24.01.2022 The TMCC is in need of Flaggies and Marshals for our Race meeting on 22nd April at Symmons Plains. We also need help on Saturday 21st April for the Ride day. Well give you lunch, drinks, the best seat at the track to see the racing, and a FREE Ride day voucher. If youre a racer who isnt racing, how about giving us a hand so that others can race. If we dont get enough officials, we cant run the meeting.... Youll need to be at the track by 8.15 am for an officials briefing. If youd like to be involved or want more info, please contact us

24.01.2022 Heres the official poster for the MRA Toy Run!!!! Please share with your friends, to either get your bikes ready, or prepare to watch from the highway and donate toys or non-perishable food items LETS GET IT OUT THERE!!

22.01.2022 Just a reminder for people attending the Ride day Saturday, to help us in regard to COVID-19 management can you please bring your own pen so they dont need to be shared. Remember to maintain 1.5m distance from others and payment by card would be appreciated to minimise cash handling https://www.facebook.com/events/2555203298139297/

22.01.2022 2018 TMCC AGM The TMCCs 2018 AGM is Thursday 10th May 7pm at the Jailhouse Grill in Wellington Street Launceston. The AGM and monthly meeting have been pushed back a week to avoid clashing with Agfest. It is important that as many members as possible attend the meeting as all office bearers will be elected and decisions made affecting the rules and regulations around racing at club level. Its no good whinging that you didnt agree with some decision that the committee made ...if you werent there to argue your case and vote. A club is only as strong as its members, so come along and ensure the clubs future. Be there to cast your vote for the committee you want to run the club for the next 12 months.

21.01.2022 As has been previously mentioned, on race days bikes will be scrutineered according to the CGRs. Particular attention will be paid to engine case protection and fluid retention.

08.01.2022 28th of JUNE RIDE DAY UPDATE. For those that have seen the Premiers announcement around the easing of restrictions and were wondering how that might impact the Ride Day. Unfortunately its not as simple as just the state government restrictions, there are also issues around permits and insurance. Also due to TMCC not owning our own track as a lot of the dirt clubs do. ... We are monitoring the situation and will advise if there is any change, but at this stage the Ride Day on the 28th of June WILL NOT be going ahead.

06.01.2022 Dear TMCC Member Over the last week your committee has been closely following the unfolding events surrounding the COVID-19 Pandemic. We have also been keenly observing the recommendations and best advice around social distancing and the guidelines around the conduct of non-essential meetings and gatherings. While it may be technically possible to run a meeting and be just inside the current requirements, would this be a sensible or responsible thing to do? Primarily from a h...ealth and safety perspective but also considering the fiscal perspective of running a meeting if no one were to choose to attend. From the rapidity of change over the last week a decision made today would in all likelihood be outdated tomorrow. The restrictions and guidelines are only heading in one direction, that being more restrictive, on Sunday the 22nd of March the Prime Minister stated that the government is expecting this pandemic to last, at the very least, six months. As such, committee announces with regret and a deep sense of disappointment, that the TMCC will immediately suspend ride day and race meetings until further notice. We appreciate this is a difficult decision but we genuinely have the best interests of our riders, racers, volunteers and the community, at the forefront of our minds in taking this action. As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds over the coming months the committee will continue to follow the situation and will reassess month by month when an appropriate time to recommence meetings has arrived. Sincerely Cary McMahon On behalf of the Committee

06.01.2022 If anyone picked up a bag of signboard numbers in pit lane yesterday can you contact myself , Mal or Scott Campbell thanks.

05.01.2022 As a result of an incident at Round 2 at Symmons Plains on 2nd September that caused the race meeting to be cancelled, the TMCC Committee has resolved to enforce the General Competition Rules (GCRs) in relation to competition motorcycles. Motorcycles presented to scrutineering that do not comply with the GCRs will not be allowed to race until they do comply. It is the responsibility of the rider or team manager to ensure compliance with the rules. Some information on w...hat you should do before entering a race meeting can be found here: https://www.ma.org.au/getting-started/the-race-meeting/ The (GCRs) can be found here: https://www.ma.org.au/licences//general-competition-rules/ If you have any queries in relation to compliance with the GCRs, please post any queries here or contact the race secretary.

03.01.2022 A notice to all motor sport Clubs, Competitors and Promotors, Just a reminder that MST have a total ban on coloured tyres at both Symmons Plains and Baskerville... Raceways. As it has been brought to our attention again that there has been a large quantity of coloured tyres that have been sold in Tasmania over the past few months primarily for the use of doing burnouts and power slides and are being used illegally on some suburb streets. There are concerns not only for the damage and unsightly mess they leave, but also for safety concerns of our two-wheel motorcycling competitors that also use our circuits, as they also leave a dangerous slippery surface. Due to these concerns Motorsports Tasmania, has issued a blanket ban of these type of tyres to be used at either Symmons Plains or Baskerville Raceways. We thank all our users for respecting the properties and for the safety of all that use them. Regards, Donald Potter General Manager Motorsports Tasmania
