Last meeting for 2024 – Tonight!

Everyone is welcome tonight at 7:30pm in the “Back Room” of the Coffs Hotel for the final meeting of the year. We look forward to everyone’s input on the direction of the club and proposed events for 2025, which is likely to be the main discussion point. We have much and many to be thankful for so perhaps it will be part celebration as well. Thanking you all for your ongoing support throughout the year, and hope to see you there.

Just another reminder that the following meeting will be the AGM on the 19th February 2025.

General Meetings are now Wednesday’s

Don’t forget, as of our last meeting, General Monthly Meetings are to be held on the third Wednesday of the month to accommodate a more suitable room for us at the Coffs Hotel. This will be a permanent change.

Also, there will be no General Monthly meeting in January. Hopefully this should provide everyone with a break and ensure we all come back energised for the Annual General Meeting on 19th February (AGM 2024).

Over the Christmas period, please encourage friends and family to join and be apart of the Club. The more members, the more we can spread the load, play peoples strengths and really get things happening! See you on Wednesday evening. If not, have a safe and enjoyable holiday season, thanks for all your support and the club will look forward to welcoming you back next year.

Coffs Coast Super Sprint 2024 – Results

Thanks to all the competitors, supporters and contributors who made the day a success (that’s what we are calling it anyway). We hope it was a great opportunity to experience some varying track conditions and for those who wished, to compete with other vehicles on the track at the same time.

Everyone was very well behaved with no incidents and plenty of track time.

For those whom weren’t so keen to compete near another vehicle, we hope you found the flexible format to your liking and gave yourself some space to throw down a competitive time or two.

Please see below the results and links to the source. Many more thankyous at the bottom of the post!

Thanks to everyone who helped get this event off the ground. Without all the cooperation and assistance our car club is powerless. Its always amazing what a team of enthusiasts can achieve! Great work everyone involved. I don’t want to single anyone out but I think a few people deserve a mention. Lord help me if I forget someone!

Thanks to:

Chris & Helen for jumping in where needed and for ensuring the day kept running smoothly. Also a heap of work before the event!

John and Ian in the control tower, managing the timing, announcements, safety status lights and the general flow of cars.

Dan for standing by in the fire truck and for recovery throughout the day. Also, lets face it, entertainment whenever he is driving.

Felix for doing a stella job at managing the start line and keeping everyone informed of whats going on.

Terry who was our faithful first responder prepared all day. No offence but glad you had nothing to do!

Mick and Tony, for managing the grid, moving the caravan, helping with the scrutineering, managing the transponders….

Bob, our dedicated stewart who, like all our officials, gave up their valuable time to ensure we ran safely to the regs all day.

Scott for helping out with the scrutineering and also competing in the event.

Adz and Riana for jumping in and doing what needed doing without haven’t to be asked. Always getting footage and increasing exposure for any event.

Peter for helping with the other competitors, preparing the new club car and for supplying half the field!

The ladies at the HubCap cafe for providing fantastic food and some cold drinks on a very humid day.

To everyone who came and said “can I do anything”.

All the competitors from surrounding clubs.

Finally to all the competitors who invested their hard earned and took a chance on a new event and for some, a new venue. We appreciate your preparation and commitment. We really hope to see you all again at future events.

….Its a new car!

A huge Thank You to Coffs Auto Recyclers & 4WD for our new Club Car! And thanks to the people who made it happen (you know who you are).

Yes, you heard it folks, we now have a Club Car for use, with an Automatic Transmission.

The new Honda will make its debut at the Super Sprint on the weekend, I wonder who might be driving? We needed to make a good impression, so the word on the street is, we hired a professional. Mrs Stig perhaps??

But seriously I hope we can support Coffs Auto Recyclers & North Coast 4WD along with all the businesses and individuals in the community who have given so much to the club in time, equipment and energy over the years.

All set for a Super, Super-Sprint!

We are go for the Super Sprint on Sunday!
