Welcome

Welcome to the 2020 Horizon Apartments Narooma Forest Rally. The rally is a compact event being a round

of the Techworkz Automotive NSW Clubman Rally Series; the Premier Panel Beating NSW Hyundai Rally

Series and the Techworkz Automotive ACT Regional Rally Series.

This year, the event includes an introductory rally – to be called the Damesa Industries Stages. The Damesa

Industries Stages is designed for Novice crews or those not regularly competing but who would like to have

fun without chasing sheep stations.

The event also includes a Pacenote event – to be called the Eurobodalla Stages. Competitors in the

Eurobodalla Stages will be ineligible for NSW or ACT Series Points. Event awards will be presented.

Events of this magnitude cannot happen without the tireless work and assistance of key stakeholders and I

would personally like to thank all officials for their efforts in the lead up and during the event. A special

mention must go to the team at the Brindabella Motor Sport Club for their incredible support for this event.

We would like to acknowledge the ongoing support of the Horizon Apartments Narooma and the

Eurobodalla Shire Council. The Horizon Apartments Narooma Forest Rally has been designed with the

competitor in mind utilising some of the best roads the South Coast has to offer. The event has been set to

be as compact as possible for the benefits of both crews, teams, media and other stakeholders.

We look forward to receiving your entry for one of the most exciting and dynamic events of the year.

The Eurobodalla Shire awaits you.

Yours sincerely

Michael Wallace

Clerk of Course
