Hi All,<br />
Presidential Ponderings<br />
It’s been a tough few months for our <strong>Club</strong> But as usual, the members have pulled<br />
together and worked hard to make all our events run as smoothly as possible!<br />
As most of you know there was a serious crash in the Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally<br />
involving Milan Filo and Jason Rowley, but what you may not know is at the recent<br />
presentation evening for the event there was a fund raising auction to support<br />
both families.<br />
There was a substantial amount raised for them and I would like to thank the<br />
following for the donation of the goods auctioned on the evening, Octagon,<br />
Ultimate Motorsport Events, <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Districts</strong> <strong>Car</strong> <strong>Club</strong>, Clipsal 500, V8 Supercars, CAMS, asp,<br />
RaceCam, S&J Automotive, Michael Miels, Supaloc, David McDonough and Martin Donnon.<br />
We had some Awesome competition at the <strong>Southern</strong> SA Autocross, where the winner (James Rodda) was<br />
decided on the very last run. Lewis Parin was second and Guy Tyler rounded out the podium and also<br />
claimed the Anti-Clockwise lap record along the way. I would especially like to thank the Officials who<br />
stood out in the middle of Lanac Park on a cold day and well into the evening.<br />
The second round of the SA Rally Championship was run at Robertstown on the 25 th of June and several<br />
club members put in notable performances James Rodda recovered from an early problem to finish 3 rd<br />
outright, The Krichauff Brothers came in 5 th and Daniel Day took 6 th in a highly competitive field.<br />
Coming up in the near future is the 3 rd JDP and SDCC Khanacross Series round on the weekend of<br />
the16th and 17 th of July. The supp regs will be up on the website soon and we look forward to a fast and<br />
competitive event.<br />

At the June Committee Meeting I mentioned that I had a Google alert on “Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally”<br />
and received many and varied alerts including 1 from the UK as well as some from spectators who had<br />
taken photographs at the event and placed them on the web.<br />
I also reported that we had 10 of the 18 accredited CAMS photographers at the <strong>2011</strong> asp Adelaide Hills<br />
Tarmac Rally. It was then decided that we would hold a photographic competition and all registered<br />
photographers would be invited to submit 5 photos of their choice.<br />
The front cover was not one that was submitted but since seeing in one of my Google alerts I was<br />
impressed with it and decided that it should adorn this month’s front cover. In this month’s magazine is a<br />
selection of the photographs submitted. The front cover photo was taken by Chris Harvey and more of<br />
Chris’s shots are available at www.brassmunkymedia.com.au .<br />
Oh are you wondering how many alerts I received? It was an impressive 45 daily alerts with 78 web<br />
appearances reported.<br />
So thank you to the following photographers who submitted entries in the very short time from the idea<br />
to the AHTR Trophy Presentation function at the Alma Hotel on Thurs 30 th June.<br />

THE <strong>2011</strong> ASP ADELAIDE HILLS TARMAC RALLY<br />
PRESENTATION EVENING WASH-UP<br />
The <strong>2011</strong> asp Adelaide Hill Tarmac Rally presentation evening saw the official closing ceremony for this<br />
year’s rally with the combined presentation dinner and fundraising event for Milan Filo and Jason Rowley.<br />
Over 100 competitors, officials and sponsors packed the Goo Roo bar at the Alma Hotel in Norwood SA.<br />
The guests were honoured to be able to spend the evening with the wives and family of Milan and Jason,<br />
who spoke on behalf of both men and thanked the rally organisers, their team, the various emergency<br />
services groups and Dr Bruce Paix and Dr Sok Ping Choeng for the outstanding lifesaving emergency<br />
response to the accident their husbands were involved in. We were privy to an update on their current<br />
situation, being advised that Jason is now in rehabilitation, and on the path to recovery, with Milan<br />
showing very positive signs by coming out of his coma for the first time on Wednesday night.<br />
The fundraiser, an auction that was brilliantly managed by Sean Bennett and the evening’s MC, Heather<br />
Cox, raised over $16,000. Items generously supplied by a plethora of supporting organisations were<br />
snapped up in what can only be described as a bidding frenzy, and the generosity of the attendees was<br />
amazing, with some items bringing up to 7 times their actual value. It was heartening to see the<br />
Australian rally community throwing so much support behind Milan, Jason and their families. To those<br />
that supplied the various items; Octagon, Ultimate Motorsport Events, <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Districts</strong> <strong>Car</strong> <strong>Club</strong>,<br />
Clipsal 500, V8 Supercars, CAMS, asp, RaceCam, S&J Automotive, Michael Miels, Supaloc, David<br />
McDonough and Martin Donnon a big thank-you as it was very much appreciated.<br />
We still have three items, with their reserves set via bidding at the “live” auction last night, listed on<br />
eBay for anyone that is interested in purchasing entries to Classic Targa Adelaide <strong>2011</strong> and Targa Wrest<br />
Point 2012, entry to the 2012 Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally or an ECUTek tune from S&J Automotive.<br />
We thank Ultimate Motorsport Events, Octagon Events, and S&J Automotive for the opportunity to<br />
maximise the possible benefits that these items can bring the Filo’s and Rowley’s. To place your bid,<br />
please go to eBay and search for AHTR. The organisers of the <strong>2011</strong> Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally, Ultimate<br />
Motorsport Events and <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Districts</strong> <strong>Car</strong> <strong>Club</strong> were also honoured to hand over a cheque to the<br />
Variety <strong>Club</strong> of SA, the <strong>2011</strong> event charity. With over $12,000.00 raised by both the <strong>2011</strong> Mount Alma<br />
Mile, and the <strong>2011</strong> Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally, it was a great result. 2012 will find both events and the<br />
Variety <strong>Club</strong> of SA working together again as both teams are committed to achieving and even better<br />
result next year.<br />
The evening culminated with the presentation of awards to the winners of the Australian Modern Tarmac<br />
Championship, Australian Classic Tarmac Championship, SA Tarmac Rally Championship and Round 1 of the<br />
SA Rally Championship. While Matthew and Dennis Sims walked away with the ultimate prize of 1st<br />
Outright, it was apparent that everyone walked away with the warm feeling inside that they had helped<br />
their fellow competitors through some tough times ahead.<br />
Ultimate Motorsport Events would like to thank everyone that has been involved in running of the <strong>2011</strong><br />
Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally and helping with the fundraising for both Variety SA and Milan and Jason. A<br />
special thankyou also must go to those that put forward the auction items and to the team at the<br />
Confederation of Australian Motorsport (CAMS) for the huge amount of support they have provided over<br />
the past month.<br />

2 of our Junior Development vehicles need new homes.<br />
Unfortunately this has happened during the middle of the year and we have<br />
such short notice<br />
There are three SEPARATE tasks and any help is appreciated:<br />
� Storage of the car between JDP events<br />
� Transport the car to and from the Last JDP day<br />
� Wash, charge and check in preparation for the Final JDP day<br />
Please contact SDCC if you can help with ANY of the above.<br />
Even if you can only do ONE of the items above it will help reduce the workload for the JDP program.<br />
Thanking You<br />
