24.01.2022 What a great weekend racing in Herberton at the Interclub Challenge. Thanks to the FNQ Motor Sport Club for the weekend, it was good to be back up there again. Our club performed well and currently leads the Challenge 13 points to 7 with one round to go. The result could have been even better if mechanical issues on the second last run didn't drop Northy out of the top five. We are now on track to retain the trophy for the third year in a row when the final round is held in M...ossman in early October. Club meeting this Wednesday night at the Mossman Bowls Club at 7 pm. All welcome to attend. Our next event is on 13th September. Entries are on line via the MA website and are now open.

22.01.2022 Regrettably we have been forced to cancel this Sunday's khanacross and junior Motorkhana. The track is a quagmire and with more rain forecast over the next couple of days there is no way of running the event. Our next round is scheduled for March 21st.

20.01.2022 The results are in and the points have been tallied (thanks Kara). Who is going to be crowned the 2020 Club Champion? We will find out on Sunday.

Thanks to all the people who have offered to bring a salad/desert... It is going to be hot so bring bathers if you want to go down to the river for a swim. We will also have a sprinkler set up for people to cool down under. Also if you can bring along your shade tents as well. See you Sunday

19.01.2022 Haha- who has been there??

19.01.2022 As is usual at this time of the year we are watching to see what the weather does over the next couple of days in regards to this Sundays event.We will do a track inspection on Friday arvo and make a call then.

19.01.2022 With covid restrictions starting to ease we are looking to get back to racing as soon as possible. At this stage there is a limit on group gatherings to 20 people, so it is not possible to run an event at this stage. However that is due to change on 10th July when stage 3 restrictions come in to effect. We can then have gatherings (still with social distancing) of 100 people. Our next event is scheduled for 12 July so the committee will be working towards making that happen. We are having a committee meeting this Monday night to start the planning process and to tweek a few dates in the calendar. If there are any issues that you wish the committee to address on Monday please contact me or any of the other committee members. Stay tuned for further updates.

19.01.2022 Break out the bubbly because we’re coming back to Cairns for another 3 years!

15.01.2022 I checked out the track yesterday, (Tuesday) and it is pretty wet and over grown.The committee will do another inspection tomorrow arvo and make a final decision on this Sundays event. A reminder that memberships are now due. With increased affiliation and permit fees the club has been forced to raise membership fees. Single is now $40 and family $80. Membership forms are available from the website. Also the club has a new member with Richard and Angie Howard welcoming a baby girl, Sophia. Congrats guys.

15.01.2022 At a Special General Meeting of the DSMSA Committee convened late last night it was unanimously decidedthat due to the Corona Virus, this years Interclub Challenge between our club and the FNQ Motor Sports Club will be cancelled. Therefor in accordance with championship rules, as the defending champion club and current trophy holders we will retain the trophy and be awarded this years championship.

15.01.2022 Well no prizes for guessing that we will not be racing next Sunday, which is a shame because the weather forecast is looking good. This might have been the first year that we got twelve events in for the year if it hadn't been for rona. All general meetings are cancelled until further notice as well. If there is any important issues that you wish to discuss please feel free to contact any of the committee members. Please stay safe and healthy. Bob

10.01.2022 With COVID19 restrictions starting to ease hopefully we can get back racing soon. Our next event is scheduled for 17th May. Weather it goes ahead depends on what restrictions, if any change in the next week or so. We will keep you up to date on any developments. In the mean time several members have been doing work out at the track. Northy and Kara have been mowing, slashing and spraying and have kept the grounds maintained to their usual high standard. Carl and Richard "volu...nteered" (thanks Melanie) to finish off erecting the carport/shade structure which we started back in March. Thanks to their efforts it is nearly completed. Also Trevor White, owner/operator of T & C Grader Hire has spent all morning grading the track ready for a resumption of racing. Trevor donates his time every year to grade the track following the wet season and I can not thank him enough for his support of the club over the years. So the track is ready, we are ready, just waiting for the word. If there is anyone not working and who would like to help out at the track let me or Northy know. From mowing, slashing or spraying, to maintenance on the club cars and machinery there is always something that needs to be done. See more

07.01.2022 We are watching and waiting to see what the weather does in the next couple of days before making a decision on this Sunday's event. We hope to make a final decision by Friday night.

