  So congratulations to Chai Mui Shin and Liew Yun Song for be champs for the event. In credible second are Al Lo (from Mengattal, Sabah) and Pa' Anton from Indonesia (Pontianak) who realised his full potential with Ah Lo as a skillful driver and in third are the Chang cousins - Ah Kuin and Ah Kiat from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. It's worthwhile mentioning fourth were Lau Kah Kung (Kuching) and Eddie Alvarado (Philippines).

The standing before the third and final day was that Jacko was in second but 2 DNFs due to serious mechanical failure saw him dropped off the rankings. Ah Shin rolled his car in SS12 and scored his first DNF but was so far ahead that he emerged champions. Credible mention also goes to Simon in his lightly modified Suzuki who finished about 6th. We do not have the official results but here are the pictures anyway.

 

Pa' Ah Gu

now represents Jarkarta, but originally from Saratok. Like a football palyer, he got 'transfered'.

Ah Chan

on SS5, he cleared it without any problems

Lau in the long swamp

this is a car breaker if the winch is not up to scratch. Here, Lau needed 2 winch pulls to get to the finish box.

Simon

does it the easy way without too much strain and because he recored only a few DNFs, he came up tops.

Ah Lo takes

the BJ40 on SS11 without any incidents.

Pa Ah Gu

does it well in SS11..

Event champs

Ah Shin and Ah Soong takes off in high speed in SS 2

You would have though that..

this would have ended Ah Chan (standing extreme right) run. He appeared on the next SS and ran it. He however broke his car a little later and withdrew from competition.

This is how to do it..

Ah Gu goes into the deep pond on the shallow side..

Ah Kuin enters

the pond on the deep side but still get in OK

Fastest in SS5

Lau shows it is done in SS5, clocking the fastest time..

Ah Shin rolls

in SS12 to record his first DNF for the competition

Robert Chien

representing Bintulu shows how to descend the tricky section in SS4

Horses

Kuin's 15 BT pulled a lot fo horsepower but still had to winch in deep mud

Ah Chan lost

his winch and had to DNF this stage and his car trouble began

Here AH Gu shows

the reving power of his 1J Supra engine. However, he lost time by falling a tree when winching

Anton was slow and steady

pulling the line to winch out of the muddy bog in the night SS9

Here's Simon again

and there's no stopping him

Bintulu boleh

and like the rest Robert needed to winch himself out of the bog despite his powerful 15BT engine

Steady Eddie and Lau

in the night SS

Ah Nee and Chicken Egg

are the 'heavy weights' of the event and competed the night SS
