Just a friendly reminder that we haven’t conducted noise testing at our events for a while and……

……Noise is always a consideration at any Motorsport Venue and becoming more and more of a volatile topic.

Noise testing is very likely at the Coffs Coast Tarmac Autocross 2025 event HINT! HINT!

If your over the limit, sadly, you won’t be allowed to compete until its rectified. That includes pops, bangs, squeals and/or rattles!

If your not sure, there are some phone apps which will give you a rough idea (like Decibel X, Android & iOS)

The Coffs Sporting Car Club and Raleigh international raceway have sound meters and are happy to test your vehicle for you before the event.

Static: Test at 45 deg 500mm away from tip at 3500rpm (guide only)

Regulations: 30m from track edge must not exceed 95db.

…Don’t shoot the messenger 🙂

…its been a bit of an uphill battle to get this event underway. I would ask you to spare a thought for those who Raleigh Raceway is their livelihood.

Lets hope we can roll with the punches and keep enjoying the privilege of motorsport for a long time to come. If anyone has any doubts or concerns please contact me. Otherwise, I hope all of you that have been awaiting your chance at the bitumen will take it!

A new event is coming…

Next month, a new event is planned for 14th December. It will be an Autocross on bitumen very similar to the Super Sprint we held last year around the same time, however with some changes:

Different to last years Sprint:

• Car will leave the start line one at a time.
• There may be the addition of some obstacles on the track to change the line
• Entries will be by email invitation

Favourties from last years event:

• Practice and qualifying
• 4 laps each heat
• At least 5 heats
• Trophies

There should be plenty of track time!

Link to Petition – Save Raleigh Raceway

Raleigh Raceway is more then just a race track. It’s a home, a community; a safe place that heals, unites and inspires.

For decades Raleigh Raceway, a small family owned business, has provided a safe space for thousands motorsport enthusiasts from all over Australia to share their love and passion for the sport.

But now it hangs in the balance and we need your help. Licensing issues have put our beloved racetrack at risk of either postponing or cancelling all events in the foreseeable future.

This track isn’t backed by big cooperations or sponsors. It’s owned and run by a hardworking local family who have been on the property for over 127 years and poured their heart, soul and every spare dollar to keep the track open, not for profit, but for the community, the people.

Raleigh raceway fuels the local economy, brings new and old customers to local hotels/caravan parks, cafes, pubs, service stations, mechanics and countless other family run establishments.

Help us help you. Save Raleigh Raceway, keep the dream and the community alive!

Speak Up – Share your story of how motorsport or this track has changed your life and what it means to you. Add it in the comments of the facebook page or better yet contact your local member!

Apologies to everyone for any inconvenience however due to challenges faced by Raleigh Motorsport Complex (which was out of their control) we are unable to run the final round of the series. Lets hope we can rectify the situation for next year. Please show your support for Raleigh Raceway and assist if you are able.
