PRESIDENTS REPORT OCTOBER 2018
Another major month has just passed for BSCC in the seemingly heavily loaded back end of the year. Just the way the cookie has crumbled this year what with weather, other events that both did happen or where meant to happen and availability of people. Which is not to say there is not still much more to come, so a big finish beckons. September of course saw the running of the biggest event in the BSCC and perhaps Queensland Rallying Calendar with the running of the SR Automotive Manumbar Rally. It was a major test of crews and cars covering the year’s longest competitive distance across some of the great roads available in South East Queensland. It was a pretty full on day starting early and finishing as the sun faded over another terrific day of hot competition.
A full report follows in the magazine but I must make a special thanks to Simon and Margot Knowles, Brad Hurford (plus Kelli, Rachel & Chloe), Margaret MacKay and the extensive team who continue to put this event together. It was interesting to hear of the developing mystique around this event, drawing as it does on some of the more senior competitors and officials’ fond memories of the Gallangowan event days. But also to realise that it is ever changing and evolving with the support of the local community and lots and lots of hard work to unearth and bring on new roads and challenges. The only obvious downer, without wishing to detract and any way from the fine outcome of the event, was the troubling lack of entry numbers. Not that this event has been any worse off than many others this year. It is something that Queensland Rallying is going to have to confront around about now, before the whole thing becomes unviable. But regardless and in some ways in spite of this, full marks and my greatest appreciation to Simon and Margot and all the team for persevering and continuing to invest the time and their own financial resources to ensure rallying happens. Because when it does, it is bloody good fun.
But don’t for a minute think that the end it nigh, for 2018 or for Rallying in our neck of the woods. We still have plenty of action and interesting things to come. Firstly, on October 10 we have the last club night for 2018. Wayne Daniels at Roo Systems has graciously opened his facility to us once again to host a night on ‘How to build a cost effective but competitive rally car’. It has been a highlight of the last couple of years to see some giant killing performances in relatively low cost, and simple to own and maintain cars. We are grateful to long term competitor and former QRC champion, Tristan Carrigan and ‘young guns’, the Wilson brothers for bringing along their 2WD cars to put up on a hoist and allow others to go over them, and discuss how they did it. This should be an invaluable night for those wanting to get into, return to, or continue to rally within their
Brisport October 2018
resources. See elsewhere for details in this edition. As always with these nights, please be courteous and let us know by RSVP so we can cater for all. New board member, long term competitor and rally car builder, Dominic Corkeron has stepped into host the night, so any questions give him a call.
We are also looking eagerly forward to the last of the KCF short course series for 2018. Round 3 will be at Imbil on October 27. Clerk of Course Paul Woodward has put together another sure to be great event on the fast and challenging Imbil roads. Competition is tight for the both the honours on the day and for the 2018 KCF Short Course Challenge. Somewhere in this magazine you will find the progress scores. 4WD and FWD and RWD are both tight with any number of people in with a shot at driver and co-driver prizes for the best performance across all three events for 2018. Suggest you get your entry in for a last decent crack for the year and if you can’t we always need officials. Plus, the Imbil community can use your support so spectators also welcome.
Once that is done then down to the final event for the year, the BSCC Christmas Party. Rally Cars and Christmas. After a wash out in 2017, we will give the Willowbank format another workout. Turn up on the day for some fellowship with fellow Rally enthusiasts, enjoy a wood-fired pizza lunch. Then of course if you wish, bring your car along for some laps and some fun. A great chance to tap into others knowledge and experience and get a plan for 2019.
So, while 2018 has been good so far and there are still some thrills to come, we are also now focusing on 2019. Firstly, everyone should at all times remember that everyone and I mean everyone involved in the club is doing this in their spare time and paying their own way. While ‘someone’ should do lots of things, we do the best we can with the time we have. I think it also fair to say 2018 has been a good year with lots of quality competition, and many highlights. Such as the weather letting us actually do events. But quality don’t pay the bills and we must be frank and say that competitor numbers are a worry.
Careful students would also notice that the club has been devoting considerable time and effort to skills development activities, and the encouragement of new and returning competitors. We had the successful club nights with Ed Ordinski et al bringing basic driving and co-driving skills to life. We also have a club night coming up this month to discuss cost effective and competitive rally cars. All this aimed at getting people to rethink what tools you need to actually go out and have some fun. Case in point being Brayden and Blake Wilson in the All Jap Mirage, who I believe (provisionally) took out 2WD this year in a relatively simple car with a few nice bits. We have all thrilled to the small resurgence in Hyundai Excel racing this year, where a pretty average car had been made that much better with the addition of a limited slip diff and a better diff ratio. Plus some above average talent helps, but we can only do so much.
