July 2014

On 6th July the club saw the introduction of a new autocross venue at Hawea in an open flat gravel pit (thanks to those who sorted out this venue), it was a great to learn to control the cars in the long slide round the corners, everyone had a great deal of fun (see gallery).

On 26th July COMC had a big day with racing at Track C at Highlands, we saw some amazing new cars not seen at previous events (Radical SR3 and Lotus 7). Another popular event run by the club saw a big turn out of 45 drivers for this event (some entrants travelling from Oz, just for the event). Thanks to Dave and Co for a very well run event, we were able to get 5 runs in for the day.

Later that night we held our annual prize giving at the Nose Restaurant, after a wonderful Meal and drinks the following awards were giving (along with other prizes; See Gallery):

June 2014

COMC has hasn’t slowed down over the winter months, we started the new race calendar off with a Autocross at Springvale on 7th June (see gallery), it was a good start to the new season, for some 🙂

On 10th June we held our 3rd Annual General Meeting. For a relatively new club we have packed in a lot of successful motorsport events in last couple of years. Well done to all of those involved in running these events and we all look forward to the clubs future in Central Otago.
