CRAKK 2025

CRAKK 2025 Wrap Up

Well what a 'CRAKKER' of a weekend! By all accounts CRAKK 2025, our 35th CRAKK run was a great success, with lots of very positive feedback!

We again reached a record number of entries, vehicles and people, with lots of first-time entrants and new cars. The CHRA is proud of the reputation of this event and that it continues to evolve, with all the old favourites and new activities each year, an event for the Entrants! This year saw the technical side of things with displays from Lucky's Speed Shop, of the last two year's chops and updates, Signature Wrapz showed us what they have to offer in transforming the look of your car, Les Rhyne was out there demonstrating some welding techniques and Pro Audio showed us what can be done with hydraulics. There were lots of activities for young and old, including the CRAKK Inaugural Rocker Cover Racing challenge and Choose a A Krooze. This year took CRAKK entrants out and about on an Observation run, and fine display at Australia's National Museum. The Super Heroes/Heroes theme was hotly contested, as was the Best Pinnie title at the Ladies Paint'n'Sip

Again we had over 200 vehicles squeezed into Queanbeyan Park for the show'n'shine on a perfect Australia Day, catered for by the Volunteers from Veteran Support Centre at Page, ACT. All in all, a huge weekend with entrants that travelled from QLD, NSW, ACT and VIC, so we hope you all had a great time.

Fund Raising

In 2025, we again raised money for the Veteran's Support Centre in Page, ACT.

Results will be out soon!
