Please re-consider this event it will be all lot of fun. Lets face Sprite members in our Club do enjoy a good time, that is a fact. I really want to call on all our members who have not indicated or who are contemplating involvement , to attend this event, as I know you will enjoy it and take away some great memories from it. This event caters for those who wish race track time, those who wish to drive socially ( that is us) and those who don’t even own a Sprite. The mere fact you are a Sprite devotee you will enjoy meeting other Sprite devotees from WA,VIC,QLD, and NSW. See their cars, share their passion, and make new friends. This is what all single make car clubs aspire to.

What better place to do it that at Wangaratta, nearby is the Winton Raceway and Wangaratta is the gateway to so many wonderul touring Sprite roads,places of historic and scenic interest, many local producers of wine, cheese,olives and chocolate.

Good accommodation has been secured at extremely good rates and the tariff for this event reflects this, plus evening meals, lunches,a farewell breakfast and of course entertainment.

For more info you can ring me on 83812093 or email me at dslow@tpg.com.au or contact the Victorian Sprite Drivers Club at tmcorbin@bigpond.com mob 0414988641 or gcorbin@bigpond.net.au

Entries are again open for this event on Sunday 29th April

Previous entrants will get a postal entry form – but it can be downloaded at http://www.vintageandclassic.com.au

The day starts with an early morning gathering at Serafino’s [McLaren's on the Lake], and then a parade down the main street of McLaren Vale at 11 am.  Thousands of people line the street to get a close view of the incredible range of vehicles driving past; cars, vans, and motorbikes with a flyover by vintage Biplanes.  Drivers then head out to participating wineries to display their vehicles for the afternoon, picnicking etc.

The Sprite Club of SA usually gets a dozen or so cars involved – join us again this year.  It’s a pretty good gathering of old cars and a good little get together for the Club.

15th January - Breakfast in Hahndorf early Sunday morning and then out to dodge the peleton as they gear up for Tour Down Under.  Two casualties, one with a dodgy gearbox, and another with an electrical gremlin.  What was that about Lucas, Prince of Darkness?
