The event will be held at the ASMK Complex at Ta' Qali and starts at 6pm. Admission to this event is free. Meanwhile, during this past weekend the Association was very busy. On Saturday 23 June 2018 ASMK organised the eleventh race of the National ASMK Pasta Poiatti 2017/2018 Championship. For this event 15 competitors were registered and these are the results. In the Modified Autocross Class A Final Karl Micallef driving his Ford Fiesta, won this race final, followed by Noel Zammit on his Fiat Punto while third place finisher was Jean Paul Grech on a Peugeot 106. Fourth and fifth places were won by Vince Farrugia on a Volkswagen Polo and the Opel Corsa of Melo Zammit. All competitors ran this final close together all the way. The Modified Autocross Class B race Final was won by Ryan Scicluna on his Ford Fies- ta. Ryan was followed by Rich- ard Spiteri on Opel Nova, who finished in second place. Third place finisher was Brandon Lee Vassallo on his Peugeot 205 whilst fourth place was won by Keith Borg on his Vauxhall Nova. From the Autocross Standard Class, Jeremy saw Peplow drive his Kia Avella to victory. Pep- low won and dominated this final while he was followed by Chris Formosa on a Ford Fi- esta. Meanwhile, on Sunday 24th June 2018, the Association crossed the channel where in the quarry named tal-Ghan- sar in San Lawrence Gozo, ASMK organised the last race of the National WotoMoto 2017/2018 Enduro Champion- ship. 15 Enduro competitors divided into three classes chal- lenged the rough terrain Endu- ro track in beautiful Gozo. Class A rider, Bernard Sam- mut, riding on a Beta motor- cycle, dominated this class and also registered the fastest time of the day: that of 2 minutes 55.677 seconds on the 1.5 km- long course. Bernard was fol- lowed by Matthew Gauci, also on a Beta, who registered his best time of 3 minutes 4.186 seconds. Third place rider Jo- seph Scicluna, on his KTM mo- torcycle, covered the Enduro track with his best time of 3 minutes 6.942 seconds. In Class B Gozo, rider John Attard riding on a KTM mo- torcycle won this class with his best lap time of 3 minutes 26.804 seconds and he was fol- lowed by Gabriel Muscat also on a KTM motorcycle with his best time of 3 minutes 28.860 seconds. Third place finisher James Grima on a KTM mo- torcycle lapped the course in 3 minutes 37.975 seconds. Class C was won by Kurt Mus- cat on a Yamaha with his best lap time of 5 minutes 40.841 seconds. It is important to note that all competitors timings are recorded by MyLaps Electronic Timing System from Start to Finish. Meanwhile the Disciplinary Board of the Association re- ferred to the Autocross Stand- ard Class case that happened during the last final race held on 9th June. The board of the Association suspended Deane Farrugia, a competitor on a Citroen AX, from participating in any activity until further no- tice. This decision was taken, following inappropriate behav- iour by Farrugia both after the incident and after leaving the track. Meanwhile, in connec- tion with the same incident the board also suspended Robert Giordmaina from participat- ing in race events for the rest of this season.
