The 2012 Dimension 1 Oberon Rally has had a make over with three new stages only, one stage, Parallel, stays similar to 2011.
The roads in this new area have a lot less shale and rock so punctures are less of a problem.
We are fortunate to once again have some wonderful sponsors onboard, namely Dimension 1 and aim to provide a challenging, single day event.
We have based this years event from Black Springs Hall, a central rally location, and from there we will start the rally, service and return for a dinner and presentation that afternoon.
Black springs P&C will have catering for the service park throughout the day ,so we all should be well fed. Camping is also available at the service area, showers and toilets will be able to be used in the hall.
The course itself will consist of about 130kms competitive over 8 stages (4 Stages run twice). There are 3 service breaks included at a central service park with a maximum distance of 49kms competitive between services.
We have 3 spectator points in operation for a total of 6 viewings, but the best few spectator points are on road closures, if you can't enter please contact us as we could always use some help filling Officials positions.
The boys (and girls) at the front should be pushing hard as the Pipe King Southern Cross Rally Series heats up for Championship points for 2012, it should be a great event.
Supplementary Regulations should be released within the next 48 hours.

AMSAG Event Licence Requirements
Hi everyone,
I have spoken with Dave Aitchson and clarified the Licence requirement scenario once and for all.
Dave has in writing from AASA that they will accept CAMS Licences for events run under their permits.
This means, for all future events for AMSAG this year, a CAMS licence will be accepted, or if your CAMS licence has expired and you do not want to renew it, or you don't have a CAMS licence, you can purchase a AASA Rally Licence.
The process is simple and easy, i helped a competitor for this weekends Bago rally to get a licence processed in 10mins yesterday. AASA are very helpful, if you have any issues, call them and they will sort it out for you.
For all AMSAG series events, you will need to purchase an AMSAG Membership which can be done via the AMSAG website and will cost you $50.00 for a Competitive Membership. So all up, to run in the AMSAG series this year it will cost you $110 for licence and membership, if you already have a valid CAMS Rally Licence, it will only cost you the $50.00 membership fee, Pretty cheap really.
If any one has any questions, as always feel free to give me a buzz, just try and make it before 6pm if possible, or you can reach me via email and now Twitter (@amsagrally)
With regards to the Seeded Entry List, we should have this out by tonight or tomorrow. Apologies for delays, Dave Aitchson has been working out the seeding and with a few new guys who haven't run in AMSAG before he's been trying to work out where to put them, this coupled with having scruitneering duties has caused a bit of a delay, we'll have them up as soon as we can.
Cheers,
Mick Bannon

AASA and AMSAG form Strategic Partnership
It was formally announced today that AASA (Australian Auto Sport Alliance) and AMSAG (Australian Motor Sport Action Group) has formed a strategic partnership to provide benefits for competitors, members and rally organisers.
Mr David Aitchison, president of AMSAG said today that, “the planning for this has taken many months of negotiation, but makes a lot of sense as both organisations are for the competitors and have three main principles in common - to provide events and regulations that the members and competitors want; to build the sport from the bottom up, rather than from the top down and to provide a safe environment for the competitor to participate.”
Mr Mick Ronke, Managing Director of AASA has commented that, “I am excited with the outcome of the agreement. AMSAG have proven to have the formula that works. A no nonsense approach to providing competitors with what they want. Against all odds, AMSAGhave conducted their Southern Cross Rally Series since 1992 with a growing market share of the amateur rally competitors.”
AMSAG bring all of their event management experience, documentation, scrutineering, clocks and radios etc to the union to ensure the continued growth of rallying at the grass roots level.
As a result of the partnership arrangements, AMSAG will adopt the AASA insurance package from January 2012, which has been found to provide exceptional cover of all aspects of motorsport insurance in Australia.
Organisers who are planning to conduct AASA permitted rally’s during 2012 and wish to be part of The Southern Cross Rally Series or the Rookie Series or who just need assistance in running their own event, should make application to amsagrallyseries@gmail.com or follow the links from the Contact page on the AMSAG website www.amsag.com.au or contact Australia Auto-Sport Alliance Pty. Ltd. on (03) 5766 4235 or email info@aasa.com.au
