MGA and MGB: Aussie Doctor and the World's Fastest ‘Super Bee’
MGA and MGB: Aussie doctor and the world's fastest ‘Super Bee’ 27 September 2018 By MarkOastler Doctor Iain Corness and the ‘Super Bee’ were a potent combination, reaching the peak of their performance in 1971. Here they’re in full flight at Sydney’s Warwick Farm in 1970. Love the decal on the windshield, which reads 'The Civilised Sports Car' - it was anything but civilised by the time Corness had finished with it! The MGA and MGB were the ultimate in MG sports cars during the halcyon days of Australian production sports car racing (ProdSports) in the 1950s and 1960s. In fact, at one stage it was claimed that a locally-developed MGB was the fastest Prodsports MGB in the world. That bold statement, by none other than parent company British Leyland, was in 1971 when Queensland doctor Iain Corness and his hand-built ‘Super Bee’ were part of the company’s factory-backed racing team called the British Leyland Young Lions. In reality, Leyland’s claim would have been difficult to authenticate, given that Australia was little more than an international backwater at the time and MGBs were competing successfully in other much larger markets including the UK and USA. Even so, by 1971 the Super Bee was more highly developed than even factory-backed MGBs competing in the UK, given that it was equipped with a unique locally developed DOHC engine. And after several seasons it was continuing to set new lap records, with one remaining unbeaten for eight years. On some tracks it was recording similar times to the top V8 Mustang touring cars of its day. -

Bob Jane/T-Marts Nitrogen Test
Bob Jane Study (Australia) Bob Jane T-Marts is very pleased to prove absolutely that using nitrogen reduces fuel consumption depending on which tyre and which car. The following information is a preliminary report on the testing of tyres for roll resistance including the differences in tyre pressures and the use of atmosphere versus nitrogen. We have also used additives for both oil and fuel and measured the effect of different energy / green tyres versus normal tyres. Over the last 6 months we have been developing a three car test unit, later to be extended to four or five including 4 x 4 vehicles, to test various scenarios and we will consider a national tour of Australia with these cars to promote Bob Jane T-Marts Roll Resistance and Fuel Economy in early 2007. Before we go into our test results, let's understand that the car manufacturers world wide together with the tyre manufacturers and motoring organizations such as AAA, RACV and VACC have all reported for decades that the lack of attention to tyres results in 70% of all cars having less than the recommended manufacturers tyre pressure on their vehicles. We start with atmosphere or air that gets pumped into the tyres, the air leaks from the tyre over 2 -3 months and without proper re inflation and therefore runs at pressures that are 5-8% under the recommended pressure, with that type of scenario and the lack of care in cars, we end up with between 3-8% higher fuel consumption. With the lower tyre pressures and dangerous handling of the car, coupled with the rapid wear and tear of the tyre. -

The HSRCA Newsletter No19
The HSRCA 1960s Racing Cars Groups M & O Newsletter No19 July 2012 Ed Holly HSRCA Registrar [email protected] The views expressed in this newsletter are not necessarily those of the Historic Sports and Racing Car Association, the HSRCA, nor that of the editor. The newsletter exists for the benefit of all those who have an interest in the 1960s racing cars, and especially the owners and drivers of these wonderful machines. Welcome to the Winter edition of our newsletter. As you can see our Groups now have a logo – a badge that we can proudly wear on our cars. The design was commissioned with Michael Menzies of Audacitycreative with the brief to produce something that emphasizes our Group designation of M and O, and shows a typical car from the 1960s period, which was very early on was dominated by the rear engine car. Michael did the 2006 Tasman Revival website for us. If you look closely at the car shown, it has a bit of all the major Marques of that period, Lotus, Brabham, etc, and yet you can see a bit of the home grown cars too, like Elfin and Rennmax and then again maybe even the Neal Ford Mk2 or Delta. One hopes that it will in time adorn every eligible M and O logbooked car and maybe a few within the 1960s timeframe cars that compete here from overseas too at the Tasman Revival. A quantity of these will be printed by the kind offer of Bruce Mansell and will be at Wakefield Park in September. -

ISBN 0 7337 8145 4 HB 192—2007 ii Preface This Guide was prepared by the Standards Australia Working Group OB-007-08, Risk Management in Motor Sport operating under and with guidance from Committee OB-007, Risk Management. The organisations involved were: Australian Auto Sport Alliance Australian Grand Prix Corporation Australian Karting Association Australian National Drag Racing Association Bathurst Regional Council Broadleaf Capital International Calder Park Motor Sport Confederation of Australian Motor Sport Golden Era Auto Racing Hones & Associates Motorcycling Australia National Association of Speedway Racing Queensland Raceway South Australia Motor Sport Board Troutbeck & Associates Winton Motor Raceway Objectives The purpose of this Guide is to: • change behaviour and attitude toward risk management; • increase knowledge of risk in motor sport; and • explain the language of risk management. The motivation for developing this Guide stems from a simple idea — the attitudes and behaviours of motor sport participants will change when: • participants recognise that their behaviour may impact on another's safety; • it is understood that risk management is what everyone does when making any decision in life; and • it is realised that by adopting risk management practice they make better decisions about their behaviour hence motor sport becomes safer for everyone. -
1975 Dekon Monza
1975 DeKon Monza Chassis 1005 History DeKon Monza Chassis 1005 was finished in June 1975. However, the story of DeKon 1005 begins a decade before the car was built. The story of this, and all the DeKon Monza’s, is the story of the intertwined lives of Allan Moffat, Lee Dykstra, and Horst Kwech. Allan Moffat was born on November 10. 1939. Moffat was born in Canada, but his family moved to South Africa. Moffat was educated in Johannesburg. In 1960, the Moffat family moved to Australia. Australia suited Moffat well, and he remains there in Melbourne. Moffat attempted develop a career in auto racing in Australia. By 1964, he believed his career would be best served by spending some time in the United States. “So he went to North America and began associating himself with racing teams and future sponsors …” Peter Ford, “Moffat! From the Beginning”, Chequered Flag, December 1970. Horst Kwech was born in Gosford, Australia in 1938. In 1963, Kwech moved to the Chicago, Illinois in the United States. Like Moffat, Kwech moved to the U.S. to pursue a career in auto racing. Both drivers achieved some success in the U.S.. However, it was in the SCCA Trans American Sedan Championship that they showed surprising form. On March 25, 1966, Kwech finished fifth overall the first ever Trans Am race. Kwech achieved this result despite driving in the under two-liter class in an Alfa Romeo GTA. In the next Trans Am race, Kwech finished second overall and first in class. The third Trans Am race was the Bryar 250 on July 8, 1966.
