  • DARRYL WILCOX Darryl Wilcox Was Born in Hobart on 4Th September
    DARRYL WILCOX Darryl Wilcox was born in Hobart on 4th September 1946 and has lived most of his life at Huonville where he and Maureen have recently moved back again this year. During his long and illustrious career Darryl has raced a number of Holdens, from FX to his recently sold Monaro, most of which have appeared in the familiar Wilcox Blue. First race was at Hillwood Hillclimb in 1963 where he went to watch fellow Huon Valley resident Ian Smith run his Cooper S and ended up having a couple of runs himself. This was followed shortly afterwards by a run at the Domain Hillclimb. At this time in life Darryl’s main sporting interest was as a player for the Huonville Football Club. His football career came to an abrupt end when he was knocked unconscious in the 1963 Grand Final and as a result he never played again. Darryl’s first race meeting was at Baskerville in late 1963 where he managed to circulate without embarrassing himself. Shortly afterwards, after driving up to Orford with a mate in a fast early model Holden, he ended up with a broken leg after a road accident which on the way home. The accident put him out of action for twelve months. It was during his recuperation whilst staying with an Aunty in Hobart that he discovered in an outside shed a tin of what was to become the Wilcox Racing colour. Racing locally for a couple of years Darryl became a contender for honours among the early models as he built up his racing skills.

  • Formerly the Classic Adelaide Tarmac Rally
    Supaloc Classic Targa Adelaide : formerly the Classic Adelaide Tarmac Rally Before I escaped from the UK, I investigated what events were run for classic cars hoping to find something that resembled HRCR type regularity events that I had been competing in as a navigator for Charlie Harrison. One of the events, well, the only one really that came up was the Classic Adelaide tarmac Rally but upon more detailed investigation it seemed to be a real speed event for prepared rally/race cars. Not what I was after and so discounted, but not forgotten. Since that time, I have become part owner of a fully prepared rally car and completed some real tarmac rally events, so interest was raised as Octagon, the organisers of Targa Tasmania had taken over the now renamed Supaloc Classic Targa Adelaide. And, so here we are about to compete in that previously discounted event, and in the Charade of course! The Charade is not yet a Classic yet but we are allowed to run in the event under the Early Modern section and because we will be a Classic Car before too long. At the time of writing which is 12 th September and on our way to Adelaide we thought that there were to be only 2 entrants in this category so as long as we finished, we were guaranteed at least 2nd place in our class! But Alas no, the others withdrew and so we were amalgamated with the contemporary classics making about 10 in that particular class. A bit more of a challenge for us.
