SSTTAARRTT YYOOUURR EENNGIGINNEESS!! START YOUR ENGINES! Welcome to VSCC Mallory Park 2020. Forgive me while I savour those few simple words, as they are of deep significance to me and the Club. This will be our first competitive event at a circuit since the Pomeroy Trophy in February, the intervening months having witnessed the cancellation of no less than eight race and speed meetings due to the virus. So, a red letter day in every sense. And what a venue to mark our first tentative steps towards normality. Mallory holds a special place in the Club’s hearts, popular with competitors and spectators alike, in the parlance often heard around the scene, “one of our type of circuits”. Compact and challenging, with great viewing opportunities, it has borne witness to some of our most memorable race meetings and personal battles. This year promises a typically mouth-watering programme. I am particularly delighted to welcome the Frazer Nash gang in force. Always among our most committed of racers, more than most they have suffered chronic withdrawal symptoms throughout 2020, I know just how much it means to them to be able to come out and play, particularly here at Mallory. Another of our traditionally busy grids, the ODM Set 3 Standard and Modified Sports Cars, have also been champing at the bit, and will be turning up in good numbers in a variety of machinery that reflect the cars that many members regularly use. Those decade-old rivals, the MGs and Austin 7s, will be going head to head in a battle to decide the best small car driven in a spirited manner, whilst we extend a warm welcome to the Formula Junior crew as an invited grid. They can always be relied on to provide great entertainment and a sharp contrast to other cars in the paddock. It only remains for me to welcome back all competitors and thank them for supporting the event. Hopefully the time is not far away when racing is once more a regular part of our lives and we do not have to celebrate being able to enjoy such a simple pleasure. I wish everyone a great day. Paul Tunnicliffe VSCC President 3. SSTTAARRTT YYOOUURR EENNGIGINNEESS!! It is unusual for a programme to carry a welcome from both the President and the Club Secretary but 2020 has been anything but a normal year. We return to Mallory Park after a short absence for our only race meeting of the year, held here on one of the UK’s shortest permanent race circuits but one that has produced some mesmerising races over the year. Simon Arron writes later in the programme about the epic battle between Rob Carr and Justin Maaers, it was one of the most exciting races I had seen. Mallory has been the home of many brilliant battles between drivers, so you are bound to see some great track action today. The theme of the weekend is the various familial rivalries on track, often in the same races, culminating in three generations of one family taking part in the Nash Race as Andy, Dougal and Wilf Cawley duel it out. Dougal’s commitment to investing in youth is further seen in the initiative by Longstone Tyres which has seen them sponsor an additional race for any Under 30 taking part today. This is a wonderfully generous offer from Longstone. There is a long list of people to thank for making this event possible. The officials, marshals and other volunteers who all help and support the Club Staff are often unsung heroes and I cannot sing their praises enough, come rain or shine, snow or sun, they help put on a meeting. In light of the current pandemic, their support is even more appreciated as is that of the competitors who have turned out in their numbers to support this event. Throughout the year we are also grateful for the backing of our sponsors and Principal Associates. I hope that having experienced the sights and smells of our peculiar world, you will all go home with a smile on your face, I know I will. Tania Brown VSCC Club Secretary 4. CCIIRRCCUUIITT MMAAPP 5.

At the 1976 BBC Radio 1 Fun Day one of the biggest crowds Mallory Park has ever seen (reputedly in excess of 60,000), a band had to resort to going onto a speedboat on the lake to escape the keen fans, which also stopping the racing, a number of female fans then started swimming in the lake, so the band had to be rescued in a helicopter. Name the then popular band who this happened too? ANSWERS ON PAGE 9 7. QQ&A&A -- DODOUUGGAALL CCAAWWLLEEYY For what we believe is the first time we are delighted to welcome three generations of the same family competing in the same race at one of our race meetings, an honour that falls upon the Cawley family as Dougal, Andy and Wilf vie to take the Race For Frazer Nash/GN Cars Tell us about yourselves and how you all became involved in vintage racing - were you inspired by anyone in particular? My Dad, Andy Cawley, and Uncle Chris Hudson have been members of the VSCC forever.

