A bit of a mixed bag this month as we wind down to the final major event of the year – Speed Weekend. Lots of new information for the upcoming year with the draft calendar now out and a reminder to those interested in the history vehicles of our sport that the tribute to the Targa Florio is coming up from the 29th November to the 3rd December. Moves are now underway to have the Bathurst Light Car Club undertake officials training courses in conjunction with CAMS in the Club’s rooms on Conrod Straight with more details to come in the next Edition. Remember it is still not too late to become eligible for the weekend away for two people on the coast, you just have to be registered as a volunteer at a Club event in 2017 as an official to go in the draw for your chance to win. The winner will be announced at the Club Presentation Night and Christmas Party on the 9th December and tickets for the best Christmas Party in town go on sale this month. Next month will feature the October Khanacross which we ran out of time to include here but plenty of pics and good results for our juniors.

  • Blower February 2020
    The BLOWER JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2020 3rd place overall in the Motorsport Australia (CAMS) Australian Targa Championship TSD Trophy class. Not bad for 16yrs of age. BATHURST LIGHT CAR CLUB 416 CONROD STRAIGHT MT PANORAMA PO BOX 444 BATHURST www.blcc.com.au FROM THE EDITOR Welcome to my fourty first edition of the Blower, the Club magazine of the Bathurst Light Car Club. Well the year has certainly started with a bang after the usual slow January. A new group of members have taken up the challenge on our management team and a full program of events lies ahead of us for 2020, just check out the calendar. In this edition, we review the minutes of the last few general meetings and of course the AGM, and we look forward to our first tarmac events, rounds 1 and 2 of the NSW Hill Climb Championships. Neville Ling has scored some silverware for his immaculate LC GTR Torana and some of our Khanacross stars have done the same at the first round of the NSW Khanacross Championships with more on that story next time. The wrap from Many Hands Motorsport wrap up of the 2019 season from Steve Brumby not only gave us our cover pic, but some great insight into how the team achieved so much in a very busy year. No wonder our Club awarded them Rally Driver and Navigator Trophy’s, well done to both Steve and Heather. Bathurst Light Car Club thrives on competition, but we cannot conduct competitions unless our members contribute their time and their effort to help organise and run events.
