Rhino Charge entrants to this weekend’s
Rob’s Magic Quattro Charge took the top
six positions in the expert section.
Ten of the thirty entrants in the expert section
were Rhino Charge cars. Winner Rommy Bamrah of
Car 40 Rhino Charge received a winning bonus of
Ksh 160,000 towards his Rhino Charge 2008 pledge.
The
remaining nine received cheques of Ksh 130,000.
The event raised a record total of Ksh 1,783,500.
The prize money as promised by organiser and ex-Rhino
Charge veteran winner Rob Collinge, who retired
from Rhino Charge last year, was distributed to
the ten 2008 Rhino Charge entries who participated.
Smaller cash prizes were given to “budding
Rhino Chargers” in the Intermediate, Junior
and Quad sections.
A total of 40 vehicles participated before a
crowd of 1,500.
Jatinder Mehta, father of teenager Gurmeet Mehta
who performed as the best non-Rhino Charge entrant
announced that he would give a further Kshs 216,500
to top up the Quattro Charge total fundraise to
Rhino Ark to Ksh 2million.
In previous years, Quattro Charge has raised
money for organiser, Rob Collinge’s car.
Rob promised that future Quattro Charges would
raise funds for Rhino Charge cars which enter
the event.