Brisport October 2018
So in the first ‘golden age’ of rallying, you bought a Datsun or similar and did what everybody else did and went rallying. Then in the second ‘golden era’ the manufacturers did the thinking for you and kept producing the latest Evo-Rex to aspire to and the trickle down of cars has kept us going to this day. But with the newest Evo now 10 years old, and they do take some dedication (and money) to keep competitive. So, what comes next?
Lateral thinking time, and fortunately Tristan is starting to think for us. His provocative article elsewhere in this magazine is well worth a read and a ponder over a beer. So please enjoy and have a think. We want more cars out there. Not only need we concern ourselves with competitor numbers, the other pillars of rallying need equal consideration. • Officials – We need more and a dare I say younger demographic • Community and Sponsors – throughout 2019 this is a key area we need to address. • Organisers – the oft forgotten glue that holds it together. We need to develop more.
Anyway, to finish on some happy news, the club managed after wide deliberation to replace most of our old TAG finish clocks, that had done years of service. They finally cried enough. Anyone who used the new ones at Manumbar seemed impressed. Interesting after 30 years no one seemed to have improved on that technology but equally TAG had not been asleep. The new ones are significantly better to use than the old are. We’d appreciate if you look after them please. We need them to last a while, so we can move on to other key equipment issues like communications. Sounds like a 2019 project.

It was a faultless drive by Ian Menzies and Robert McGowan to win the SR Automotive Manumbar Rally crowning them 2018 P3 Solutions Queensland Rally Champions.
Finally having a car that was running at full pace after being plagued with fuel injection problems in previous rounds, Menzies and McGowan won seven of the nine stages in their Bespoke Engineering Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9. The team used their 20+ years’ experience of competing in the area to their full advantage. In thanking the organisers, the Brisbane Sporting Car Club, Menzies expressed appreciation towards the large effort they took to find some new and very challenging roads for this years' event.
The SR Automotive Rally was the fourth and final round of the P3 Solutions Queensland Rally Championship. The event started in the township of Nanango, utilising new roads and forestry areas, then moving to Manumbar for the traditionally fast and long stages loved by event regulars. Totalling 150 km of competitive stages, many competitors enjoyed the longer than usual blind rally format.
Taking second outright was the experienced team of Ryan Smart and Hugh Reardon- Smith driving their classic Datsun Stanza. Struggling with brake issues near the end of the event, Smart and Reardon-Smith set two fastest stage times for the day. Team Datsun Australia collected the fastest 2WD trophy as well as much applause at spectator points.
Third place was the very happy Marius Swart and Alan Stean in their screaming Inspirations Paint Capalaba VW Polo S2000. Driving for championship results Marius/Stean drove fast and consistently, whilst minimizing risk. The solid result puts the team at second outright in the 2018 P3 Solutions Queensland Rally Championship, and bigger smiles on their faces.
Brisport October 2018
Steering their car into fourth place was another inspiring drive by Melinda Bergmann and Larisa Biggar in their RallyCars.com.au Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9. A small error costing the ladies some time early in stage 2 meant they spent the rest of the rally trying to increase the gap back to fifth, with success. Bergmann and Biggar finished the 2018 P3 Solutions Queensland Rally Championship at third outright, their highest placing yet.
The Yeppoon based father and daughter team of Anthony Tanzer and Chloe Tanzer showed excellent speed and consistency coming away with fifth for the event. Driving in their Tanzer's Autocare Subaru WRX, Chloe Tanzer also achieved the highest place Junior Co-Driver award.
The Junior Driver award was won by Brayden Wilson in his AllJap Auto Parts Mitsubishi Mirage, with his brother Blake as co-driver. The promising young team managing to finish, despite losing brakes and understandably some confidence during the event. With 'getting to the end' as the target, the brothers finish the year both as winners of the 2018 P3 Solutions 2WD Championship, Junior Driver and Junior Co-Driver.
