Hi to all our keen racers. Many areas of Ipswich, Brisbane, North Coast and South Coast have sustained major flood damage over the last 4 days. The Amberly/Willowbank precinct received over 570mm of rain over these 4 days. We have not been able to get out to the track to inspect it yet, but we believe that the track will have sustained significant damage. The infield will also be very, very wet and no doubt full of ducks. It will take many days for it to dry out before we can undertake any repair work, and unfortunately more showers and rain are forecast for the end of this week.

Hence, the IWMAC committee have made the hard but correct decision to postpone our planned Day Night Autocross for the 5 March 2022 to a date yet to be advised.

Please stay safe everyone.

Regards Greg Woodbridge

Update on Autocross Rd 4 - 14 November 2021

To all our keen racers entered for our Autocross tomorrow. Sadly the weather has been against us again. With all the rain this week and this mornings track inspection, we have found the track still too wet to undertake any maintenance today. We have had to cancel our Autocross scheduled for tomorrow. Any prepaid entry fees will be able to be used as a credit for future events. Our AGM planned for tomorrow is postponed to our next event which is our Day Night Autocross on Saturday 4 December 2021. Get your entries in for this as it is our last event of the year including AGM, Annual Trophy Presentation and Dinner.

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
