Club Championship Scores Update

Posted on by SteveH

Following the Moonlight Meander, Nick Wright, our Club Scorer, has updated the scores for all the Classes in our 2024 Club Championships.

With the cancellation of this year’s Valley Stages round of the VCRS championship, Melbourne University Car Club have added the Bog-a-Duck Rally to the VCRS calendar. Since it is replacing the Valley Stages, it will be a round of the Club Championship also.

This means we only have the Bog-a-Duck on October 20th and the Bagshot Rallysprint remaining for you to earn points in the Championship.

Whilst there are only 6 days between the 2 events, it means we have a total of 7 rounds and your best 5 will count towards the total.

The Bagshot Rallysprint is also a round of the HRA Autocross & Rallysprint Championship.

The 1961 Shell Two Day Trial Re-run, to be held this weekend, is the last round of the 2024 Touring Championship.

A message from the Clerk of Course…

On behalf of the Directing team, I would like to thank everyone who came out and braved the weather on Saturday. We had 20 crews for the day which is a good number of crews, of course we would always like more.

We would also like to thank the Pakenham Car Club for allowing us to utilize their grounds again and putting on breakfast and lunch again.

2023 HRA Championship Final Scores

Posted on by SteveH

The final round of the 2023 HRA Rally Championship has been run and won.

There were many HRA members’ names added to the scoring program after the Southern Classic & Marysville Stages. While the extra members contributed to HRA’s pointscore and helped us win the VCRS, it also meant a lot more research and/or guesswork on my part to allocate the ‘new’ crews to the correct vehicle category as well as Masters & Novices.

You can register for one or more series on the one form. Please provide the details to make the job of our scorer easier, including the car or cars you’ll use. And, if you’re a master or a novice, please provide these details as well.

Only registered members will score points in a Club Championship series.

Masters are maturing…

As with increasing retirement ages and advancing years, it’s now time to increase the age for qualification for our “Masters” Championship.

The committee have raised the age for masters from 55 to 60 years as at 1 January. You will be requested to confirm if you qualify for masters on the registration form.
