…the motorsport community mourns

With the news of the tragic passing of Chris Piggott (the owner of Raleigh Raceway), our thoughts are with Helen (business partner of 26 years), The Piggott family, The Team at Raleigh international raceway, members of Raleigh Motorsports Association Inc and all of the car community affected by the passing.

I hope you can join the rest of the community on the various Facebook pages and share your memories and celebrate the joyful moments around Chris and his incredible achievements.

The Khanacross planned for this Sunday (1st March) is still going ahead.

I hope those of you who knew Chris would agree that respectfully continuing to run the event would be his most likely wish.

CHDSCC in the spotlight…

The Quality Accounting Coffs Coast Rally and the car club was well represented at the recent awards dinner for the Queensland State Rally Championships. Our very own Sam Hil accepting an award for the QACCR event team. A well deserved recognition for Sam, support team, supporting club members and sponsors. The venue, famous coffs forestry roads and night stages being particular popular amongst the competitors.

But that wasnt the only mention for those south of the border. See if you recognise some more local coffs rally celebs!

What an excellent way to kick off the year, especially 2026 being our 60th anniversary. Congratulations again to all the award winners and well done CHDSCC for bringing rallying back to Coffs.

..bring on 2026 (our 60th Year!)

What a year we have had!

Though 2025 had some challenges we still managed to stay financial, execute another Quality Accounting Coffs Coast Rally (even bigger and better than last year), introduce a new event, welcome some new members and hopefully entertain a few existing ones too!

Congratulations to all our award, trophy and plaque winners.

With lots of new projects on the horizon for 2026, the start may exhibit some wheel spin, but lets hope that this is our year to get some traction and drive forward.

The club really appreciates every person and business who contributed this year.

A massive thanks to all the competitors, volunteers and supporters who have gone before us and kept this club going into its 60th year for 2026! Lets do them justice and continue to build the club for the next generation.

Finally, I hope you all had a great Christmas and are with family or friends for this new year’s eve.

I hope you have a safe and pleasant evening.

See you in 2026.
