TRACK TIMES
Before we kick off the year’s racing (see next page), I thought we’d keep the festive feeling going a bit longer
with some holiday photos from Oahu, Hawaii… Dave Nichols, President & Editor.
Big Healey, Riviera, old Harley outfit, T‘bird, Mustang, funny plate. What did you expect? Hula dancers?
SUMMER INVITATION ENTRIES OPEN – GET YOURS IN NOW!
The holidays may be over but the good times start on February 21st, with our Summer Invitation
meeting on the fabulous Druitt (GP North) Circuit at Sydney Motorsport Park. If you haven’t received
your Call for Entry yet, call Charles or simply use the Entry Form on this site.
This was one of our most popular meetings last year, so make sure you’re there to enjoy all the
competition and camaraderie.
DEDICATED FIELDS
As mentioned in our last issue, FoSC is keen to get more dedicated fields at our race meetings. Last
year, for example, we ran dedicated events for one-make groups and Historic categories, such as
Excels, Group S, HTCA, MX-5 Cup, PRBs, VRA, Qld Classic Sports Sedans and the VEK Pulsars.
A field of PRBs always provides close and exciting racing. Photo: FoSC archives.
We’d like to run even more of these – and give you an incentive to put a dedicated field together,
for your club or class. Here’s what we mean by dedicated fields, and how you could benefit:
FoSC 2016 Dedicated Fields Conditions
1. A dedicated field is a previously agreed exclusive race/regularity field of cars.
2. A minimum of 20 cars is required or the equivalent value entry payment for a dedicated field.
