The first round Hartwell Championship 2010 has been one of the most successful starts to the season, garages sold out within a week, over 170+ entries made for some great racing on the weekend in South Australia. Kelly Spargo was the chief steward for the meeting who did a great job. Many people started the weekend on Thursday with a Racing School held at Mac Park, whilst some just made the trip over for Friday practice and racing Saturday and Sunday. Well done to all the officials and riders for making this a memorable event, the introduction of live timing was well received and proved a great addition for quicker results and grid positions.
The weather for the weekend was very kind, only an evening shower on Saturday Night, track was dry for all events each day. Images from the event can be viewed here http://www.hartwellmcc.org/photo-library/photos/category/8-rnd1-2010.html, registered users can also upload images to the library.
Action into Turn 1.
Turn 3 saw some action all weekend!

Riders please note, now that we are using electronic timing it is very important that you enter race meetings by the ‘close of business’ cut off date. The reason is, that as we have to order transmitters for the meeting we will be using the cut off date to determine the quantity we need. Therefore, if you enter late you run the high risk of not being allocated a transmitter for the weekend and as a result not being timed. This also causes problems in the timing and lapscoring area, all of which we would like to avoid. We will be imposing a greater $ penalty for late entries to try and avoid these issues and the penalty
will be imposed.
It is far better to lodge your entry form early, don’t wait for reasons such as ‘I don’t have my licence number’, we can very easily fill this in later. It is much easier to withdraw an entry than it is to add an entry after the cut off date.
Phone Entries: Please only use this if you are cutting it fine. There is usually plenty of time to download or have an entry form sent out, to get it in in time.
