October General Meeting – Wednesday 15th


Yeah the Locals….

Well done to all the organisers and supporters of the Quality Accounting Coffs Coast Rally for 2025. The event is proving to be increasingly popular and this years included night stages, really had teams on their toes. The spectator points were packed and even the night spectator point seemed to overflow with diehard rally fans! Coffs really is the home of rallying it seems.

Despite some tough challenges the event ran like clockwork, a credit to Sam Hill and his team of volunteers (over 200 in all!)

In a time when political pressure seems to be against many events, it appears the public couldn’t get enough, with endless enquiries on Social Media about “Where can I watch the rally”.

The new home of Woolgoolga was an absolute hit, with local businesses enjoying the influx of competitors, their friends, families and teams (even if many were from Queensland 🙂 Woopi diggers was a great upgrade for Rally HQ and hosting the awards breakfast on Sunday was a stroke of genius by the organisers.

The media day on the Friday provided a chance to show the major sponsors what we are all about. I think you will agree there wasn’t a frown to be seen! Even if some of the passenger were a little nervous.

Congratulations to all our Coffs Car Club teams in the rally with some fantastic results. A special mention for Tony Lynch who after many years of running ARC stages and contributing to numerous events, competed in his first rally and took home a trophy! Its becoming a thing (see Brad Hardakers back story LOL).
