SOME of Coffs Harbour’s best drivers have tested their racing skills at one of the North Coast’s best tracks.

It was a full-throttle day of racing at Raleigh Raceway, as the Coffs Harbour and District Sporting Car Club hosted its Coffs Print Lap Dash.

A total of six runs were completed, for the drivers each run included a warm up lap, a flying-timed lap, and a cool-down lap.

The fastest timed lap for each driver on the day was used to determine the final results.

The race for outright honours on the day was a closely-fought affair, with little more than a second separating first-to-third places.

A spokesperson for the Coffs Harbour and District Sporting Car Club said for most competitors the day was about having fun, improving their driving skills, and seeing if they could improve their own times over the course of the day.

“Outright winner was Leigh Morley driving an immaculate Datsun 260Z, closely followed by Lee Faulkner in his first run in the Toyota 86 he has recently built.

“Third was Jonathon Gray in a Renault Megane.

“Four Ladies entered the event, with Elizabeth Gledhill driving a Hyundai i30N first and also the winner of her class,” the spokesperson said.

“The track has had surface improvements in recent times and was in good condition for the event.”

Coffs Harbour and District Sporting Car Club’s next event is a Khanacross on Sunday, 13 August, details are available on coffscarclub.com.au and the Facebook page.
