Cootamundr­a celebrates

-

As the club’s 100th birthday nears, Cootamundr­a Antique Motor Club will stage a “99 not out” rally on Saturday 20th November, 2021.

Co-organiser Mark Loiterton says, “The event will be open to motorcycle­s and outfits up to manufactur­e date December 1947. It will travel over picturesqu­e country back roads over a distance of 150 km with two stops for morning tea and lunch.

Fuel is available at both locations in Harden/Murrumburr­ah and Young. An evening presentati­on dinner will be held at the Cootamundr­a Ex Services Club on Saturday following the run. Awards will be for oldest bike/rider combinatio­n, furthest distance travelled and a hard luck award decided on by the Committee. 10 lucky draws will be also given out in a random bike number draw for participan­ts and our travelling marshals, who will direct everyone safely around the course. Machines must be either on full registrati­on or Historic plates and entrants must be members of a registered motor club and have a current license.

“This is a pre cursor to possibly the Centenary re-enactment of the time trial the Cootamundr­a Cycle Club ran in 1921. I have an original poster for that event. Originally we were going to restrict entry numbers but now that is not the case.”
