Motorsport activity day.

[bbcoupe]

Ok here is the latest on offer for a motorsport activity day.

The Sporting Car Club of SA have invited all entrants of the 13th Falcon GT Nationals to their Historic Race Car Meeting being held at Mallala Motorsport Park on the Sunday of the Nat's. This event for Historic Race Cars(CAMS Classification) has been held over the Easter Weekend for the past 15+ years and offers a mix of racing and time trials. 2009's event will be celebrating 40 years of Racing Fords (starting from the introduction of the Formula Ford class). An invitation has also gone out to ex group C and group A cars to participate as they now qualify for historic race meetings.

They have offered us a grassed parking area for Nat's entrants and will add an Invitation Class to the program for Nat's Entrants to compete in. There will also be a couple of lunch time parade laps for all entrants who come out for the day.

The invitation class will be run as a "Regularity" event. The idea is that after posting lap times during practice you nominate the most consistant time and then during a 4 lap session you are awarded points for how close you are able to run against your nominated lap time. Go too fast and you are penalised severly, go to slow and you are penalised moderately, consistancy is the winner.

As this is something a little bit different to the past Nat's and as it is part of another orginsations event we would like your feedback as to what level of participation you would be interested in. The final cost for this event will be determined based on the number of Nationals entrants interested in attending.(will be under $20 car load for entrants and between $60-$100 for competitors)

Would you like to go out to Mallala as a spectator?
Would you like to go out to Mallala as a competitor?
Would you rather go on a Barrosa Valley winery cruise?

Your feedback ASAP will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Sean.

Hey guys,

I'll be out at Mallala for the weekend - hopefully on Flag Point 2 so I can listen to your cars as you come past. (but I digress) What i would like to know is - during our Lunch Break how hard would it be for Murray and John to come over and say G'day to the race officials - a few of us have been around long enough to remember those two drivers in Falcons and it would be so good to talk to them.

I realise it may be a little short notice but if you can help, that would be great.

Looking forward to seeing all your cars on the weekend - drive safely and more to the point - ENJOY YOURSELVES.

Paul B.

how many GT's are competing at malalla ,has the sporting car club given you any idea,tryin to decide between the footy and the track!

[bbcoupe]

There are 20 Falcon GT's competing in the GT Regularity class, plenty of other action in other classes though, big field of entrants in the Group N field.

Don't know exactly what it will take to drag you away from the footy, but how many more games to go to this year V's only one chance to see whats on offer at Mallala!

[RPO.383]

Hi Sean yep got the info pack but nothing in there about what what needs to be done to these cars? Maybe I will try and ring some one. Hagen.

[ozfast]

very true sean,i think you just made the decision for me

At least two references in this thread about the admission cost being $20 per car. Pity nobody thought to arrange the special admission cost with the organisers at the track. It cost $20 p.p. to get in.
