Wednesday 17 October – Ferrari Club
Australia National Meeting, The Bend
The response to our call for officials for
the FCA Nat Meet sprint at The Bend
has been great. Thank you. I believe we
have provided enough for the event but if
you are still keen and haven’t volun-
teered yet please contact Ian Crouch,
[email protected], to see if there is
room.
Even if you are not helping I am sure you
could wander out to have a look and a
listen.
Upcoming Events for MG Motorsport
C
AMS calendar activity continues
and it is anticipated that the MGCC
motorsport calendar for 2019 will again
include the MSCA Super Sprints, Sport-
ing Car Club Multi Club Hillclimbs and
five rounds of the State Motorkhana
Championship. Added to that will be the
National Meeting and Challenge.
MGCCSA will again run the first round
of the motorkhana series early in the
year and contribute flaggies to two su-
per sprints at Mallala. Note that you do
not have to limit yourself to the two
nominated MGCC flagging days. If you
would like to do more you are welcome
at every sprint and, should MSCA run
an event at The Bend, there will be a
call for as many flaggies as we can find.
Last month I wrongly reported the date
for the final MSCA Super Sprint. It is on
28 October as reported below.
Sunday 28 October – MSCA Super
Sprint Round 5, Mallala
This is the final round of the MSCA Su-
per Sprint Series so your last chance to
score points towards the end of year tro-
phies.
Competitor entries are taken via the
CAMS event entry system accessed
through the CAMS member portal. Don’t
forget to include your Dorian number on
the car description in meecams and
nominate your previous best lap time to
enable grids to be set up.
For those who don’t have a Dorian re-
member the Club has four which can be
hired for $20 a day.
Friday 12 October to Sunday 14 Oc-
tober – SA Hillclimb Championship,
Collingrove
This is a good event to compete or
spectate. Practice is on Friday and
competition starts with the first run on
Saturday morning. The event brings out
the best of SA hillclimbers as well as a
number of interstate competitors. The
competition can be fierce and you can
see some cars which are not generally
seen in SA. Come and have a look and
say g’day to the MGCC members com-
peting.
As it is an open event you need a
CAMS Log Book unless you run in the
road registered class but have a look at
Supp Regs to confirm you are eligible.
Entries via CAMS event entry system.
November 28 – 30 – Adelaide Rally
The MG Car Club is again helping out
with the Adelaide Rally again in 2018
running competition stages at The Bend.
There will be a number of stages at The
Bend which MGCC will be controlling so
we need help from experienced and nov-
ice officials. This will be the first day of
competition and there will be some great
cars to watch.

will keep you informed as the event
