Welcome to Counties Manukau Offroad Racing Club

In Memory of Louise Houghton

Counties Manukau Offroad Racing Club extends our deepest sympathy to Glen and the Houghton family following the passing of Louise Houghton.
Louise was a much-treasured member of our club and a dedicated supporter of offroad racing in New Zealand. For many years, she faithfully took on the important role of lap scorer and points coordinator, not only for Counties Manukau Offroad Racing Club, but also supporting the Offroad Racing Association of New Zealand.
Behind the scenes, Louise played an important part in making our race meetings run smoothly. Her commitment, reliability and willingness to step up and help were greatly appreciated by competitors, officials and fellow club members alike.
Louise was more than just a valued volunteer — she was part of the offroad racing family. Her contribution to our sport over many years leaves a lasting legacy, and her absence will be deeply felt around the racetrack and within our club.
We are all going to miss you, Louise.
Our thoughts are with Glen, her family and all those who had the privilege of knowing her at this very sad time.
Rest peacefully, Louise. You will always be remembered as part of our offroad racing family.

In Memory of Gary “Gazza” Pryor

The Counties Manukau Offroad Racing Club extends its deepest sympathy and condolences to the family and loved ones of Gary “Gazza” Pryor.

Gary was a staunch and much-loved supporter of our club for many years. As a valued member of Tony McCall’s pit crew, Gary attended our National Championship events, standing alongside Tony through the highs and lows of competition. He was also a dedicated volunteer, regularly running the club’s sausage sizzle on Race Days. His contribution was always appreciated, and his support was something our club could rely on.

Gary’s friendship with Tony McCall stretched back decades. He supported Tony through his early years of offroad racing in the 1980s and continued alongside him during his Sprint Car years. Through every season, every race, every trophy and every championship, Gary was there — a true friend and loyal comrade.

Even as Gary’s health declined over recent years, his dedication to the sport and his friends never wavered. He never missed a race at Colin Dale Park, continuing to show the same passion and commitment that had defined his involvement with offroad racing for so long.

Gary, thank you for your friendship, your loyalty, your hard work and your unwavering support. You were a valued part of our racing family, and your absence will be deeply felt.

Rest in peace, Gazza. You will be sadly missed, but never forgotten.

The Counties Manukau Offroad Racing Club (CMORC) brings the sport of offroad racing into the heart of Auckland.

The Club is run by members on a voluntary basis. However, we run this to a professional standard. We are based at the Manukau International Offroad Stadium, which is part of the Auckland Council’s Colin Dale Park on Prices Road in Manukau.

Our goal is to foster the promotion and growth of our sport. We welcome newcomers and will answer any query you have on offroading racing in NZ.
