2008 - Is the year of change.
After asking our members to complete a survey on Dorian Timers we have been overwhelmed with the number of competitors who ticked the box to purchase one and with this response we have now decided that this year we will implement a change to the way we time our Super Sprints.
We have been able to obtain a good price on Dorian Timers for our members. Our price is $360.00 (inc GST) - normal price is $445.00. Get in early and order and pay for a Dorian Timer by sending your orders to the Post Office Box. If you wish to purchase on different terms please ring Sue to discuss further. We will be implementing the new system over the early part of the year and be using the complete system by the end of 2008.
Dorians are now available - send your money and we will make arrangements for delivery. For those who have paid - Dorians will be given out on Sunday.
Regs for Round 3 are now available.
As you will note the CAMS Level 2S Licence has increased this year to $95.00. We have kept our membership fees the same at $20.00 but due to increase in track hire for this year we are currently looking at whether we increase the cost of the super sprints. Currently we have left the cost at the same as 2007 and will watch the numbers of competitors entering each event which will determine whether the cost has to go up.
This year could be our last Twilight Super Sprint if the fields don't get bigger. Show us with your support that you want the Twilight Super Sprint to remain otherwise in 2009 we will not be running this type of event.
The M.S.C.A was formed in the early 70's to give the smaller Sports Car Clubs of South Australia the opportunity to compete at the Mallala Motorsport Racing Circuit and in Motorkhanas and Hillclimbs. With only a low number of members competing from each club, the individual members joined the M.S.C.A., allowing those drivers to compete in their cars. The Marque Sports Car Association is an association of 16 Clubs with the CAMS affiliation fee being paid by the association and the individual Clubs paying the M.S.C.A. an annual subscription fee.
Since its inception we have grown from 3 cars on the track with no passing to now 10 cars on the starting grid, starting in pairs flagged off 5 seconds apart, with 4 flying laps and passing on the straights only. We have full computerised timing down to the 100th of a second which has taken over from the hand held stopwatches.
Full safety systems are in place for every Super Sprint with an Ambulance, Fire & Rescue, Course Car, Recovery Team and manned Flag Bunkers with trained Officials. A maximum of 100 entries for each Sprint with all cars being Scrutineered before entering the track.
Classes are from the standard road cars to full race cars. Each driver gets at least 4 laps practice and these times are used to grid the cars in order from fastest to slowest which means you will always be driving with other cars of the same speed. You get at least 3 runs of 4 laps to Sprint around the track. Sprints are an ideal way to learn car control for every day driving with the Super Sprint Series run over 12 months with 4 rounds, with a Twilight Super Sprint in September and a 6 hour Moden Regularity Relay.
We also have a Driver Training Day run by our more experienced drivers showing you car control exercise such as braking into corner, driving to avoid obstacles on the road and cadence braking. A Club Display Day is held a the beginning of the year which incorporates the trophy presentation from the previous year.
