On Sunday the 16th of August, the Light Car Club of Canberra will host the 2009 LCCC Treasure Hunt. The hunt is designed for the whole family no matter what age, to be able to have some fun and help us raise money for Teamlife, Transplant Australia. All proceeds will be donated to the charity.
Transplant Australia exists to enrich and celebrate life. Their vision is for Australia to lead the world in organ and tissue donation and transplantation - saving lives, improving quality of life and providing much needed care and support.
Their members share a special bond, having all been touched in some way by transplantation. They include those awaiting transplantation, donor families, living donors, transplant recipients, and the doctors, nurses and co-ordinators working in the organ and tissue donation and transplantation sector.
The Light Car Club of Canberra is proud to be associated with this worthy cause and hope you the members, along with friends, family and anyone basically, can help us raise some well needed funds for Transplant Australia.
The entry form for the event is now available, please fill it out and bring it to an LCCC club meeting or contact Aaron thru the webmaster email: lightcar@lightcarclub.org or PM him.

| Barrett/Batten Win Two In A Row |

On Saturday the Light Car Club of Canberra Safari Rally was contested in the forest surrounding Canberra. The Safari Rally is traditionally a popular event with ACT and NSW competitors, with this event contributing to both the PCD Engineering ACT Regional Rally Series and the CAMS NSW Clubman Series.

After winning the last round in Canberra, Michael Barrett and Tim Batten lead the field into the forest as car one however, it was NSW competitors, Jon Parker and Jamie Neale in an Evo who drove a solid opening two stages to secure an early 20sec lead in the outright standings. Now Barrett and Batten, along with fellow Canberrans Peter Taylor and Kim Martin in their Corolla, set out to chase down the NSW pair. By half way through the event, Barrett/Batten had claimed back only six seconds. Over the following stages Barrett/Batten drew even and took back the lead of the event. As night set in the rain started to fall and the final stage become extremely slippery. A gruelling 32kms stood between the crews and victory with only ninety seconds separating the top teams. Barrett and Batten drove through to victory, winning by a commanding 110 seconds, Taylor/Martin 2nd and Parker/Neale 3rd.
The competition for the Better Bathrooms ACT Clubman Series saw David Boyd and Julie Boorman drive a Datsun Stanza to an outright seventh place whilst winning maximum points for the Clubman Series ahead of a fast finishing Mike Behnke/Brett Southwell in a Honda Civic and the father/son combination of Kagan and Phil Skipper in Charade. Behnke’s determination was obvious to spectators at the Mineshaft as he landed sideways after jumping over the infamous drop.
Novice competitors showed some impressive speed with Stephen Duthie and Damien Hanns in a Datsun 180B finishing 11th outright leaving some clubman drivers scratching their heads as to what is takes to beat him.
Spectators were treated to a day of excitement, Dennis Stanford and Andrew Kohler turned hard into a left hand corner and the car ended up on its roof, to the cheer of the spectators. Both men were unharmed during the event but unfortunately the damage to the car meant they could not continue.
Of the all female crews, ACT Series sponsor Cathy Donohue and co-driver Renee Jeffrey, started strong but suffered some issues mid event and unfortunately fell down the leader board. Kelly Caruna and Mel McMinn in a Holden Commodore had their gearbox break early in the event. Donna Moran and Charlotte Hodgkin, gained confidence throughout the event in the Mazda 323 and finished their first event together.
The teams now have a large break until the next event in Canberra on the 26th September.
