Motorsport Club

1. HCMC Motorsport Club

   The Hibiscus Coast Motorsport Club was originally founded in the 1960's as a club catering for car enthusiasts on Auckland’s Hibiscus Coast. The local constable was instrumental in setting up the club, and the first members were upright citizens who were willing to stop and help anyone stranded on the side of the road with car problems. Not your typical young hoons. Today, HCMC is still a club for car enthusiasts, but unlike many car clubs in NZ they cater for the whole family, actively encouraging the female contingent and younger members to compete as well as the traditional males (in fact, one of their most successful club members one year was both female and under 15 years old!)

   Being family oriented HCMC generally holds informal grass-root type events such as Trials, Motorkhanas, Autocrosses, Hillclimbs and Rallysprints which the whole family can get involved in. - http://www.hcmc.org.nz/
