Hi guys, My name is Peter Whitten, one of the 4 organisers of FOSC (Festival of Sporting Cars Inc).
You may have heard about this new event as part of our annual program for next year. We feel very privelaged to be invited by Bathurst Council to run a grass roots Motor Sort meeting on Mt Panorama for the next 10 years commencing next Easter.
Some of you may have already experienced our laid back but professionaly run meetings we commenced at Wakefield Park in August 2005. One of our fundemental conditions of entry for competitors and officials is they must have fun at the meeting. Over agressive drivers and overly officious officials are not welcome.
As race promoters 3 of the 4 members of FOSC Inc are competitors and the 4th, Charlie Jardine, is our Clerk of Course/event director. He has been arround the motor racing scene for atleast the last 30 years and runs a tight, friendly meeting.
We would like to let it be known we are very official friendly and hope to attract additional officials, of all types, to help us make the Bathurst meetings the best overall evnt of its type in Australia. For officials we plan to offer free camping, breakfast and lunch, low cost accomodation for those that dont fancy alfresco living and for Victorians coach transport. Also given there are enough flaggies we will rotate them to rest them and also give a variety of track locations over the weekend. Oh, must not forget to mention our catered, Saturday after race party for all. Families are welcome and we plan to arrange trips for them to experience this wonderful region.
In addition to the race meeting Friday-Sunday we plan to have a hill climb, motorkhana, 4WD event and static display events over the weekend. Also Mecedes-Benz will be running a 4 day corporate event the commencing the monday prior, some officials will be needed for this also. So we will need twice the number of officials we would normaly need at our regular meetings so please give some thought to joining us.