The battle for Clubman was epic even before the event started. Clubman winners were brothers Gerard Byrne and David Byrne steering their Century Batteries Subaru WRX firmly into the lead by almost 5 minutes. Second was Jessie Heitmann and Grant Burisch (Top Dog Diff & Gearbox Centre) in a borrowed Hyundai Excel. After going through two rotary engines for their Mazda RX7 the week of the rally, Rhys Simmons loaned the Hyundai the day prior to the rally. This meant that Heitmann/ Burisch secured the 2018 P3 Solutions Clubman Series for 2018. In addition they were awarded the "Oh Deer" award by organisers with an antler found in the forest as a keepsake. Connor Oldham and Jenna Bulmer (Phoenix Homes Qld Mazda Familia GTX) were set to have a great battle with Heitmann/Burisch, however unfortunately disaster struck the team with engine failure about halfway through the rally.
The event organisers thanked the communities of Nanango and Manumbar for their ongoing support of the event. Impressively, the volunteers outnumbered competitors at a ratio of 4:1, which featured heavily in the winners’ speeches. Event sponsor, Stewart Reid of SR Automotive, whom has supported the event
Brisport October 2018
year after year, also provided great prizes for the volunteers. There was much appreciation for support for the volunteers, with one mystery competitor donating 20 BP fuel vouchers via random draw as a show of appreciation.
The 2018 P3 Solutions Queensland Rally Championship is now complete and many competitors are looking forward to an even greater 2019 season.

A lot has been said recently, bemoaning the lack of entries in Qld rally events. Now, I don't pretend to have any answers, and am possibly throwing stones in a glass house having spent a long time away from rallying, but I have some observations I would like to put forward.
It dawned on me recently, that a number of competitors that traditionally turned up to every event in their 2wd cars, have obtained 4wd cars, and are now competing sporadically, or in some cases not at all as they have sold the 4wd. I can think of 4 or 5 off the top of my head that fit this description, and the ones that are not currently competing are recovering from the serious commitment of time, money and effort required to run a 4wd car, let's hope they return at some stage.
When some of these competitiors have been battling to deal with reliability issues, I have asked them why they would want to do it to themselves. The response is always the same "Because I want to win, and the 4wd gives me a fighting chance"......
They want to give themselves a chance at winning the Qld championship, nothing wrong with that. But I fear we have created an environment where the outlay in time and money to win the Championship is out of proportion to the benefits returned, to both the individual and the wider rallying community. After all, this is our hobby, yet I would surmise that some competitors are spending more per year in their quest to win the Championship than some other rally enthusiasts earn in a year.
I would like to ask the question, would it make sense to put the 2wd cars on a more even playing field ? The points system whereby competitiors score outright points, as well as class points, goes a small way to addressing this. However, when a P5 class car wins, (and if it stays on the road and is driven with even modest enthusiasm it will win,) it still scores maximum class points. A bucket of bolts P2 class car could come in second, just 10 seconds behind, score the same class points, and obviously less outright points, yet I don't think there would be any doubt as to which team had done the better job. So I can’t see how this system can realistically give the 2wds’ a leg up if there is consistently the same 1 or 2 P5 cars winning events outright.
Would it make sense to have the class points system on a sliding scale ? i.e, P5 cars receive 0 class points. P6 cars 2 points for first, 1 point for second in class. P4 cars 4 points for first, 2 for second, 1 for third. And so on, until a P1 car earns 10 points for first, 8 for second, 6 for third, 4 for fourth etc etc.. Outright points would remain as per the current arrangement.
The actual points alotted may need some fine tuning, but you get the idea. Ideally any class of car would be equally capable of winning the championship. If it got more competitors out there in 2wd cars, entering more events, then surely that should be the standard by which such a move would be judged? And any grumblings from 4wd competitors should be put to bed? With the outright points on offer, a well driven 4wd would still be entirely capable of taking the championship. Having competed in both 4wd and 2wd cars, I know that if money were no object then a 4wd car would still be the best bet to win the
Brisport October 2018
championship. However, given that money is an object, and is also a concern for my fellow competitiors and their maintenance schedules, I know that if (when?) a reliability issue raises its ugly head in a 4wd, a 2wd car will be in the box seat to overtake the 4wd in the championship standings. And this situation could only serve to increase the interest surrounding the championship, from past, present, and future competitors.
Fiddling with different classes of cars competing in the same race to ensure parity is nothing new. Australias Touring car series did it when the turbocharged cars were running around. The BTCC is constantly changing regs to this day. But the points system is so much easier to fiddle with, and requires no changes to vehicle regulations. And it can be changed next year, and again the next if required, and still no changes need to be made to vehicles. If none of us knew who to put our money on at the start of the season, then I’d say we were on the right track.
