October 2018 is the 100th issue I have edited of the HRCC’s Historic Torque, having started in June 2010, and producing 12 issues annually; unfortunately I needed to combine the July and August editions this year due to the timing of the biggest ever Historic Queensland Race Meeting. So the November issue will be my last as Editor, marking eight and a half years of a significant investment of time, thought and effort. I have enjoyed the monthly challenge, and I hope you have enjoyed the result… I wish to thank those who have assisted along the way, by contributing notices, stories, photographs and encouragement, but most importantly, the professional photographers without whom this would be a difficult job and a poorer result. I would like to thank, especially, Ian Welsh (shiftingfocus.com.au) for his copious and prompt supply of excellent motorsport photographs, and his great work with our very modern website. Following in the footsteps of dedicated Members past, including Ken Nelson, Ross Phillips, John Carson, Pete Ziser, and Charles Mogg, Ian has volunteered to take over the role of Editor of Historic Torque, so it’s in good hands.

The 21st Noosa Hillclimb (Summer) will be run over the weekend of 10-11 November. Both Noosa Hillclimbs (Summer and Winter) are promoted by a joint venture of the Noosa Beach Classic Car Club (NBCCC) and Historic Racing Car Club of Queensland (HRCC) and have steadily increased in popularity over the last 20 years. The course is claimed to be Australia’s Toughest Hillclimb, combining 14 challenging corners with a dramatic rise to the top of the range, all centred in the beautiful Tewantin National Park. Of course, Noosa/Tewantin provides plentiful accommodation and entertainment, so a longer stay is very popular. Billed as the Classic and Sports Car Challenge, the Summer Hillclimb is open to all types, but, with the glorious Noosa weather, is especially suited to Sportscars and open-wheel Racing Cars, whether road registered or not. For 2018, cars with Historic Logbook will be included in the appropriate age bracket unless sufficient entries are received to form an individual class. The three age brackets are: Historic (Pre-1980) Classic (1981-2000) Modern (post 2000) including Classes for Racing Cars, Sports Cars, Sports Sedans and Touring Cars, and a Regularity Hillclimb.

Share the ride with a mate or three… Many hands make light work! HRCC Helping Those Who Help Us. As part of HRCC’s Historic Queensland Race Meeting, the Friday night Meet & Greet included a multi-draw raffle with all prizes thanks to generous Event Sponsors. In August the HRCC Treasurer John Tupicoff returned to Warwick, and presented the raffle proceeds, $1050, to the Glennie Heights Scout Group at their Den. Since 2015 the Glennie Heights Scout Group have been assisting the HRCC with the Entry ticket sales at both Historic Race Meetings in early May and July each year. Neil Meiklejohn (Emu) said the unexpected donation would go towards the renovation of the Scouts Den and thanked HRCC and its Members for the generous donation. 3 The Oily Rag If you have not been taking “the Oily Rag” you have been missing out!

  • MGA and MGB: Aussie Doctor and the World's Fastest ‘Super Bee’
    MGA and MGB: Aussie doctor and the world's fastest ‘Super Bee’ 27 September 2018 By MarkOastler Doctor Iain Corness and the ‘Super Bee’ were a potent combination, reaching the peak of their performance in 1971. Here they’re in full flight at Sydney’s Warwick Farm in 1970. Love the decal on the windshield, which reads 'The Civilised Sports Car' - it was anything but civilised by the time Corness had finished with it! The MGA and MGB were the ultimate in MG sports cars during the halcyon days of Australian production sports car racing (ProdSports) in the 1950s and 1960s. In fact, at one stage it was claimed that a locally-developed MGB was the fastest Prodsports MGB in the world. That bold statement, by none other than parent company British Leyland, was in 1971 when Queensland doctor Iain Corness and his hand-built ‘Super Bee’ were part of the company’s factory-backed racing team called the British Leyland Young Lions. In reality, Leyland’s claim would have been difficult to authenticate, given that Australia was little more than an international backwater at the time and MGBs were competing successfully in other much larger markets including the UK and USA. Even so, by 1971 the Super Bee was more highly developed than even factory-backed MGBs competing in the UK, given that it was equipped with a unique locally developed DOHC engine. And after several seasons it was continuing to set new lap records, with one remaining unbeaten for eight years. On some tracks it was recording similar times to the top V8 Mustang touring cars of its day.

