From the Desk of the President

The Committee met again on Monday night. We discussed that some members are going above and beyond their quota for volunteering, and we are actively trying to engage other members who have never volunteered to step up and contribute equitably towards the running of the club’s race program. Some members will be receiving an email from us asking you to look at our calendar and to schedule yourself to help out. We use the algorithm of the total number of events you have raced in conjunction with the number of races you have participated in since you last helped out. This information is in your public-facing record in the results section here https://rms.crmcc.org.au/index

Some members have never helped out. It is now a requirement of club membership to contribute to at least one event as a volunteer per year, and you receive at minimum, a free race credit too.  Unfortunately, in some circumstances, we will need to inactivate their race eligibility until they can rectify their race to volunteer ratio.

We are looking into a way where we can offer more race credits to members for helping out for certain roles, in lieu of the honorarium. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

We still need a marshal for this Saturday’s kermesse at SDTC. Please contact committee@crmcc.org,au if you can help out.

Next Race – Sutton Driver Training Centre – 12 July 2025

Our next event is a graded scratch race at Sutton Driver Training Centre. Please note the start time has moved 30mins earlier than usual to a 1pm start to avoid the kangaroos in the late afternoon that were reported as an issue at a previous event at this venue. This race forms part of the Sutton Super Series. Further details on the series are shown below.

Enter here https://rms.crmcc.org.au/calendar?5025441

Cost is $10, with registration closing at 5pm on Friday 11th July.

The club needs 20 riders registered for the event to proceed

Sutton Super Series

Six races will be held over the winter season at the Sutton Road Training Centre, with riders accumulating the points gained as per the list :

1st 10 points

2nd 8 points

3rd 6 points

4th 4 points

5th 3 points

6th+ 2 points

This scoring system differs from the RMS. 10 points will still be awarded to the winner even if only one rider starts the race.

Riders with the most points accumulated at the end of the series will be crowned grand champions for their grade.

Here are the main rules:

  1. The final round will be worth double points and riders that participate in all races will get a bonus 12 points.
  2. Prizes such as gift vouchers will be presented after the final race for first, second and third places.
  3. Riders must compete in the final race to receive a prize and be present at the prize ceremony. 
  4. Riders who are promoted will take half their points with them to the higher grade.
  5. Point scores will be kept for each grade and updated after each round. 
  6. If more than one rider finishes with the same final score, a count-back of the overall results will determine the higher place getter.
  7. The races may not all be scratch races, with a points race as another option.

Riders intending to compete in the series should make themselves familiar with all the rules.  Any feedback will be welcome prior to the first race but it won’t be possible to make changes to the format after that.
