Car enthusiasts have been showered with prizes as the region's top drivers were honoured at the Northland Car Club's annual prizegiving.

However, the season isn't over yet, as drivers hit Glenbervie this weekend.

Winners were self-selected throughout the season as club members competed for points across a variety of events, such as Motorkhana, Autocross, Hill Climb and Rally Sprint.

Female driver Val Hart was the pick of the bunch, coming away from the awards night earlier this month with five trophies.

Hart claimed the Ladies Motorkhana, Novice Hill Climb, Ladies Hill Climb, Ladies Overall Champion and the Most Done Least Gained trophy.

Hart received the "least gained" trophy for the work she is doing recording the club's history. Part of her work, which included 500 photographs of hill climbs from the 1950s to the 1980s, was continually shown on a large screen throughout the night.

Doug Adnitt won four trophies, Hill Climbs 2001+cc, Fastest Saloon, Rally Sprint and Best Kept Car, while club president Steve Hart also won four trophies.

The trophies were presented by four past members, Graham Wright and Ray Scampton, who are foundation members of the club which started in 1955, and life member Doug Marsh with his wife Raewyn.
