MG Car Club of South Australia
Motorsport Mutterings – April 2019
Congratulations to our MGCC members
who collected trophies for the 2018
MSCA Super Sprint series at the picnic
in February. See the separate article on
the previous pages, but John Davies
won Sprint Champion with Jason Ed-
wards runner up and Dick Manning won
the Sprint Driver of the year. They each
also won their respective classes. Well
done guys and good luck for 2019.
Sunday 7 April – Multi Club Hillclimb
Round 1, Collingrove
The first multi club Hillclimb will be run
at Collingrove on 7 April. Get your en-
tries in early on CAMS event entry sys-
tem as this event will fill quickly.
Sunday 5 May - Peter Hall Memorial
Six Hour Regularity
Over recent years Team Emgee has
performed well and made it up to fourth
position but it would be great to get onto
the podium. This event is about team-
work with drivers required to be reliable
and consistent but also the support
team providing information and encour-
agement plays an important role. The
day is then finished off with a hot dinner
and presentations at the track prior to
going home. If you would like to be in-
volved in either role please contact Bev,
Steve or me.
Sunday 26 May – CAMS 2019 SA Mo-
torkhana Championship Round 2
Round 2 of the SA Motorkhana Champi-
onship will be run by Nissan Datsun Car
Club most likely at Mallala. Watch face-
book for entry details but expect the
supp regs to largely the same as for the
MGCC event on 24 March..
Queen’s Birthday Weekend 8 & 9
June – MG Club Challenge
The Challenge is scheduled for Victoria
on the Queen’s Birthday weekend in
June this year. Initial information sug-
28
gests this will be a great weekend with
events centred around one site so mini-
mal travel over the weekend and lots of
fun. Keep watching the website for infor-
mation and mark it in your diary now.
Sunday 16 June – Super Sprint
Round 2 – The Bend
Round 2 of the MSCA Super Sprint se-
ries will be held on The Bend West Cir-
cuit on 16 June and preparations are
well under way in the MSCA. Given the
size and configuration of the track there
will be requirement for far more officials
than we use at Mallala so all clubs are
rostered on for the day to provide flag-
gies. You will be well fed and have a
front row seat for the action so please
put it in your diary and consider coming
out to help. Let Bev or Steve know of
your availability.
This is my last mutterings, in print any-
way. Thank you to all the competitors,
officials and followers who have sup-
ported and encouraged me for the past
eight years on the committee. I will still
be involved in the MSCA and hope to
get back in the Honda a bit more often.