  • Bob Jane/T-Marts Nitrogen Test
    Bob Jane Study (Australia) Bob Jane T-Marts is very pleased to prove absolutely that using nitrogen reduces fuel consumption depending on which tyre and which car. The following information is a preliminary report on the testing of tyres for roll resistance including the differences in tyre pressures and the use of atmosphere versus nitrogen. We have also used additives for both oil and fuel and measured the effect of different energy / green tyres versus normal tyres. Over the last 6 months we have been developing a three car test unit, later to be extended to four or five including 4 x 4 vehicles, to test various scenarios and we will consider a national tour of Australia with these cars to promote Bob Jane T-Marts Roll Resistance and Fuel Economy in early 2007. Before we go into our test results, let's understand that the car manufacturers world wide together with the tyre manufacturers and motoring organizations such as AAA, RACV and VACC have all reported for decades that the lack of attention to tyres results in 70% of all cars having less than the recommended manufacturers tyre pressure on their vehicles. We start with atmosphere or air that gets pumped into the tyres, the air leaks from the tyre over 2 -3 months and without proper re inflation and therefore runs at pressures that are 5-8% under the recommended pressure, with that type of scenario and the lack of care in cars, we end up with between 3-8% higher fuel consumption. With the lower tyre pressures and dangerous handling of the car, coupled with the rapid wear and tear of the tyre.

The motivation for developing this Guide stems from a simple idea — the attitudes and behaviours of motor sport participants will change when: • participants recognise that their behaviour may impact on another's safety; • it is understood that risk management is what everyone does when making any decision in life; and • it is realised that by adopting risk management practice they make better decisions about their behaviour hence motor sport becomes safer for everyone.

  • 1975 Dekon Monza
    1975 DeKon Monza Chassis 1005 History DeKon Monza Chassis 1005 was finished in June 1975. However, the story of DeKon 1005 begins a decade before the car was built. The story of this, and all the DeKon Monza’s, is the story of the intertwined lives of Allan Moffat, Lee Dykstra, and Horst Kwech. Allan Moffat was born on November 10. 1939. Moffat was born in Canada, but his family moved to South Africa. Moffat was educated in Johannesburg. In 1960, the Moffat family moved to Australia. Australia suited Moffat well, and he remains there in Melbourne. Moffat attempted develop a career in auto racing in Australia. By 1964, he believed his career would be best served by spending some time in the United States. “So he went to North America and began associating himself with racing teams and future sponsors …” Peter Ford, “Moffat! From the Beginning”, Chequered Flag, December 1970. Horst Kwech was born in Gosford, Australia in 1938. In 1963, Kwech moved to the Chicago, Illinois in the United States. Like Moffat, Kwech moved to the U.S. to pursue a career in auto racing. Both drivers achieved some success in the U.S.. However, it was in the SCCA Trans American Sedan Championship that they showed surprising form. On March 25, 1966, Kwech finished fifth overall the first ever Trans Am race. Kwech achieved this result despite driving in the under two-liter class in an Alfa Romeo GTA. In the next Trans Am race, Kwech finished second overall and first in class. The third Trans Am race was the Bryar 250 on July 8, 1966.

    Bob Holden – the man who won’t give up By Paul Watson ob Holden is a legend of Australian motor sport and a hero of Peugeot lovers. But his success was won only through a combination of self- Bmotivation and persistence. Bob was born in 1932 at Notting Hill and lived at Oakleigh, near the Dandenong Road-Ferntree Gully Road intersection. As a child he had multiple medical problems, including the debilitating poliomyelitis, which all but crippled him. Walking with the aid of sticks was painful and his gait was ungainly. So Bob chases Len Lukey and an FJ Holden at Phillip Island, 1957. Bob Holden collection he spent a lot of time reading. “My mother used to go to the library and get books for me to read. When I had gone through the books from A to Z she joined another library and I “My fi rst road race, would you believe, was up Wheelers Hill, and I was went through that.
