A Burringbar duo are heading to the outback to raise money for cancer research on behalf of the Cancer Council of NSW.
Taking their 32 year old ‘eclectic’ car to the extreme, they have formed the Pocket Rocket Team and are raising money as part of the Mystery Box Rally 2017 that begins and ends in Dubbo.
They will be travelling thousands of miles across the outback and camping by their car at night as they follow a route only known to the organisers.
Leaving on November 25 and returning on November 29, all cars participating must be 25 years old or older and sourced by the racing team themselves.
The two team members Ian Collier and Ian Reynolds have entered on behalf of Burringbar’s Pocket Herbs and Produce.
‘Both Ian Collier and myself are excited and a little worried about the thousands of kilometres we have to drive on dirt roads in our 32 years old car!’ commented Iain Reynolds.
‘But as long as we raise the money for the Cancer Council of NSW we will be very happy.’
