MONTH IN REVIEW
Dear members
Summer may be over but we are enjoying some beautiful autumn weather!
March began with our members meeting at Berwick BMW where we had almost 100 members and guests attend. It was also great to able to get up close and personal to the new M3 and M4. Thanks very much to Berwick BMW for inviting us, we had a great night.
____________________
On 7 March, we had round 2 of the Traction Tyres/Yokohama Drivers Championship at Rob Roy Hill Climb for the very first time. The sun was shining and there were many happy drivers, most improving their times each run they did.
____________________
The following day on 8 March, we held a come and try day for Race Chix Motorsport in conjunction with Shannons International Women's Day Festival at Broadford. It was amazing to see so many women on track and so many girls participating in the off track events. We hope to see all those who attended on track again in the future!
____________________
On 14 March we had a family day out to the Werribee Zoo! We were greeted with a brilliant sunny day and were taken on a safari bus tour so everyone could get up close to the animals.
____________________
16 March was our last mid-week sunset drive until our days become longer again. This time we departed from Waverley BMW where we were treated to a nice spread of food before our trip up Mt Dandenong. We had over 30 cars in attendance who all enjoyed the spectacular view of the Melbourne city lights.
____________________
Our month ended with E30 Racing Round 2 at Winton over the weekend and a twilight drive for our members in Geelong on Sunday, where members finished their evening with dinner at Grill'd Geelong. Taking the long way to dinner can be quite enjoyable when you do it with great company.
We had quite a few members racing at Winton, especially one member, Anton Bergman, who didn't know he was racing until the day before! You can read about his eventful weekend here.
