FOR ALFAS RUNNING TRACKSIDE

By Competition Secretary

Welcome to the May report.  After a long break from the sprinting season, round 1 on the 28^th March, 2010 finally arrived but much to everyone’s dismay, the weather gods rained on our parade all day.  This resulted in a lot of open wheeled cars not wanting to play and interesting times testing everyone’s set up for the day.  Consequently times were well down and the results are as follows:

Good to see some new faces, young James Wiltshire performed admirably considering it was only his second time on the track and a big welcome back to Michael Katsikitis in his pristine Sud TI which he has been developing for the last three years.

Our next event is the 6 hour relay on Sunday 23^rd May, by the time you read this report you should have your teams sorted and entries posted, if not, please get a riggle on.  It is a wonderful event and you don’t have to drive fast to win, it is more strategy and team effort that will get you across the line, along with a little bit of lady luck.

Don’t forget your entrant declarations after reading the complete set of tables in the April magazine.

Upcoming events for the month of May are as follows:

16^th May                      ALFAS IN CLOVER AT SEMAPHORE

16^th May                      Motorkana at Big W Monarto

16^th May                      Hill Climb Winter Cup Rnd 1 at Collingrove

23^rd May                      6 hour relay at Mallala

29-30^th May                 Shannons Nationals at Mallala

That’s all for now.

See your backside trackside.
