Big finish to Blue September
Blue September ambassadors have produced a strong finish to round out the 2025 campaign in style.
Down south Nathan Williamson added four more wins to the cause at Gore yesterday while Jonny Cox (with two wins), Blair Orange and John Dunn all added to the tally in Timaru.
Their success followed five wins at Addington on Friday night, thanks to Dunn (2), Orange, Williamson and Robbie Close.
In total during the month the 11 ambassadors won 53 races, with Dunn leading the way with 12, one ahead of Orange.
The provisional total for Blue September is $36,175 though donations are still being accepted and the campaign doesn't officially end until tomorrow.

This is the fifth year of HRNZ's involvement in Blue September, the annual New Zealand Prostate Cancer Foundation campaign to raise awareness of the disease and funds for research.
Money is raised every time an ambassador wins a race, thanks to individual sponsorships and money donated from clubs and HRNZ ($100 per win).
HRNZ would like to thank all the drivers, the sponsors and the many people who have donated to the cause during September. Your time and generosity is very much appreciated.
