Well that was the Winter Race Meeting. It was great to see that we were able to fill all the pods with 2 people, so thank you to everyone for turning out, including Driver Mike Miller. The day started out sunny and warm which made a pleasant change from the weather of the previous few days…..but it went downhill from lunch time, wet, windy and chilly!!!!

Racing was fast and furious with quite a few excursions into the sand for all the categories, Safety Car incidents, close encounters of the doorhandle kind but at the end of the day I feel that we had a good day’s entertainment (i.e. racing), apart from having to wait till we got back to the shed to have electricity at the lunch break.

We have lots of goodies coming up over the next few weeks, both at Barbagallo’s and around the State. Quit Targa West is the 15th to 18th August with a number of us volunteering to help with various stages over the 4 days including the VSCC City Sprint on Sunday 18th.

The next Race Meeting is on the following weekend, the 25th, hopefully with lots of Historics coming out as well as the Sedan Super Cup, so will the Ferrari’s have another battle with the Porsches (????) plus Formula Fords, Classics and Vees putting in an appearance, so this promises to be a good meeting to be at.

Once again can I ask Members to send me some of their pictorial memorabilia to put up in our Picture Gallery (rickbh.wfma@gmail.com).
