Upcoming Events

Farewell to Russ Maxwell – Sunday 11th June

Lou Iezzi is organising a get together to remember Russ and celebrate our friendships with him, from 11:30am on Sunday 11th June at Mulgoa.
Finger food will be provided, and it will be a cash bar for drinks.
An RSVP is required to attend.
More information is available on the club website here.

Club Hillclimb at Ringwood – Sunday 4th June

The club is running a single hillclimb this year, at the Ringwood Park Motorsport Complex north of Newcastle. This hillclimb day is designed for drivers that have little or no experience in this type of event, would like to try out a new discipline, or are yearning to fill the gaps in their motorsport calendar.
Late entries are still possible, but you would need to enter immediately.
Further information on the event and how to enter can be found on the event page.

NSW Supersprint at Pheasant Wood – Sunday 18th June

Coming in June we have the annual double header with a NSW Supersprint round on Sunday 18th June followed by a club Track Day on Monday 19th June. However, this year with our usual Wakefield Park venue unavailable, the events will be run at Pheasant Wood.
Entries have opened for the Sunday NSW Supersprint. More information is available on the event page.
We currently have 5 of the 10 volunteers that we need to flag at the NSW Supersprint, and can offer half-price entry for the Monday 19th June Track Day to those volunteers. Please contact me if you can help: competition@mx5.com.au

Club Track Day at Pheasant Wood – Monday 19th June

This is the 3rd round of the club track day championship.
Entries have opened, with further information and the entry link available on the event page.
Half price entry to this event is available to club members who volunteer to help as officials at the NSW Supersprint the club is running at Pheasant Wood on the day before the track day.
Currently we have only 19 entrants for this event, so we really need some more club members to step up and join the event. If you have any questions, please contact me at competition@mx5.com.au
