Rockynats is done and dusted again for 2026, and what an amazing event it was!
Great people, exquisite cars, bikes and trucks and the best part for me was my amazing crew i got to work with over the 6 days of the best car festival.

I didn't get pics of them all but they all did an awesome job.

BARCY REVFEST – WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU NOW

Barcy RevFest is only days away, and right now we need racers, entrants and supporters to let us know if you’re coming.

At this stage, nominations are still down and the committee needs to make a call this weekend on whether the event can go ahead.

So if you’ve been thinking about entering, making the trip, bringing your mates or coming along for the day — now is the time to speak up.

This event has always been about more than the racing. It’s about a great outback weekend, catching up with mates, family fun and being part of the Tree of Knowledge Festival weekend in Barcaldine. But for it to happen, we need to know who’s in.

If you are planning to:
🔥 Race
🔥 Enter
🔥 Watch
🔥 Road trip to Barcy
please comment below, send us a message, or head to our page and let us know TODAY.

We need to make a decision this weekend — so this is the call: if you want RevFest to happen, nominate now and make some noise.

It's that time of year again!

It's RockyNats Fire crew training time. The first of 2 consecutive Saturdays training the crews who will be providing Fire protection for the car festival to be held in Rockhampton from the 17th to the 19th of April.

Crews covered extinguisher types and which fires to use them on, underbody fires, flash points and auto ignition temps of various fuels and the effect of the different exhausts to their health, plus a multitude of other subjects.

Here is a short video of them during their practical Fire extinguisher training.

A massive thank you to Michael, Leesa, Trudie and Aaron from Buddys Fire for the use of their facilities and extinguishers.
Very much appreciated guys.
🙏

Not Motorsport related, but still relevant.
NEVER put water on an oil fire!
You need to smother the fire with a fire blanket or even the lid of the pot.
If you're going to use the lid, cover your hand with a damp tea towel, pick up the lid and place it on the top of the open container.
Leave it in place and call 000 to get the fire service there to check it out.

CQMFR had a great day at CQDRA - Benaraby Dragway yesterday. Some close racing and a bit of action late in the night made for a very interesting day.
Great job by the many volunteers who give up their time to run such a great event.
We hope to be back next season!

CQMFR will be keeping everyone safe tomorrow for CQDRA. Looking forward to our first event for these guys.
