MG Car Club of South Australia
MSCA Super Sprint , Sunday 15 July
Up Coming events
A
cold and windy day at Mallala was
what greeted 77 competitors and
friends on Sunday, but as they say,
“when the going gets tough the tough
get going”.
There were six MG competitors, John
Davies, Jason Edwards, Craig Reudi-
ger, Nick Micklem, Dick manning and
Alf Smith first time seen on the track in
an MGF.
Our Club was rostered to provide offi-
cials and 7 members attended, Peter
Coulson, Tony Freckelton and myself
were freezing in flag point 5 at the end
of the back straight , I was not sure
where the other members were.
Murray Stephenson kept warm in the
timing tower as assistant Clerk of
Course, and tells me there were a num-
ber (7) of other club members present .

Sunday 19 August – MSCA Super
Sprint Round 4 with Come & Try, Mal-
lala
Note the change of date for the round 4
super sprint. It was on the 26 th but that
clashes with the V8 Taxi Cabs at The
Bend so the sprint was brought forward
a week.
This round includes a Come & Try sec-
tion for those who haven’t tried sprinting
before or are looking to polish their
skills. In the C&T group you will receive
expert classroom tuition and supervised
on track sessions to learn what it’s all
about and to have some fun. Alterna-
tively, consider giving the opportunity to
a family member or friend. Participants
do not need to belong to a car club and
they purchase a competition licence for
the day. It’s great fun and you will learn
something. Be careful, motorsport is
addictive!
November 28 – 30 – Adelaide Rally
Following the success of our stages at
Mallala in the 2017 Adelaide Rally, the
MG Car Club has been asked to help
out with the Adelaide Rally again in
2018 running a number of stages at The
Bend.
In order to record members attendance
at the Sprint meetings , Murray will have
a book at where the coffee is in the
garage for all members to sign in.
This will be to facilitate accurate records
for the Club Member of the Year.

More detail will come to hand over the
next few months but, if you’re interested,
mark Wednesday 28 November in your
diary as a day to come and help out
while watching some top action and
great cars.
