Our hearts are broken with the news of the passing of Dan Low.

Dan raced Ministocks some years ago but most recently he has been back as part of the club helping his nephew Noah in his own Ministock.

On behalf of the club, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Dan’s family and friends.

Family have set up a Givealittle page to support Mon as she navigates her life without Dan.

The most precious man, taken far too soon.

We are incredibly excited to announce that we are getting behind the Cancer Society Gisborne East Coast Relay for Life for 2027.

This is a cause that is close to many of our hearts so it was only right that we open our gates up for them to host this event 💛

Did you catch the news?! Our organisers committee are absolutely buzzing to share that we have secured a new venue for our Relay For Life 2027 and it will be held at the Awapuni Speedway in 'The Pits'!!!
While we have absolutely LOVED our time at the showgrounds, moving venue does allow us to reduce some of our event expenses- meaning we can keep your team registration fee at $150 per team of ten AND that we can ensure that every dollar of your fundraising money goes directly to the very cause we are here supporting - those with cancer, our community education programmes and further cancer research.
Registrations are now open- go to https://gisborne.relayforlife.org.nz/ and get your team in now.
