THE sixth round of the 2013 Bank Windhoek Namibian National Enduro Series will take place at Albrechtshöhe this Saturday, 10 August 2013. The event will run on both the Albrechtshöhe and Kaliombo farms near Karibib, which will again test the riders in the rocky landscape.
A few changes have been made to the track, nicknamed the Rocky Horror Race, but the regulars, like the rock face for the brave, will again be featured, including an optional route, called the chicken run, for the not-so-brave riders. A good mix of twisty sand sections and a few river beds will provide a great challenge.
With the season over the halfway mark, this event could prove crucial in determining series podium places. Riders need to stay consistent as seven of the eight race series count towards the championship. The worst result will be the thrown away, but the risk of a DNF (Did Not Finish) is always there as the series and terrain take their toll on riders and machines.
With ten classes set to run during this event, and the location halfway to the coast, entries look set to again show the growth of the sport with riders from the coastal area joining the fun.
Saturday’s racing will start at 07:00 with Documentation and Scruteneering for non-Windhoek riders. Windhoek riders can do the Documentation on Thursday, 8 August, in the afternoon, from 17:30 at KTM. KTM is located on Andimba Toivo Ya Toivo Street in Suiderhof.
Riders will battle it out on a rocky track in Round Six of the Bank Windhoek Namibia National Enduro Series at Albrechtshohe farm near Karibib this weekend.
