Ashton’s President’s Prattle for September, 2023
September, who’d have thought it. And I gather spring has arrived, in NSW at least, which is encouraging, after another rather dull winter. Good excuse to get the car out of hibernation (and yourself for that matter).
Huge thanks are due to Craig and Cathy Shephard and all the motorsport committee for putting on round 4 of the CSCA sprints, and thank you to all the volunteers who kindly made the day happen for the competitors. And for those able to make the Shannons Classic, thank you for doing so to represent the club.
