Club Day at Kellevie Sunday 20th July
10 July 2008
SORRA are holding a Club Day at the Kellevie track on Sunday 20th July. Any one welcome.A good opportunity to test your vehicle before the Peron Dunes Sprint at St Helens on 26th July.
SORRA are pleased to advise they have recently made some improvements at the track, with more in the pipeline.
They have cemented in front of the fire place area at the kiosk and next on the list is making the pits bigger; repairing the fence around it and then installing a gate to keep the pits secure from foot traffic during the event.
SORRA also purchased a freight container this year to store all club gear in. This has proved most successful and practical, as the gear was previously stored in the kiosk and had to be moved out and back in again when the kiosk was in use.

Santa pays SORRA a special visit
31 Dec 2007
SORRA members were treated to a visit from a special dude in a red suit a few weeks ago when they held the Kids Xmas BBQ at the Kellevie track.
Santa took time out of his hectic schedule to call upon the Merry BBQ'ers and even had to ditch his sleigh in favour of a 4wd utility to make his way across the track. Click here for all the photos.
TORCC get into the Festive Season!
20th Dec 2007
Its that time of year again and the TORCC have been kicking up their heels. A group of 25 enjoyed a night out at Francos Italian Restuarant in Launceston on the 1st December. Good food, lots of drinkies and even some funny awards were on the agenda for this gathering that was enjoyed by all.Click here to view the photos.
The following weekend the kids xmas BBQ was held at Peter Hays place. Most attendees (young & old) took their motorbikes along for a squirt in Pete's paddock. All this riding built up some hearty appetites and a BBQ smorgasboard was enjoyed by all.Thanks to Mauryeen and Pete for their hospitality and for allowing us to raise some serious dust !

Tatnell Brothers win Tas Sand Enduro 2007
7 Nov , 2007
Hayden & Justin Tatnell of Launceston have won the 35th Tas Sand Enduro, held at Peron Dunes, St Helens on 3&4 November. Hayden has won the 500 km event 7 times now, although the last time he won it was back in 1999, so the victory was certainly welcomed by the HTM Team.
Younger brother Justin co-drove the single seat Jimco over the 2 day race and proved he was more than worthy to take the wheel of this well prepared Pro Buggy powered by a Mazda 1600 cc Turbo. See Media 2007 page for full story.
