August 2017 See you all next time with your helmet on. Cheers Rob Hall Results John Davies Craig Ruediger Rob Hall Chris Hunt was very cold and damp early it quickly dried up and turned into a glorious win- ter’s day perfect for belting up a Hill. The day ran well again with large numbers entered (116 cars) with 34 come and try competitors included with 5 runs com- pleted for the day. Due to a lot of events running in June, especially the MG Challenge in Victoria the following weekend there were only 4 Mg club members entered. John Davies in the Evo Lancer was quick as usual and was in a bit more of a hurry than nor- mal as he had a wedding to attend later in the afternoon and disappeared after 3 runs, talk about fitting a lot in your day. Chris Hunt was entered in his Clubman and proceeded to get better times all day, he’s slowly getting to grips with the handling of the clubman and hopefully see him at more events soon.

The day however cleared to a beautiful day for racing and some good times were set. A good turnout for the MG group with 9 members entered on the day. John Da- vies once again out in front in the Lancer EVO followed by Jason Edwards in the Lotus who is getting closer to John’s times with a personal best time in the 1.18’s. he even threw in a few spins for the crowd whilst find the limits of the car. Scott Stephenson was out in the Honda for the day but unfortunately broke a crankshaft pulley so only got one run in but managed to get a drive in a Friend’s Excel for a couple of rounds. Craig Reudiger was out in the big XA GT and whilst putting in a good time to start he is still having trouble with the car throwing fan belts off so he also retired early. I was once again out in the MG ZS180 and continuing my little stoush with Dick Manning in the MGF times were close in the beginning but the gong went to me this time putting in a new PB. Lindsay Hick was out in the MG TC and was coming to grips with the extra grip of new tyres and in the process almost
