Lindsay driving the P Type had to retire
early when he discovered he had prob-
lems with his supercharger after com-
pleting only a couple of laps which would
have been very disappointing for him.
It was good to see some our 2018 MG
Class winners back out on the track cir-
culating comfortably, and father and son
Martin & Thomas Ball amongst the
group.

It was a warm and tiring day for many,
and for the last run of the day, only 46
entrants took part.
We really appreciated the help from our
club volunteers – great effort everyone.

SA MOTORKHANA CHAMPIONSHIPS
Round 1, March 24 th
T
he Motorkhana was held at the Mal-
lala Skid pan, and the volunteers on
deck at the start of the day to help set up
the courses and assist with documenta-
tion of entries, followed by timing and
running the courses, was very much ap-
preciated.
5 different courses were run with 2 runs
at each test with the fastest time count-
ing. Tim experienced three (WD) wrong
directions throughout the day which is
very unusual for him. (Sorry Tim!) I think
it must have been the pressure he was
put under from his son Ben who was
competing at his first Motorkhana in his
WRX and did exceptionally well, and
wanting to compare times after each run
.
Faye had her own cheer squad with rival
lady competitors Sonya Flynn and Ka-
rein Heimsohn cheering her on at the
end of the courses. The excitement
when she finished each run was great to
watch, arms in the air and a shriek of
delight because she got it right. She is
looking more relaxed these days driving
the TD, but still gets heaps from son Ja-
son who keeps urging her to go faster.
She hasn’t quite got the back wheel off
the ground yet like Jason, but getting
closer. Jason, as always, driving the TD
to its limit, beat Tim in the same class on
this day.
Wes put Chris’s new MG ZS through its
paces to see how it compared to the
MG1100. He was kept busy driving the
two cars but got through unscathed, as
Chris sighed with relief.
As we watched him line up for his run in
the ZS, he closed the windows and sun-
