News from the Front
At a rapid rate of knots the year
is drwaing to a close. We've seen many great motorsport events come and
go.
Still plenty more to come, though.
I've even been able to attend a couple and compete in one as a Modified
register member.
Esteemed member Richard Milligan
managed to drag himself off to Phillip Island with the MG to compete in
the MG class of the Victorian
State Circuit Racing Series.
I attended the Sunday where I saw
him come last in both races. It was pretty much the flavour of the weekend
for him.
Saturday wasn't much better and he
remained a back marker all weekend. Poor Richard, god,you must cop it when
you go to the MGCC meetings!
I managed to run my Leyland P76 at
the Interclub Challenge at Rob Roy on September 23rd and ran some pretty
respectable times except the class
I was in (3 litres and over) contained
a couple of Porsche turbos, an AWD Subaru and some Mazda MX5 turbos,
so that comparison was not that great.
More on that a little later....
Our next meeting will be held at
Morris Garages, 6/3 Scoresby Road, Bayswater this Thursday night 18th of
October. Meeting starts around 8pm.
Byo chair and some drinks. There
will be a BBQ and some video footage from previous runs taken by various
members,
followed by the usual Yakkity-Yak.
There will also be a car on display and a guest speaker. A gold coin donation
will also help us with the BBQ.
Still plenty of events to go to this
year, The Mt Tarrengower Historic Hillclimb at Maldon is on this weekend
on the 21st.
It's always interesting to see some
of the cars that turn up to this one.
Another one that's always great is
Historic Sandown. There have been Rumours flying around that Sandown might
close as a motor
racing track at the end of this year.
I can now say this is definitely
untrue. The V8 Supercar Sandown 500 may be moved to Phillip Island due
to Noise restrictions
rather than the track closing.
Everything is still fine there for
the moment. Historic Sandown is on Friday / Saturday / Sunday November
9th, 10th & 11th.
One more to put in your diaries of
particular interest is Historic Rob Roy on Sunday November 25th.
Richard has entered his Group Sb
MGB to run in this one. Don' come last in this one, Richard.
Our Calendar has plenty more dates
for you to put in your memory banks, why don't you check them out.
Don't forget the website is constantly
being updated with events and news.