07.01.2022 This Sundays event has been called off. There was 130 mm of rain in Mossman yesterday and last night and it has rained again this afternoon and there are more showers forecast for the weekend. Even if it stopped raining now, there is no way the track would be dry enough to do the necessary work to get it ready to race on. As per club rules, the event will be postponed until next Sunday and if it is too wet then it will be cancelled. On a side note, the first club meeting is on this coming Wednesday night at the Mossman Bowls Club at 7 PM. All welcome.

07.01.2022 Results from Sunday have been emailed out. Full results and photos will be up on the website in coming days. The first round of the 2020 inter club challenge against the FNQ Motor Sport Club is on 22nd and 23rd August at Herberton Speedway. As the defending champions we will be looking to hammer the Cairns Club again this year. It is a good weekend away and a chance to race on a different track so I encourage all members who are able to attend to do so. Nominations are online and all the details are on the FNQ Motorsports facebook page. Also Targa Great Barrier Reef is on 4-6 September. They are looking for people to help run some of the stages. If you would like to volunteer ring Susie on 0418 873 744.

06.01.2022 This Sundays khanacross and junior motorkhana is all go, weather permitting.Showers are forecast for Friday and Saturday so we will keep an eye on that and see what happens.Nominations are via the Motorsport Australia website and close on Saturday. If you are having dramas doing this then we will allow paper nominations on Sunday morning.Self scrutiny forms must also be filled in and emailed back to the club or deposited in the box at the track on Sunday morning.We have decided to cater for lunch this event and there will be drinks available as well.If its not too wet we will be doing a track set up from 12 on Saturday. Anyone help would be appreciated. I have emailed out the drivers briefing. If you are competing please sign it and return it.

06.01.2022 Despite the odd shower forecast, this Sunday's Khanacross and Junior Motorkhana is all go at this stage. Where possible nominations are via the member portal on the Motorsport Australia website. Attached is the drivers briefing document which must be signed and returned as well. There will be a working bee at the track from 12 on Saturday. Jobs that need doing include mow the pit area, set up the track, and prep the club cars. All assistance would be appreciated.

06.01.2022 Thanks to all the members who help out on Saturday morning. The posts for the carport/shade structure are now securely concerted into the ground. The plan is to finish erecting it next Sunday morning weather and coronaviras permitting. Stay tuned for more info later in the week. Speaking of coronaviras this months club meeting,scheduled for tomorrow night at the Mossman Bowls Club has been cancelled as the Bowls Club is now closed.

05.01.2022 We have revised the start time for next weekends interclub challenge. It will now start at 11 am on Saturday 3rd.

05.01.2022 Northy, Greg and I inspected the track this arvo. There has been over 60 mm of rain since Wednesday and more than 130 since the weekend and parts of the track are impassable. (Northy's cruiser struggled in places) The parts that are half dry are rutted out so based on this we have reluctantly cancelled this Sunday's event. Round two of the Championship is scheduled for 21st Feb weather permitting.

05.01.2022 Following discussions with committee members tonight (sorry Sonia I tried ringing) we have decided to call off tomorrows working bee at the track due to the on going coronaviras situation. Both Northy and myself are keen as mustard to get this carport up but peoples health and safety are more important. There will be a time when we will be able to finish it but tomorrow is not it. It is also highly unlikely that our April and May events will proceed as planed.

04.01.2022 There has been a slight change to the planned construction of the carport/ shade structure at the track. It will now be on Saturday morning (28th March.)The whole thing is basically tech screwed together so for anyone attending, if you are able to bring a battery impact driver and bits we should be able to have it up in a couple of hours. Start time is 8.30.

03.01.2022 The clubs AGM is on tonight at the Mossman Bowls Club at 7 pm. All welcome.

01.01.2022 Results and photos from our last event are now up on the website.
