When the going gets tough, the tough get a 4WD. Nothing stood in the way of KAR 13 and it's crew as they negotiated the Victorian countryside in the 2009 Kidney Kar Rally.

KAR 808
KAR 808 seems to rise above most when it comes the 2009 Kidney Kar Rally. Piloted by the duo of Roxanne Cross and Melinda Garland, the pair found the early stages of Wednesday easy going.

KAR 500

Kar 500, driven by Brian Wallace and John Druce, didn't have any time to stop and admire the fantastic views, late on day 5 of the 2009 Kidney Kar Rally.

KAR 89

The Evo III of 'HR Puff n Stuff' found the loose surfaces between Temora and Gilgandra easy going on the second last day of the 2009 Kidney Kar Rally.

KAR RD
Even road directors sometimes find themselves being part of the flock at times, as Arthur and Kim Davis found out during the 2009 Kidney Kar Rally.

Spitfire
The Temora Air Museum was only too willing to help when approached by the Kidney Kar Rally team for a chance to get some images with one of only 2 flying Spitfires in Australia. A large thanks go out to the Krews for posing, and the Museum for entrusting the Kidney Kar Rally with a $4,000,000 aircraft!

KKR Virgins:
Many of the first time krews were present for a photo of the 'KKR Virgins' at the Temora Memorial Club. First time 'krews'are presented with a 1 year badge, hopefully the first of many. This year saw some 51 first time entrants.
