* Note: The Yamaha engines have been removed from the KA4 and KA3 Classes (these become solely IAME KA100 Classes). TAG100 has been removed as a standalone Class. The Yamaha engines from KA4, KA3 and TAG100 have all been included in their own Class (Chapter 18 YAMAHA). Each State Association will be able to nominate in State Regulations either the Dunlop DFM tyre or the Bridgestone YDS tyre for the Yamaha Class.

Rule References and Clarifications

National level events will continue to be conducted on the Prime Tyres. This is using the National Competition Rules and the State Regulations and Supplementary Regulations to their maximum advantage – where the organisers of each competition want to use them. The organisers of the State Cup and the various State Trophy events that seem to be developing, would only need to nominate which of the Prime or Option Tyre would be used for their event in the Supplementary regulations for their event. Noting of course that those Supplementary Regulations must be approved by the State Association. It is recommended that this Table and the accompanying explanatory statements become incorporated in the 2019 Victorian State Regulations.

All members please note that the track will be closed to all Members from Tuesday 12th March to Saturday 16th March 2019.

The track will be available again for practise 8am Sunday 17th March 2019.

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

Our first club day for the year will take place this Sunday, February 24th. Please check out the Club Days page for the supp regs as well as all the club day information for 2019.
