SAMROA

SAMROA is the well known short form of the South Australian Motor Racing Officials Association. SAMROA was formed in 1978 after difficulties were experienced in attracting a stable team of officials for race meetings at Adelaide International Raceway. Since this time SAMROA has developed into a group of competent officials who are well respected in the motor sport community. SAMROA now provides officials for events ranging from club level at Mallala Motor Sport Park to higher profile events such as the Clipsal 500 and the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix.

SAMROA is a volunteer organisation and its members donate their time for the benefit of motor sport.

SAMROA is affiliated with Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) which is the peak sanctioning body for motor sport in Australia. CAMS has instituted a National Officiating Program which provides a licencing system and training program to ensure that all officials are properly prepared for the tasks required of them. This program also ensures consistency of officials across the country which is not only beneficial to competitors but enables officials to travel interstate and easily fit into the organisation at other circuits.
