MG Car Club of South Australia Motorsport Mutterings Upcoming events months are: The Super Sprint run recently was the final round of the MGCCSA championship for 2016. This doesn’t mean the end of motorsport for the year. in the next Saturday 29 October is a Come & Try Hillclimb at Collingrove which is an opportunity for new competitors to try hillclimbing. November 17 - 19 – Classic Adelaide Rally See some great classic cars getting around SA roads in touring or competition mode. See the cars up close at the Friday night Gouger Street Party and the Twilight stage in Victoria Park on the Saturday evening. Check the website for details of tickets and times. www.classicadelaide.com.au Planning is well under way for the 2017 calendar and we have confirmed Mallala dates for super sprints and the Peter Hall Six Hour. Motorkhana and Hillclimb dates are a bit more flexible so the discussion continues but it is shaping up to be a very busy year. Spend the Christmas lull wisely getting the cars ready! In addition to the regular events we will also have a National Meeting at Easter in Adelaide and an Inter Club Challenge in Melbourne at Queen’s Birthday weekend which will be a Rob Roy Hillclimb and a Sandown Super Sprint. November 19 - 20 – Victoria Park Sprint The other half of the Adelaide Motorsport Festival is the Victoria Park Sprint which overlaps the Classic Adelaide. See some amazing cars being driven as they should be including historic Formula 1 cars and a great array of classics. Should be an amazing weekend. www.adelaidemotorsportfestival.com. au Another exciting addition to the calendar for 2017 will be a Come and Try Super Sprint. This will allow new sprinters to receive some tuition and guidance from an experienced sprinter at their first event while still completing the full sprint program. If you have thought about sprinting but had some doubts, or you know someone who has, this is a great opportunity to get involved. Sunday 30 November is Multi Club Hillclimb Round 3 at Collingrove which is the final event counting towards the MGCC SA championship. Entries are through the CAMS online event entry system which is accessed via the CAMS Member Portal. I believe entries are still open but you will need to get in soon if you wish to enter. The Come & Try is currently scheduled for Sunday 12 March at Mallala and it will be supervised by the MSCA Victorian team who have been running these for some years and have offered to come and help MSCA SA get started. This would be a great lead up to the Nat Meet if you are thinking of competing. Cheers Murray 18
