2019 January Historic Torque The Official Journal of the Historic Racing Car Club (Queensland) Inc. May, 2019 AUTUMN HISTORIC WARWICK Image by Ian Welsh Rain, sunshine and lap records Rain did not dampen the enthusiasm of the 155 entrants who made their way to Warwick’s Morgan Park Raceway to kick start the Queensland historic racing season. Warwick district, like the rest of the Darling Downs area, being in the grips of a severe drought so there were no complaints about the patchy rain that fell for qualifying and the ini�al racing on Saturday. By Saturday a�ernoon the sun broke through and remained for the rest of the Image by Ian Welsh race mee�ng which made for some great historic racing and rese�ng of lap records around the 3km circuit. Perhaps the highlight of the mee�ng was the first visit to Morgan Park by the famous Anse� Elfin MS7, well-driven by Tom Tweedie to a new lap record for Group Q Sports Cars (1970-1977) of 1min:15.346sec, slashing the previous record by a staggering 3.6 seconds. Anthony Paynter brought his Stag Formula Vee from Western Sydney and twice lowered the lap Record for Group Va (‘65-‘74), carving 4 seconds off and leaving it at 1:34.600, and winning his Class in all 4 races. Nigel Jones, Image by Ian Welsh also from Sydney, reduced the Group Vb (‘75-‘85) record by 0.9 second to 1:34.361, taking three of the four Class victories. In Group N Historic Touring Cars, the Nb (pre-‘65) up to 1300cc record was lowered by Ipswich driver, Adam Duce, who has been a regular winner in his Sports Sedans and was delighted with his first outright win in Nb. The Nc (1965-’72) 3500-5000cc record fell to Graeme Wakefield’s new 1967 Mustang on its debut, so we’ll expect to see more good things from Graeme this year. Coming Events In a very busy weekend of racing, regularity trials and supersprints, an Historic Winton May 18 - 19 enthusias�c crowd saw 44 on-track events in total, with very few minor Noosa Hillclimb Winter June 8 - 9 incidents despite lots of fast, �ght racing.

Much of the Inside this Issue meeting is covered elsewhere here so I won’t delve into the details. However, I was fortunate in that I attended the Mallala All Historic race Coming Events Page 3 meeting the weekend prior to Autumn Historic Warwick and can say they were both very enjoyable weekends of historic racing. Why so enjoyable? Race Group News Page 4 - 5 Simple answer is people. Both meetings were very friendly low hassle Autumn Historic Warwick Page 6 - 8 events. Plenty of smiling and chatty people competing, officials going about their duties in a positive and friendly way. So many volunteers Committee Report Page 9 making it possible for others to race. But then it is just like the people who have taken time to share their stories with us here.

Much work has taken place to ensure the timing system, which gave major problems at the last hillclimb, is fully functional and delivers the expected performance. After discussion with the supplier of the equipment and communications technicians a number of improvements have been listed to be upgraded. Many of the improvements are in relation to mounting and alignment of the timing sensors and similarly for the timing communications aerial at the top of the hill. Data from the sensors at the top of the hill is sent wirelessly to the computer stationed at the start line and it is essential that these communication aerials are aligned properly. Fabrication and installation of the components needed has taken place already and testing of the system with cars will take place shortly. A technician from the equipment supplier will be present at the hillclimb to oversee the timing system. Competitor entry is by the CAMS MEE system and Supplementary Regulations are available on the Noosa Hillclimb – Winter web page on the HRCC website. https://www.hrcc.org.au/winter%20noosa.htm Competitor entry closes on Wednesday, May 20, 2019 Image by Ian Welsh 3 Website: www.hrcc.org.au Race Group News and Reports Group F - FormulaFordThanks to Group Leader, Geoff Karger for this report.