In theory, a maintained 4wd will be just as reliable as a 2wd naturally aspirated car. In reality, this is not the case. There are a number relatively standard 2wd cars turning up to each and every event in Qld, with little more than tyres and fuel being required between events. The exception of course is panel damage.
Having run our ( we don’t really know who owns it) Hyundai Excel for a while now, the running costs are almost comical when the car stays straight. And when it gets bent, I’ll guarantee it is cheaper and easier to fix than anything else going around. It was purchased from Victoria unseen, for less than $5k, and so far the only DNFs’ have been due to off road excursions ( can’t really blame the car for that). Urbenville 2017 was the last Dnf, and the car has done many events since, even finishing Benarkin 2018 despite a heavy visit to the scenery ( stubborn little Excel ).
I’m not advocating that everyone should be in Excels, but I would like competitors to appreciate how much fun can be had in a 2wd non turbo car. There are other suitable cheap, tough, common and potentially fast 2wd cars getting around, in both front and rear wheel drive. I would like them to realise that we don’t get much of a thrill from driving a fast car at 95% pace, but we get a massive thrill from driving a slower car at 100% pace, even if the stage times are actually slower. And this is where the benefits of a relatively standard 2wd car stand out:-
- They don’t make an excess of power, so the driver can wring its neck for an entire stage and feel like an absolute gun.
- They don’t make enough power to blow themselves apart, which means more seat time in the forest and less time spending non rally weekends laying under the car covered in grease.
- And don’t discount the extra speed and bravado that comes from knowing that the car is cheap to repair, and worst case scenario, replace. It certainly takes the pressure off to know that even if you bend the car, you won’t have to live on bread and water for the next 6 months.
These factors all combine to increase the fun factor in a cheap car. And the fun is why we do it, I’m pretty sure we aren’t doing it for the prize money. If other rally drivers are anything like me, then their fun will come from driving a good piece of road, regardless of what they are driving. Big shock here, the cheap cars get to cover exactly the same roads as a top flight 4wd car......
And maybe if 2wd competitors had a better chance of beating the 4wd’s to the championship we’d see more 2wd cars out there. Competing. At every event on offer. And maybe entry lists would benefit as a
Brisport October 2018
result.
Maybe it’s something that we all need to give some thought to.....

Tristan Carrigan

THE ARC IN QUEENSLAND – PART 2
By Tony Best
I started Part 1 of this Story with the Ampol Warana Rally in 1968.
Maybe I should have started a lot earlier.
Rallies, or Reliability Trials as they were then known, have been held in Australia since 1905. However, Motor Racing was generally much more popular than Rallying with Motor Sport enthusiasts.
Then something spectacular happened in 1953.
Reg Shepheard, father of former competitor George Shepheard, imported a petrol additive known as Redex and decided to promote this product by sponsoring a Round Australia Car Rally. These events created an amazing amount of interest. Event Reports were front page news in the Courier Mail almost every day and large crowds gathered everywhere to watch the cars go past. New heroes were created, such as Ken Tubman, Gelignite Jack Murray, and Harry Firth.
The Redex Trials started a renewed interest in this type of event and this resulted in the formation of a number of new Car Clubs. The Brisbane Sporting Car Club was formed in 1953 and this could easily have been as a result of the publicity from the Redex Trials. Redex supported these Trials for three years, followed by annual events run by
Brisport October 2018
Companies such as Ampol and Mobil for the next three years. After these early events they lost their popularity. The most recent Round Australia Rallies were the Mobil 1 Rally in 1995 and the Play Station Rally in 1998 so we have not had a Round Australia Rally for twenty years
The large number of Rallies being run in all parts of Australia during the late 1950s and early 1960s resulted in CAMS making the decision to commence the Australian Rally Championship in 1968.
I did a fairly comprehensive story on the 1968 Ampol Warana Rally last month. As also mentioned last month hopefully Mal Bartolo has kept the stories that I did on later events and we can use them over the next few years.
I have attached a tabulation of statistics for all Queensland ARC Rounds between 1968 and 2016. As it is impossible to cover 48 events in a few pages I will only comment on some of the highlights.
