FUN DAY OUT ON THE COAST The Central Coast Car Club has held a successful Come and Try day during February with more than 18 juniors and women part of the motorkhana. Taking place in Gladstone, the participants got to put their skills to the test as they drove their road cars around a variety of different layouts under the guidance of club members. For the juniors, it was a matter of getting a taste of what it’s like behind the wheel, whereas for the women, it was an opportunity to build confidence in the car with the potential chance to progress into motorsport. One of the female participants in Annie, who along with her two teenage children, took part in her first ever motorsport event after a friend had recommended it as a way to teach car control to her and her kids. Another notable participant was Ricciardo’s Racers graduate Stevie, who entered the event after enjoying herself at Ricciardo's Racers last year. The participants were also treated to a special showing from the club’s 2019 dirt and bitumen khanacross series winner Kobi Martin. Martin, who also picked up a runners-up in the club's motorkhana series last year, showed the participants how the grassroots discipline was meant to be done.
