Media Release – AMCA Nationals Victoria
That’s a Wrap………….
Well that is another season run and won for AMCA Nationals Victoria with the Presentation Celebrations held at the Sunbury Social Club on Saturday night.
An awesome turn out showed up to celebrate the years winners and have a couple of drinks, a good meal and a lot of story telling I am pretty sure!
It was unfortunate that a couple of people were not able to make it, one guy in particular that I can not thank enough for the assistance he has given me this past season. It was a shame that he was not able to be with us Saturday night so he could receive the accolades he so deserves for the effort and commitment that he has put into AMCA Nationals Victoria for so long now, so as a result I will just have to embarrass him on here!
Grant Cullinger has been a driving force and good friend to me through this period since taking on the Victorian Rep role a couple years ago, and while I get a lot of pats on the back, he deserves just as much and as such has been awarded the States Rep Award as a small sign of our appreciation for the great man and since he won’t hear our applauds, please feel free to share your congratulations below.
Well done to all that picked up something on the night, the full list of winners can be found below. Thank you to those who helped me on the night with handing out the trophies, Paul Howard, Michael Reidy and Peter Walters who also helped make our raffles worth having a ticket in, massive effort mate thanks.
That is us done now until our first night for the new race season on the 7th October at Avalon Raceway, so time to get those cars pulled down and get that maintenance done and back together so we can go racing again in a few months!!
