Presidents Report December 2021
Last Updated: 07/12/2021

 

Hello all,

Firstly, congratulations to Iain McDougall on winning back-to-back 2 Litre Sports Sedan Championships. A great year of racing and well deserved. Iain is consistently fast regardless of the conditions. He may actually go faster in the wet. So well done Iain and of course his right-hand man Brett. Craig Lindsell the super neat 33 kept Iain honest the whole way and only narrowly missed the crown. Coming home third in the outright championship was the always smiling and spectacular behind the wheel Linda Devlin. Congrats to you all, the teams have certainly put on some great racing this year.

Congratulations to all of the class winners for a great season and hard-fought battles. We are will be holding the 2021 Presentation early next year, this will be combined with the 2022 season launch.

We are still waiting some details to confirm all of the dates for the 2022 season. But we can announce the events that are pretty well locked in. The season will start at Phillip Island for a single day event as part of the PIARC 70th Anniversary meeting. Next, we will move onto Winton at the July Super Truck Round (Short Circuit). Back to PI for August Access (2 day event). Winton Super Trucks in September for a run at the long circuit. The 5th event for the year will be at Tailem Bend with the SA Sports Sedans. The date for Tailem Bend round is yet to be announcement but likely dates be either in May/June or September/October. There might be a need to change the 2nd event at Winton if this clashes with Tailem Bend, but we can work through that once we know.

 So put these dates aside and we will get the date for Tailem Bend asap.

 

 

The club is always looking sponsors to help keep the moving forward. We have changed the options for sponsorship to make it more affordable. We are looking for a series sponsor, class sponsors, round sponsors and club supporters. Sponsorship options start from as little as $150. If you are interested or know someone who might be interested please contact anyone in the committee.  

While 2021 has been another challenging year the club has continued to grow. We finished the year with the highest membership in years. New cars coming in the 2022 season and more people getting involved. Thanks to all the people who have made efforts in so many different ways this year. Stay safe over Christmas, enjoy the holiday period and reset for hopefully a very bright 2022.

See you all in 2022,  

Simon,

President

2 Litre Sports Sedan Club
