Off-roader Justinus set for U.S. event

JAKARTA: Jakarta's Justinus Sjahlim has been named to
represent Indonesia in the 39th Jeep Off-road Safari in Moab,
Utah, from March 21-27.

"It isn't a competitive event among the participants but a
field where each of the participants is challenged to show their
skills in overcoming the obstacles," Justinus, 54, said during a
press conference here on Monday.

The event is expected to draw 5,000 off-roaders, he added,
including seven California-based Indonesians.

The president of the Indonesia Off-road Federation, Djoko
Pramono, hoped that participating Indonesian drivers would be
able to transfer knowledge gained from the experience to develop
the sport at home. --JP