  • Orange Times Issue 2
    The Orange Times Bruce McLaren Trust June / July 2014, Issue #2 Farewell Sir Jack 1926 - 2014 Along with the motorsport fraternity worldwide I was extremely saddened to th hear of Sir Jack’s recent passing on the 19 May. The McLaren family and Jack have shared a wonderful life-long friendship, starting with watching his early racing days in New Zealand, then Pop McLaren purchasing the Bobtail Cooper from Jack after the NZ summer racing season of 1957. For the following season of 1958, Jack made the McLaren Service Station in Remuera his base and brought the second Cooper with him from the UK for Bruce to drive in the NZIGP which culminated in Bruce being awarded the Celebrating 50 Years of “Driver to Europe”. Jack became his mentor and close friend and by 1959 McLaren Racing Bruce joined him as teammate for the Cooper Racing Team. The rest, as we say, is history but the friendship lived on and the BM Trust Following on from their Tasman Series was delighted to host Jack in New Zealand for a week of motorsport memories success, the fledgling BMMR Team set about in 2003 with Jack requesting that the priority of the trip was to be a visit to their very first sports car race with the Zerex see his “NZ Mum” Ruth McLaren, who, by then, was a sprightly 97 years old. th Special – on April 11 1964 at Oulton Park and I shared a very special hour with the two of them together and the love and this was a DNF/oil pressure.

  • 2010 Event Report
    2010 Event Report The best ‘Mallory’ yet! The stars, the participants and the weather all combined to give the record crowds a weekend to remember. The VMCC Festival of 1000 Bikes is now an accepted and an essential fixture on the motorcyclist’s calendar. We now talk of “Mallory” or “1000 Bikes” and every motorcyclist knows what you mean. This opportunity for the owners of both road and track machines to experience riding on a genuine race circuit at their own pace and in the company of like-minded enthusiasts is so attractive that the event was over-subscribed yet again. But it’s more than that. It is now one of those occasions where you are likely to meet everyone you ever knew in your world of motorcycling. Where you see the famous in informal and accessible situations and where you make new acquaintances, see unique and/or rare machines, where you learn more about motorcycle history and technology and where you are able to savour the sights, the sounds and the aromas of machines of a bygone age. Whilst the key attractions are out on the track, the exponents of Vintage Grass-track and the more relaxed devotees of the “Pre-1965 Trials” put on demonstrations of their activities in the out- field areas and the VMCC Sprint section staged dramatic demonstrations of their skills to a vast and appreciative crowd on the track at Sunday Lunch time. Sunday afternoon saw the ‘Past Masters’ led by Freddie Spencer on his Honda RS500 and Carl Fogarty MBE on his Ducati 996 showing us the skills, the style and the panache that made them so successful.

    500 Owners Association Circuit Racing Championship 2018 Season Race Pack 500 Owners Association Circuit Racing Championship 2018 Season Race Pack Introduction 2018 sees a five-event calendar that includes two double headers. The club continues with its bought race programme; a total of four this season, with three events being organised with the VSCC and additionally, the Zandvoort Historic Grand Prix. A new venture for this season is our first race with UKM at Mallory Park on 10th June where we are not buying the race but are receiving the race entries. Once again numbers are key to maintaining the viability of the clubs circuit racing programme and a minimum grid size of 16 cars is essential, although with our membership and race ready cars, there is every reason that gird numbers could exceed 20 at every event. Because of the additional cost of the Zandvoort races, a minimum grid size of 24 is required to break even, but we hoping that the grid will be bolstered by a number of our French, Dutch and Scandinavian friends. Race entry fee In order to break even for the season we have set the entry fee at £240 for each entry for the three UK “bought races”. The UKM Mallory Park double header is priced at a competitive £345 with the additional incentive of a £20 early bird discount for any entries paid for by the 30th April, so get your entries in soon! For Zandvoort, the additional cost of the two races requires a higher entry fee of £350. Younger drivers In our ongoing attempt to get younger drivers competing in 500’s we are continuing to offer a 50% discount to the entry fee for the “bought “races The young driver definition is as follows: “A paid up member (Family or individual) that is 29 years of age or younger at the time of the first race of the season – For 2018 that date is May 19th 2018.