There have been eight Clerks of Course. A relatively small number mainly because Errol Bailey was Clerk of Course 21 times. Henk Kabel was Clerk of Course 6 times and Garry Connelly 7 times. The others did the job between twice and four times. There have been thirteen Naming Rights Sponsors. Falken Tyres were the Sponsors for nine years and Lutwyche Shopping Village for eight. Four were once only Sponsors and the others were between twice and four times. They represent quite an interesting list of different businesses. I get the impression that the average organization uses a particular form of Sponsorship to promote their product for around five years and will then look elsewhere even if we are giving them good value for money.
The list of winners certainly includes all of the top drivers of the past fifty years. I feel that the only really top line driver missing is Wayne Bell. Neal Bates and Possum Bourne top the list with seven wins each but tied for the win on two occasions. Colin Bond won four years running in the early 1970s. There will always be arguments as to who was the best. Some people say that Simon Evans was faster than anybody else and others say that there will never be another driver like Possum Bourne.
What has been the most successful car. In the early 1970s the Torana XU1 seemed to be unbeatable and a few years later it was the Datsun Stanza. Then the 4WD Rally cars started to appear. First it was the Mazda Familia followed by the Subaru Liberty and the Mitsubishi VR4. These were later superseded by the WRX and Evo. The other successful manufacturer was Toyota initially with the Celica GT4 and later with various Corollas. Both Toyota and Subaru have been credited with eleven wins each.
Brisport October 2018
As mentioned last month there have been considerable changes to the format of the event. The first few years were similar to the 1968 event with a Start in Brisbane on the Saturday, competition through the night and a Finish back in Brisbane on the Sunday morning. From 1972 the event was generally held in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland but still covered a wide area, at different times going to Imbil, Kandanga, Amamoor, Glastonbury, Widgee, Gallangowan, Jimna, Mount Stanley, Kenilworth with occasional visits to Nanango. Beerburrum Forest was also often used for Stages between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast at the Start or Finish of the event, and who could forget the Special Stages at the Mount Coot-tha Quarry.
The scores were timed to the minute until 1977 then in 1978 and 1979 were timed to the second but still in minutes and seconds longer than the Time Allowed. From 1980 onwards, it was a true Special Stage Rally with the score being the time taken to complete the Special Stage.
Gradually more daylight Stages were used, including some on the Sunday, but still after a lot of Saturday night Stages and a short overnight break. The BP Rally Queensland in 1990 and 1991 started from King George Square at lunch time on the Friday.
The event continued to be based in Brisbane until 1995, then moved to the Sunshine Coast in 1996. This was also the first year that Pace Noting was used. As only one day was allowed for Pace Noting this meant that it was necessary to use roads that were reasonably close to the main Service Park. Rally Headquarters were generally at the Oasis Resort in Caloundra, but Twin Waters was used once and Surfair four times before going back to the Oasis. Most Special Stages were in the Imbil area. A Stage at Pomona was used twice and Pelican Waters was used a few times in the late 1990s before any houses were there. Some innovative Spectator Stages were used, including the Kawana Hotel Car Park, Noosa Hillclimb, Nambour Showgrounds, Caloundra Industrial Estate and Caloundra Airport, but by far the most memorable would be the Caloundra Capers Stage in 2005 which used closed streets in the Kings Beach area.
As mentioned earlier I have competed in 42 of the 48 times that the event has been run. My only Podium Position was Third Outright in 1989 navigating for George Kahler. George was the father of present competitor Peter Kahler. My next best effort was Fourth Outright and First Group N with David West in 1995 followed up with Fifth Outright and Second Group N in 1996.
Brisport October 2018
I have been with nineteen different drivers, five times with Lisle Neumann, David West and John Berne, four times with Ian Ogilvie, three times with Alan Cutts, George Kahler and Chris Harbeck, and one or two times with the others. I have also tried to help with the organization while I was competing, and looked after the Service Instructions from 1994 until it became the Rally Guide, then looked after the Rally Guide until 2014.
Until 2016 Queensland had an enviable record of organizing ARC Rounds. No other Club in Australia has run an ARC Round as many times as BSCC. No other State has had continuous ARC Rounds from 1968 to 2018. Some fantastic and memorable ARC Rallies have been held here. This did not just happen. It was the result of a lot of hard work by a large number of people.
This year 2018 sees Rounds of the ARC in every State except Queensland. What are we doing wrong that the others are doing right. I am very unhappy that this has happened and just hope that at some future time we can again have an ARC Round here.
