    Profile: Allan Moffat by James Cockington of Sidney Morning Herald – October 15, 2008

    Profile: Allan Moffat by James Cockington of Sidney Morning Herald – October 15, 2008 Former Bathurst champion Allan Moffat. It's a little-known fact that Canadian-born Allan Moffat, regarded as one of Australia's motor racing legends, briefly studied politics in Melbourne. "My father was working here with Massey Ferguson," he says. "In 1962 I was given a marketing cadetship with Volkswagen Australia on the condition that we do an outside degree. I'd always been interested in politics so I enrolled in economics and politics at Monash University, which had just opened." The deal was the cadets were supposed to turn up at university at 4pm twice a week. That didn't happen a lot in Moffat's case, he admits, because that same year he bought his first car - a Triumph TR3A - and decided to race it. His first race was at Calder. "It was my road car as well. I'd bought it on hire purchase, so I couldn't race it at two meetings in a row in case the insurance company was checking the programs and noticed my name turning up all the time," he says. Racing soon took over from his studies and Moffat received a letter from the chancellor suggesting he not return for the second year of his degree. He now wishes he'd kept that letter. It changed the direction of his life. He returned home to Toronto and in 1964 drove over the border to watch the Indianapolis 500 race. While sitting in the grandstand he decided then and there that he too would be a professional driver.

    Tasmanian Motorsport Hall of Fame

    TASMANIAN MOTORSPORT HALL OF FAME DAVID “Skippy” PARSONS (Inducted 2021) David “Skippy” Parsons started his motorsport career as a teenager, on a trials bike in 1975. He had a natural talent and won the Tasmanian championship the following year. It was to be his first of an amazing nine consecutive championships through until 1985. David also contested three Australian championships, which in the 1970s and 1980s usually attracted fields of nearly 300 riders from all over Australia and overseas, finishing ninth in 1985. While excelling on two wheels, David was also starting to make a name for himself on four wheels, winning his class in club days in his father Graham’s Holden Torana SLR5000 L34. He also set a course record at the Highclere Hillclimb, in the State’s North-West, which stood for many years, so when Graham retired from racing in 1977, it was only natural David move up to touring cars. After several seasons, which included a class record at Symmons Plains, David upgraded to a Holden Commodore - and always looking for more power - he purchased a second-hand motor from John Harvey of the Holden Dealer Team in 1982. David finished fifth in the Symmons Plains round of the national championship before going on to record four top-five results to finish 12th in the championship and winning Rookie of the Year. His efforts didn’t go un-noticed and he was recruited by the Peter Jansen Cadbury Schweppes Team to race a Commodore at the Sandown 500 and Bathurst 1000 endurance events. David and Peter finished fourth in David’s first appearance at Mount Panorama, qualifying third on the grid the following year and running as high as second before a blown engine ended their day.

    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.

The latest and most significant figurative public sculpture by Julie Squires has been the “Diggers” Great Ocean Road Memorial commissioned for the 75th Anniversary of the building of the road in 2007. (see image) “The legend and legacy of Australian Diggers is now clearly recognised through the memorial. This history and this sculpture, a larger than life memorial to mateship and courage, will without doubt be a significant destination for the international and domestic visitors who visit the Great Ocean Rd” The Hon Tim Holding MP, Minister for Tourism and Major Events (2007) Amongst Julie’s figurative work collection is also a life size portrait of English Cellist, Jacqueline Du Pre.

    Media Release Thursday 19 December 2019 HAVE A SAY ON NAMES OF 13 RESERVES IN CAMDEN The Geographical Names Board is calling for public comment on a proposal by Camden Council to name 13 reserves in the Camden Local Government Area. Eight of the reserves Bridge Park, Champions Park, Family Hill Park, Grand Prix Park, Grandstand Park, Angus Park and Hollywood Park are each located in the suburb of Oran Park on the site of the former racing circuit. Chair of the Geographical Names Board Narelle Underwood said feedback is being sought on the proposal to name these reserves and a further six: Morton Reserve, Thomas Meehan Reserve, Greenhills Reserve, Nugget Beames Reserve, Roden Cutler Reserve and Ron Dine Reserve. “It is important that place names reflect the character and history of the local area and community,” Mrs Underwood said. “We want to make sure everyone has an opportunity to provide their feedback on the proposed names before the board considers them.” Bridge Park is bound by Ambrose Street and Wedd Street and named for the 1973 North Circuit extension which included building a bridge and resulted in the track becoming the only circuit in Australia to include a bridge. Champions Park is located adjacent to The Northern Road from Holden Drive extending south to Dan Cleary Drive and is named for its tradition of hosting the final round of the Australian Touring Car series where winners would be presented with trophies. Family Hill Park is encompassed by Evans and Carden Streets and was commonly referred to as the Family hill during raceway days.

Vitesse! Page 3 Foreword Motorsport essentially consists of three ingredients. First, you need a motor vehicle - which can be anything from a Formula 1 car to a lawn mower, or from a MotoGP motorcycle to a pocket bike. Second, you need a driver or rider to operate the vehicle, and finally, a place to go racing - a circuit. To most people this last ingredient is probably the least interesting. The number of books about famous racing drivers and cars, or great riders and their motorcycles, is far larger than the number of books about racing circuits. However, to me circuits are the most interesting aspect of motorsport, for two main reasons. First is their great diversity: in terms of shape, layout, length, difficulty, fame and many other factors, every circuit is different, and each has its own story to tell. Second, it is fascinating to see just how many circuits there are. Once you start looking, you can find them just about any- where. Finding lost circuits or discovering long-forgotten tracks is one of the most fun aspects of researching racing circuits. When looking for information about racing circuits online, I often found it frustrating that the available sources were not complete, and that they often lacked detail and accuracy. This is one of the reasons why I started my website www.wegcircuits.nl and why I made Rennen! Races! Vitesse! - a downloadable pdf-file that lists racing circuits of past and present in four European countries: the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria.
