November 2011 | TheBulletin 5 CAMS Information BOARD BRIEF BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING (No. 247) Th e CAMS Board convened a meeting via telephone conference on Th ursday, 20 October 2011 at 19:30 (AEDT).

STATE COUNCIL STANDING ORDERS After consultation with the State Councils and an extensive review of the document, the Board approved an updated version of the State Council Standing Orders.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER MAINTENANCE AND MOUNTING Th e Board approved the clarifi cation of requirements for servicing fi re extinguishers as part of the CAMS Manual of Motor Sport, Schedule H: For hand held extinguishers the AS1851 maintenance standard sits alongside AS1841, the standard for the extinguisher itself, and due to the motor sport environment such extinguishers are required to be serviced every three years. FIA homologated systems require servicing every two years; Th e mounting requirements for plumbed-in fi re extinguisher systems, which are FIA homologated, will have the FIA requirements regarding fi tment applied. Th ese changes will be implemented from 1 January 2012.

SCHEDULE J – UPDATED TO REFLECT CAMS BOARD DECISION Th e Board approved amendments to Schedule J resulting from a previous CAMS Board resolution to allow the temporary participation of New Zealand based cars in Australian rallies where those cars comply with MotorSport New Zealand safety cage regulations. Th is previous decision of the CAMS Board allows competitors with New Zealand based cars to compete in Australia for a three month timeframe, CAMS Schedule J has been updated to provide the technical information regarding roll cages.

UNLEADED RACING FUEL CLARIFICATION Th e Board approved clarifi cation of the defi nition of Unleaded Racing Fuel to ensure it could be supplied from a drum, Schedule G section 3.2 will now read: 3.2 Unleaded Racing Fuel: Unleaded racing fuel is defi ned as unleaded petrol produced by an oil company in compliance with the specifi cations detailed in FIA Article 252.9.1 of Appendix J to the current FIA Year Book. Such Unleaded Racing Fuel supplied from a drum is permissible.

CAMS COMMISSION CHAIR APPOINTMENTS 2012 Th e Board approved the following CAMS Commission Chairpersons for 2012: Australian Motor Racing Commission (AMRC) Lyn Punshon Australian Rally Commission (ARCom) Colin Trinder Australian Off Road Commission (AORCom) Marilyn Emmins Australian Sport and Club Development Commission (ASCDC) Neil Turner Australian Historic Motor Sport Commission (AHMSC) Robert Cracknell Australian Offi cials Commission (AOC) Phillip Livingstone

CORPORATE SERVICES REPORT Th e Board reviewed the fi nancial reports for Quarter Th ree, 2011.

WOMEN IN AUSTRALIAN MOTOR SPORT COMMITTEE – TERMS OF REFERENCE Th e Board noted the Terms of Reference for the Women in Motor Sport Committee (WAMS). Th e Committee, which reports to the CEO, will also have strong ties to the Sport and Club Development Commission and is charged with ensuring the ongoing and success ful support of women in motor sport.

SCHEDULE B – BONNET RESTRAINTS Th e Board noted the recommendation of the Australian Sport & Club Development Commission that within Schedule B for road registered cars, a standard two stage fastener would be appropriate in speed events such as supersprints and hillclimbs and the regulations have been updated to provide clarifi cation. It is common practice for many competitors in speed events to fi t a retention device under the bonnet, this type of fastening will be specifi cally provided for and may be used in speed events for non-road registered vehicles instead of the requirements for race meetings. Th ese changes and clarifi cations are designed to encourage participation in these predominantly club level events and will be implemented in the 2012 CAMS Manual of Motor Sport.

REPORTS Th e Board noted reports from Commissioner Tim Schenken on the FIA Touring Car Commission Meeting held on 29 AUGUST 2011 and the FIA Circuits Commission Meeting held on 30 AUGUST 2011. 6 TheBulletin November 2011 Club Permit Information

Dave Stewart has volunteered as part of Movember which usually involves growing a moustache to have his moustache and beard that have adorned his face since 1978 (33) and 1994 (17) respectively shaved off at the Movember Clubnight. All we have to do is raise $200 towards the Movember campaign which is all about men’s health. If you want this to happen please bring along your donation on Friday night or get it to Rod Hall prior to Friday night. Given the time that Dave has had these 2 growths on his face it’s a significant offer he has made and we should all applaud him for it but also dig into our pockets to make sure it happens. The moustache is probably been there longer than some of us have been alive.

November 5th & 6th was the sixth running of Coghlan’s Carnival. 24 BLCC competitors fought it out over three diff er- ent events for outright places and class wins. By all accounts, they had a very busy but enjoyable weekend of racing while again celebrating Phil Coghlan’s birthday. During the (wet) days leading up to the event, Khanacross tests were the most diffi cult to set up. Th anks to Ben Davis for his assistance in plotting the courses.

Australian Offi cials Commission Update – Fabulous Offi cials Th e Australian Offi cials Commission is keen to recognise Fabulous Offi cials and the work they do to keep our sport alive. Th e AOC, with the help of our State Offi ciating Panels, has begun recognising our Fabulous Offi cials through a unique certifi cate of recognition and letter of thanks to those who have been nominated by their peers. A Fabulous Offi cial may be any offi cial who has provided a valuable contribution to the sport, in any role, from club motorkhanas to national rallies – if you think they deserve recognition, then nominate that Fabulous Offi cial to be recognised! If you know someone who you think deserves to be recognised for their contribution, get in touch with your State Offi ciating Panel (you can do this through your State Offi ce) and let them know that you want to nominate someone for the AOC’s Fabulous Offi cials programme. Th e AOC has already heard some great feedback from those who have received certifi cates thus far – a little bit of recognition can go a long way!
