Wings over Illawarra

After lots of consideration and discussions we regret to inform you that the classic vehicle display at Wings Over Illawarra 2022 has been cancelled.

We tried every possible scenario to keep the classic vehicle display but unfortunately due to the construction delays at the airport along with all the wet weather we've been having; all of the possible options to place the classic vehicles is just not feasible as they are all dirt so with even just a small bit of rain which is entirely possible based on the forecast those areas could very likely become mud, which is not ideal for any vehicle let alone classic vehicles.

Therefore, we've had to make the sad decision to cancel the classic car exhibit for this year as there is no alternative spots except for muddy ones. Although the classic vehicle display has been cancelled, we will still honour your classic vehicle ticket for entry so feel free to come along and enjoy the weekend.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. Thanks for understanding.

Many thanks,

CSCA Round 2, SMSP South Circuit

Hosted by the Sprite Car Club of Australia.

Please note, this is not a State Supersprint and MCC members won’t have to compete amongst people vying for a State Championship, the Combined Sports Car Association are the traditional marques that Mini Car Club of NSW used to compete amongst, I believe the Mini Car Club was a member of the CSCA at some point in the past.

The South Circuit is short and twisty, which should suit a Mini, but members are free to run any vehicle of their choice; it doesn’t have to be a Mini.

Below are the supplementary regulations and other documents for the Sprite SMSP Supersprint on Saturday, 23 April.

Entries are now open for CSCA Round 2 hosted by SCCA on Saturday 23rd April. Please find the invitation letter attached.

 

Entry is via the MA Event Entry system and is now operational.

Please note the following:

• Minimum License Requirements, remain as L2S. I noticed that when I did a dummy entry, the MA Event Entry System says that a Non Speed license is ok, this is incorrect. Apparently these licenses have been discontinued by MA – they are investigating the glitch in the system.
• Self Statement of Vehicle compliance.  Please complete and send to the Event Secretary at time of entry by email tocaptain@spriteclub.com
• Self Checklist speed.  Please complete and send to the Event Secretary at time of entry by email to captain@spriteclub.com
