Hams getting ready for more smoking rubber

Next weekend, some Townsville Radio Amateurs will be helping out with time control and safety communications for Queensland's Mount Stuart Tarmac Rally Sprint and getting their fix of the smell of burning rubber and the sound of revving engines.

However the operators had to do some homework first and on Saturday 30th May attended the event briefing held at the Mt Stuart Road Start Line at 1pm.

Here they were fully briefed on their expected roles and the intricacies behind the organisation of this major auto sports event.

Now the operators are bursting at the bit to go and be useful whilst playing with radios in the field with auto racing!
