A5 CPP Holden Owner's ad.indd 1 30/08/12 12:50 PM Muscle on the Mountain - Maleny Sunday 6th July 2014

We were greeted by a cold winters morning to make our way to Maleny for the Muscle on the Mountain Show & Shine in support of Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.

We departed from the Shell Nudgee in the early hours to make our way up & the convoy picked up more members along the way. We took a leisurely drive up the highway to Landsborough then up the mountain to Maleny. The entry was hassle free, but over 35 cars entering one place at one time can always pose a challenge!

There was an amazing array of different vehicles on display - something for everyone’s taste! This is a growing event with around 200 cars in 2012 & now more than double that in 2014!

The club was lucky enough to win the “Best Club Display” trophy amongst some very large clubs with high quality cars. It proves the fact that the HSVOC have some of the best quality show cars & most dedicated members of nearly any other car club around! A great effort by all!!!

Sharyn Mazzer was also delighted to receive a birthday cake which was presented to her (most surprisingly) early after we arrived - so it was mud cake for all for breakfast.

I would like to thank everyone who attended and we have indicated to the organisers that we would love to try & make it again next year.

34 HSV Owners Club of Qld. Inc. Magazine August 2014 HSV Owners Club of Qld. Inc. Magazine August 2014 35 Dyno Day at Walkinshaw Performance Saturday 5th July 2014

This year was another great success, we had a cold start to the day with perfect blue skies, it was looking to be a very enjoyable day. To help us warm up we even had Nathan with his coffee van this year. It was great to see so many spectators this year, the results on the dyno keep everyone guessing and sometimes in disbelief.

The guys from Walkinshaw did a great job this year having a big screen TV to broad- cast the runs on the dyno, and having everything set up in such a way we could just keep running car after car, this was all topped off by putting on a sausage sizzle. A big thanks goes out to Andrew and Tod for cooking us all lunch. We had trophy presentation after lunch for the highest kw for each class as well as the prize for guessing your own kw.

Class 1 Super Class Craig Barrass Gen F GTS 485kw 650.8hp Class 2 Supercharged Stock Steve Shaw E3 GTS 369kw 494.6hp Class 3 Modified Class Jason Formenko VE Maloo 345.6kw 463.2hp Class 4a Un-Opened Class Wayne Herberg VE 2 GXP 347.3kw 465.5hp Class 5a Tuned Stock Class Sharyn Mazzer Gen F Maloo 288.4kw 386.5hp Class 6 Stock Class Les Gray VL SV88 133.3kw 178.6hp Class 6a Stock Class Ross Di Francesco Gen F Clubsport 289.6kw 388.2hp

The guess your own KW prize went to Bob Matsen - he guessed 335kw and his car ran 337.2kw. Not bad at all!!

Thanks again for all those who supported the day, it’s great to see so many Club Members and New Members coming along. This year has drawn the end for Shaun from Walkinshaw - he is mowing on to a new adventure and I am sure we all wish Shaun all the very best in the future. We haven’t lost out though we still have some talented guys at Walkinshaw and Thanks again to Mark, Mitch, Damo and Ian.

Name: Tony Stretton Partner: Nicky 2014 HSV VF GTS Name: Peter Hall White Partner: Andrea 2008 HSV VE Clubsport Photo Courtesy of Australian Street Car Magazine Name: Brendan Wilson Black Partner: Amelia The sudden and tragic death of one of our Fellow Club Members Brad Lane 2011 HSV Clubsport R8 has taken the Car Club Community by surprise and has really underlined SV Black Edition - White the importance of safety when we are working on our pride and joy’s.

The HSV Owners Club Qld is asking for your support to help raise money for several of Brad’s Nominated Charities and to say Farewell to Brad.

The show is being held at the Rocklea Showgrounds and the cost of entry for the day is $25 per car (Inc one Passenger). We will be meeting at Pegg Rd (just off Goburra st) so we can get into model order, sort out entry and payment. To help things run smoother, we will meet at 7.30am so we are ready to enter the Showgrounds at 8.30am. Our Club Display needs 50 Cars Minimum & because Brad owned a HDT it would only be fitting that we have a good support of HDTs on the day.

So we can organise the display please advise Craig Barrass on 0411 344 517.
