competitive year
.
The 2009 CSCA supersprint series kicked
off at Oran Park on Saturday the 14th
February on a very wet and ordinary day.
The normal crew from Newcastle had
travelled down to compete, and were
determined to have fun and learn from the
experience.
Track conditions were classed as wet
during the drivers briefing and deteriorated
as the day progressed. I can’t speak for all
but there were few drivers that had not
spun, or drifted wide on corners throughout
the day. An excellent learning experience
for one and all.
As the day progressed most sane people
packed up and headed for home, but the
Newcastle crew (Brad and Mal included)
could not get enough track time. They
continued until they either beached
themselves in gravel traps or ran out of
fuel. Excellent value for money was had by
all.
Round 2 of this popular series is being held
on the 14 March 09 and is being hosted by
MGCC Newcastle. If you are interested in
being an official on this day please give Mal
Roach or myself a call.
In closing the dirt Motorkhana scheduled
for Sunday 15 February was postponed
due the heavy rain during this weekend.
Mike Cole
for a round win at Wakefield Park.
Congratulations to these guys for achieving
success in what has been a very
The date for the re-scheduled event will be
announced via the club magazine and
placed onto the MG website.
