As president of one the best and most successful clubs in Australia I am writing this letter to all members and their families and friends, in a bid for your assistance.

Our club is in desperate need of volunteers to assist in running our race meetings and specifically, our club day meetings.

Over the past 12 months we have noted a steady decline in official’s numbers to the point where we run the real risk of having to cancel a club day meeting due to not having enough people to organise and run the meeting.

This attrition rate is due to several circumstances which include people moving on to other fields of endeavour, several retirements  and other volunteers just "burning out".

The shortage of people willing to volunteer to help run a meeting is not limited to just our club.

Many clubs are having to cancel their club day meets, because of lack of officials and volunteers for much of the same reasons as above. We need to ensure that this does not happen to our club, by lightening the workload on our existing volunteers.

If you are able to assist in any way, we can guarantee that you will have a unique vantage point to watch the trackside action from very close quarters!

We need a starter, grid marshals, leading up to trainee stewards and Clerk of Course accreditation.

Assistance and training will be given to new volunteers.

Please have a think about these positions as they are rewarding and you would be doing a great service to your club.

For further information, please contact either Gary Haythorpe, John Wall or Stella Pringle.

Best Regards,
John Wall

IT'S BACK! 

In what will be Australasia’s biggest karting race this decade, the 4 hour TAG endurance race at Todd Road on December 15th has cash & prizes totalling over $20,000!!

This will be similar to the race event we held a few years back, so for drivers who previously competed in it will know how much fun it was.

This will only be open to the first 75 karts (two man teams)!! From the talk around the pits over this will fill up quickly. Teams will be represented with two drivers utilising one of the TAG engines currently available (X30, ROTAX, GALAXY) on MG Red Tyres. There will be two sets allocated to TAG Senior competitors with the second set only being purchased by the people who make the final field.

The event will also see a KA3 Junior category compete for a 45 minute Enduro with one 5 minute mandatory pit stop. Junior drivers will be using the same Dunlop tyre as this year, one set throughout qualifying and race. 

For the first time, there will also be a Cadet category competing which we are excited about! 

The length of the race will be 30 minutes with one mandatory pit stop and one driver. It’ll be a mixture of Cadet 12 & Cadet 9. 40 entry maximum for this category. 

The race will be in the clockwise direction (up the hill) and the clover leaf (in grid / out grid) will be used for Pit stops and weigh ins.

For now we have already secured over $20,000 in cash prizes to be divided between the categories. A big thanks to our sponsors to date; Shamick Racing, AA Semi Trailers, Focus On Furniture, DPE Kart Superstore, Patrizicorse and many more. 

Once the cut off is met, you'll need to wait until 2019. I can assure you it's one of the most enjoyable days you'll have!
