springs, NT
Phil is the new owner of the ex-Andrew Travis Datsun 1600 – a car that has twice won the COT. Phil and co-driver Ken Callanan are very active in the local scene; they are vice-President of the Central Australia Rally Sport Club and President of the Off Road Club respectively. It’s great to have a second Alice Springs crew in the event.

Phil and Ken’s mount for the COT – the ex-Travis Datsun 1600.
Joel Wald, from Melbourne, Vic
Joel must have really enjoyed his strong third outright in the recent State Bank Discovery Trial Rerun – he’s signed up for a whole lot more outback rallying. Joel will be running his Tayell Automotive Datsun Stanza.

A hearty COT welcome to Philip, Joel and their teams! And, thank you for your nominations.
We’ve just learned that Tracey Dewhurst is co-driving with Joel in the Stanza – welcome to you too Tracey!
