July 2018 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Ferrari Club National Rally Track Day Super Sprint A very good friend of our club at MSCA Super Sprints at Mallala is Ian Crouch, an Alfa Club member, drives an Alfa Spyder and Porsche Box- ter, Ian is also a committee member of the SA Ferrari Club and is organising their National Rally to be held in Ade- laide during the week of 15th to 20th October. On the Wednesday 17th they are con- ducting a Track Day Super Sprint For- mat at The Bend Motorsport Park Tailem Bend on the West Circuit (that we used for the MG Challenge) and Ian has approached us and other MSCA clubs me to see if there would be any of our members who would be prepared to joint other flag marshals for the day. He realises that many of our club mem- bers carry out these roles at Mallala Super Sprints and are therefore experi- enced in the task, ( being mid week SAMROA flag marshals are not readily available ) and experienced volunteers are what he needs. The West Circuit has 12 flag points plus the starter, of which only 9 would need to be manned, so while it is practical to have two people at each location he needs at least one experienced flag marshal in each point. Ian had offered to pay our members for their assistance, however I advised him that this presents a precedent that could jeopardise seeking volunteers in the future, he has therefore offered to donate money to the clubs that supply the volunteers, which I consider would be more appropriate. Ian would see that volunteers would be well fed and looked after. If you are prepared to help Ian please contact him at , [email protected] or 0419 806 177 I have indicated my help as has Berry Treffers so it would be practical to meet somewhere, perhaps the clubrooms, and share the rides. Ian estimates 50 or so Ferrariā€™s would be competing Laurie Houghton 17
