The Challenge was a talent search program aimed at pitting the best young drivers from each state against one another, and over almost a decade, unearthed many top-notch drivers.
Cody Crocker and Greg Foletta won that inaugural year, but how did the program start and who were some of the other big name competitors?
We ask Peter Whitten about the program and also discuss what was planned for the ill-fated Pedders Super Challenge in 2002.
Across almost 50 minutes, this episode covers many stories of the time.
We also ask – would the ARN Junior Challenge work today?
