The IWMAC wishes you a very Happy and Safe New Year for 2022

We need some extra assistants for Race Days.

Getting involved and helping out each other is as much a part of racing as driving is.

I know you’ll agree we enjoyed another successful season of racing in 2021 despite the challenges of the pandemic and weather. In case you didn’t know, it takes a team to prepare for and organise each event we have at the track. We arrive to a beautifully prepared track and see our faithful volunteers at the track on race days who enjoy seeing you having fun.

Prior to and on race days our Event Secretary Sam and regular assistant, Katie are responsible for the planning of the Event with duties which include coordinating all our paperwork including the Sup Regs and then ensuring its all completed and correct for all the Motorsport Australia requirements to enable the event to commence.

Don is our long serving Clerk of Course and would like to take a step back from the day to day running of the Clubs events. The Clerk of the Course’s job is to monitor and inspect the track to ensure it is safe and ready to race on throughout the day as well as being responsible for conducting the Event in accordance with the Supplementary Regulations.

We have the need/opportunity in 2022 to support the Club and our Event Secretary, Clerk of Course to ensure we can continue to run race days when they are on holidays or otherwise not available. These are Motorsport Australia trained roles which can take you to rewarding volunteering at Motorsport Australia run events across Australia. You can take on the training or just nominate yourself to help out on race day as an assistant. The training for either of these roles is an online course taking approx. 1 -1.5 hrs each and is accessible through your own Motorsport Aust profile under the Online training tab. Clerk of the Course training is the Bronze Event Command and the Event Secretary is the Bronze Event Administration.

If you’d like to offside for Sam or Don and help them on a race day, please email the committee at:  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Or, if you know someone who might like to help out in this kind of role (a partner, a mate, a parent) and get involved in your race day, more than a spectator, let us know.

Yours in Motorsport

  • Amendment to Junior A Rules of Competition.

    Dear Members,

    There has been some discussion around the vehicles that Juniors are allowed to drive during our Club's competition, re Auto Cross and Open Sprints etc. After much research and discussion within the Committee and with Motorsport Australia we the Committee have agreed to an amendment to the Current Junior A Class rules. Note!  There is no Changes to the Current Junior Class.

    • Junior (J) class is for up to 2 Litre cars (normally aspirated only, 2WD)

    No Changes to Current Junior Class:  This is the preferred option for Juniors.

    • Junior A (JA) class is for over 2 Litres.

    Note - as it is expected that Juniors are relatively inexperienced, our club’s preference for safety reasons is that Juniors are not to run 4WD/AWD, V8's or turbo/supercharged cars.  To make way for all Juniors to participate in our sport Juniors wishing to compete in a car that is outside the current Junior (J) Class may nominate their car of choice.

    1. Parent-Guardian will be responsible for the Junior Driver
    2. Each driver must demonstrate to the Club the maturity to drive the nominated vehicle
    3. The Club reserves the right to accept or decline all entries
    4. At any time during a meeting the officials of the meeting can exclude a driver who shows a lack of maturity and/or control of the vehicle.
    5. Junior A is not eligible for the Club Junior Championship

     

    If you have any concerns or wish to discuss these changes feel free to contact me any time.

    regards

  • Update on Open Sprint Round 2 on 21 March 2021

    Hi Avid Racers,

              The farmers will be happy with the rain we have had here in Ipswich this week but we are a bit concerned regarding our Open Sprint Round 2 event this Sunday 21 March 2021. The IWMAC organising committee will be doing a track inspection on Friday morning the 19 March and making a call then on whether or not our event will go ahead on Sunday. 

    This Event has Been Postponed due to Wet Weather

    Regards

    Greg Woodbridge 

  • Update for Autocross Round 1 on 21 February 2021
    To all who have entered for our Autocross Round 1 tomorrow Sunday 21 Feb 2021, we have had very little rain here in Willowbank over the last week. The current radar looks like we will not get too much tonight. So we are Full Throttle Go for tomorrow. See you all bright and early for another great day of racing.

    Cheers Greg Woodbridge
