As a motorsport competitor, I, like a lot of others are champing at the bit to have a drive at “The Bend” and this will now take place at the MG Club Challenge in June, not only will there be our Chal- lenge Sprint on the east circuit but there will be a contingent of MG’s from the Victorian Racing Register competing at the 2 day Sporting Car Club race meet- ing on the west circuit, see page 48 Talking of cars, What a beautiful car Peter Shipsides WA is, and I can’t wait to see Bazzicas Arnolt when it’s finished. Finally the controversy about the first MG has been decided, see page 44 Isn’t age and illness a terrible thing, see an old friend of the Club has left us !
