A few members have orga­nized a get together after Michael’s “Cel­e­bra­tion of Life” at the Direc­tors Hotel. This was deemed the best loca­tion as it is where the club meet­ings are held and there­fore members should know and be able to attend.

It is with great sadness that the IPRASA wish to pass on our con­do­lences to the Rooke family and friends after Michael’s passing at round two of the SAMRC. A much loved com­peti­tor and friend of many, a true gen­tle­man who will be sadly missed.

Well done to the SA boys Mark Ruta & Chris Brown at Bathurst this week end. Looks as they both can bring their cars home in one piece after what looked like some good racing. Well done also to Ray Hislop in low­er­ing the lap record by a sub­stan­tial amount.
