  • 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.

    Memory Lane the Newsletter of The Historic Racing Car Club of Tasmania. Grant Twining's Devione Grant says: - here is my humble jigger when it was brand spanking new in 1969. The Devione LC2 twincam’’ was built in Melbourne during 1968=69 by Denis Lupton and Ian Cook. The car, although sharing the dimensions of a Brabham BT23, was not a replica, having a space frame chassis developed specifically for this car, with hub carriers obtained from a Matra, and powered by a Lotus Ford Twincam. The car first turned a wheel in competition at Calder in 1969, and was run regularly on Victorian circuits, with road trips to Oran Park and Warwick Farm during the early 1970’s. The principal driver was Ian Cook, who ran the car in a number of ‘Gold Star’ rounds as a Formula 2, including the 1971 Australian Grand Prix at Warwick Farm.

  • Bob Holden in the Great Race
    Bob Holden in the great race By Paul Watson ob Holden has competed in the great race “34 or 35” times, including his win with Rauno Aaltonen in a Mini Cooper S in 1966. B In the fi rst Armstrong 500, at Phillip Island in 1960, Bob and fellow Peugeot ace Ken Brigden drove a 403 as part of the Continental & General Distributors team. They were fourth in their class (classes were governed by price then), behind class winners Geoff Russell, David Anderson and Tony Loxton, who completed 164 laps. The Vauxhall Cresta of John Roxburgh and Frank Coad (167 laps) is widely regarded as having won the event, although offi cially there was no outright winner. Another 403, driven by Ron Lilley and Jim Gullan, was eighth in class C.
