Enduring the Enduro …
The recent Endurance Race meeting was quite disappointing on a few counts.
Firstly we were very short on Flaggies, and were thus struggling to get numbers into the flag points. A number of officials from other disciplines were drafted into flagging duties … even Raymond Shaw (the Secretary of the Meeting) ended up flagging with me on Flag Point 11 … which was quite interesting for me, as he spent a lot of time on his mobile phone coordinating activities in the race office, and thus gave me a little insight as to some of the activities that go on “behind the scenes” in running a race meeting.
Secondly, the day was very long and just dragged on, with lots of significant delays for various reasons, starting with delays due to official’s numbers and medical staff being late, to major accidents and mechanical problems causing delays with vehicle recoveries.
Derek has been in touch with the WASCC regarding the impact to Flaggies of such a long day, and had an immediate response from WASCC GM Peter Thornell offering apologies and appreciation to those that helped out.
So a huge thanks to everyone who was able to attend and flag, as your assistance was appreciated, particularly in light of the demands of the day.
Coming events …
The last race meeting of the season is almost upon us …
the Night Masters will be run on Saturday November 15. You should have received the Supp Regs in the mail by now – sign on time is 1300 hrs (1pm) to be in position trackside at 1345 hrs.
This will be a day/night event using the Short Track … however, as we would have struggled to field enough Flaggies even for Short Track duties at the last event, please try to attend this last event of the season if at all possible.
The WASCC are looking to make this a big event to celebrate 40 years of racing at Wanneroo, with free rides for kids and fire works. There will be a prize draw for officials, with the prize being a day at the Fastlane Racing Driver School driving Formula Fords.
AGM …
The AGM will be on Sunday 23rd at Hogs Breath Mindarie at 4:30pm.
Milo has allowed us entry prior to the normal opening time so we can hold the AGM. Therefore proceedings will commence at 4:30pm, to be followed by dinner. The meal will be covered by the WFMA, however you will need to pay for your own drinks. This event is only for financial WFMA members and immediate partner.
Please RSVP by the NightMasters (ie Sat 15th), so that we can finalise numbers with the restaurant.
