Vehicle must be inspected by the Club Registrar at least once each year

(RMS pink slip is acceptable).

Minimum insurance cover of Third Party Property Damage. Full Comprehensive is recommended,

proof of cover must be provided to Registrar prior to initial registration or renewal.

RMS has introduced a 2-year Trial program to test the viability of a new category of participation.

The new program will permit the use of approved vehicles for personal purposes for 60 days in the year,

in addition to attendances at authorised Club Outings.

Owners will be required to maintain a Log Book showing the date, time and departure location for each

day that the vehicle is used. (Failure to maintain an accurate and up-to-date daily record could mean

severe consequences for the member and our club!)

Eligibility of your vehicle(s) may be reconsidered if the following vehicle attendances are not met :- One Vehicle – Must attend three Club events each year. Two Vehicles – One vehicle must attend one Club event & the other vehicle two Club events each year. Three or more Vehicles – Each vehicle must attend one Club event each year.

Any variation from these rules, for acceptable legitimate reasons, will require prior Club approval.

Non- compliance can result in registration being cancelled. The Club cannot afford the risk of the system being abused and the subsequent loss of the benefits of these worthwhile concessions for other Club members.

Picture 3: Look Ma. No teeth!.

Who is the club member attending Lakeside in 1965 ?

He is repairing his diff after an unauthorised run around the track before the daily events began that

ended badly when he stripped some teeth off his gearbox. He then changed the gearbox with the car

sitting on 3 bricks under each wheel. His mates looked on but no helpers. He drove home later in the

day. Note the lowered car. Jeff Johnson
