he MG interstate Club Challenge

Collingrove on Saturday 9 June and a
Super Sprint at The Bend on Sunday 10
June using the west circuit. A number of
members of the MG Racing Register
from Victoria are coming to join the

gathering on the Saturday night at
Murray Bridge and the presentation din-
ner on the Sunday night in Murray

Please call Murray to offer to help or
come out over the weekend to witness

Sunday 17 June – MSCA Super Sprint
Round 2, Mallala
The second MSCA super sprint is on at
Mallala so get your entries in on CAMS
event entry system for this event. You
only have a few days left!
If you’re not competing come out to
have a look and encourage our mem-
bers. Our team is centred around shed
47 so come and say hello.
Sunday 15 July – MSCA Super Sprint
Round 3 incl Come & Try, Mallala
Round 3 will include a Come & Try sec-
tion so, if you have ever thought about
getting out there on track for some fun,
to improve your driving techniques or
just to have a look at the track, this is
your opportunity. You will receive expert
classroom tuition and supervised on
track sessions to learn what it’s all about
and to have some fun. Alternatively,
consider giving the opportunity to a fam-
ily 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!
Round 3 is also a round for which
MGCCSA provides flag marshals so
please let me know if you can assist.
Best seats in the house to watch the
action, great lunch and the opportunity
for some parade laps at lunchtime all at
no cost to you. No experience needed
as you will be teamed with someone
who can show you the ropes.

Peter Hall Memorial 6HR Relay
By John Davies
The Peter Hall 6 Hr relay was run on
Sunday 6th May at Mallala Motorsport
Park.
The event is named after Peter Hall
OAM who along with many other official
duties was the MSCA President for
many years.
It is due to Peter's motorsport involve-
ment that we are able to compete in
Sprints as they are sanctioned today.
Peter was also instrumental in the devel-
opment of the concept of the 6HR relay
as an ultimate club and team motorsport
event.
Peter was sadly killed in a Motorsport
crash at Phillip Island in 2013 and this
event is now held in his Honour.
