AFJA 2018 Report

Written by afja-admin on 1 January 2019. Posted in News, Report

Dear AFJA Enthusiast,

Happy New Year and great racing for 2019.

My apologies for the final report being a little late this year – the Christmas holidays interrupted things a little. 

The final pointscore is attached with the winners of the three perpetual trophies being:

The Leo Geoghegan Trophy – Noel Bryen

The Aussie Car Trophy – Rob Buckley

The Nereo Dizane One Litre F3 Trophy – Allan Conway.

Hopefully, now that the Diamond Jubilee has finally completed we will have some more competition for 2019, which kicks off at Phillip Island in March.  We will also hold the AGM at Phillip Island and details will follow as we get closer to the event.  I am open to suggestions for the racing calendar for 2019 and the list below is just a suggestion at this stage.  I am pretty sure that the Sandgropers intend to have a dual event one week apart at Barbagallo and the new track further south sometime in 2019, but I don’t have a confirmation of which month.  So, a very draft calendar based on what we did this year is:

Round 1 – Phillip Island – March

Round 2 – Wakefield Park – April

Round 3 – Mallala – Easter

Round 4 – Winton Short – May

Round 5 – Morgan Park – July

Round 6 – Winton Long – August

Round 7 – Wakefield Park – September

Round 8 – Eastern Creek  – November.

Please, let me know your thoughts.

Enclosed is a note from Rob Buckley, who is selling his lovely Aussie Special, the Golford.  A very affordable racing car for someone wanting to get into historic motor sport.

Also enclosed is the AFJA renewal form for 2019.  The joining fee is still only $50 and don’t forget, we are a CAMS affiliated Association, which means that this is the only club you need to join in order to go racing!

See you at Phillip Island.

Noel Bryen.
