Planning is well underway and there are some outstanding activities in the making. THE WEEK BEFORE WE RACE Tuesday: The Mebourne Cup Fortuitously, the Melbourne (Sandown) leg of the Diamond Jubilee is during Melbourne Cup Week. The race that stops a nation is one of the great distance horse races on the global calendar and Victoria, of which Melbourne is the capital, declares a "Bank Holiday" on Tuesday November 1st just for the race! There are numerous entertainment options for the 100,000 that attend that include dining, fashion and mingling with the stars, if that is your want. Flemington racecourse always looks a treat in Spring and for racing followers it is a must do. There is also a well attended "Ladies Day"on Thursday the 3rd of November with around 60,000 people flocking to see the very latest in fashion and more spectacular racing. BOOKINGS ONLY REQUIRED IF YOU WISH TO PURCHASE ONE OF THE HOSPITALITY OR ENTERTAINMENT PACKAGES ON OFFER DIRECT FROM THE VICTORIA RACING CLUB at [email protected] Wednesday: Maybe a drive along the Great Ocean Road This scenic road is often quoted as one of the world's best drives. Perhaps hire an exotic sports car and view the 12 apostles among other wonderful views. Thursday: The Oaks day at Flemington Racecourse (See above) FRIDAY EVENING We have been able to secure a limited number of places on Melbourne's fleet of historic refurbished Tramcars FOR AN EVENING MEAL!. This unique experience captures Melbourne at its best with an excellent on-board menu as the tram traverses some of the City's CBD and inner, interesting suburbs. A very special opportunity for our overseas guests and they will be afforded priority for this special event. The adventure commences in the CBD at 5:30PM for 90 minutes and includes a 3 course meal with an open bar of spirits, wine and beer - all inclusive at AU$85.00 per person. Advance bookings are essential and need to be received by Kim Shearn at; [email protected] by no later than 23rd September. Transport to and from the Novotel in Glen Waverley will be arranged for a small extra cost if required - please advise this also. Highly recommended! SATURDAY / SUNDAY AT THE TRACK A hospitality suite for drivers and companions will be available and will serve light refreshments throughout the meeting on both days. This unit is located close to the paddock garages and affords a commanding view of the action from the main grandstand on overlooking the start/finish line. PIT Issue 2 SATURDAY NIGHT A private function for all Formula Junior drivers and partners is planned. This event was a huge success during the Golden Jubilee series and a repeat was deemed well worthy! More detail re timing and location will follow prior to your arrival. NB: All events are planned to have a dress code of smart casual, other than the horse racing. Dress varies significantly from the sublime (Top hat and tails) to the ridiculous fancy dress costumes worn by some - and many variations in between!. We're looking forward to welcoming all our visitors to one of the World's most liveable cities - Melbourne - See you soon for some memorable FJ racing and a fun time for all. Cheers, Kim Shearn President AFJA 14th August 2016 PIT Issue 2 Roger Ealand 10/06/1943-22/03/2016 Eulogy (30th March 2016) What a crowd! We needed to take heed of Roger’s credo….we’re gonna need a bigger shed. I’m not surprised because we’re all here out of respect and admiration for a favourite man. Plus I’ve received many, many messages and kind words from people who couldn’t make it here today. But I AM impressed we all found our way here. Because the email notification sent out referred to - “our beautiful Roger”….. the “beautiful” bit really threw me…. However, there are two other words we definitely attribute to our mate… BRILLIANT and PERFECT. These two words were the most constant words we heard from Roger over the past couple of years when we asked how things were going. His answer was always - “just BRILLIANT” or “absolutely PERFECT”. Well, he lied ! Things were NOT brilliant, or perfect. But these words DO sum up Roger’s attitude, his lifestyle and his influence on those around him. To many of us here today, His brilliance was evident in our world of historic motor sport…. most recently as a top competitor, car restorer and President of the Australian Formula Junior Association. It all started, with Margaret by his side, when Roger’s race career kicked off about 55 years ago with an MG TC special at Lakeside. Both here and in the UK, he showed his trademark short attention span, and changed and competed in hundreds of different cars…. from a veteran 1904 Rambler… .right up to a McLaren Formula 5000. He probably had his best successes in the 80’s and 90’s with sports cars. In fact …..in his Marcos, Roger scored the UK Classic Sports Car Championship…. 8 years running. There was also time for rallying – again with Margaret literally by his side as navigator – in an E Type Jag, an XK150 Jag and a couple of Volvos. You’ll see his Volvo 123 GT at his home today, being restored to it’s prime….. just as it was when Roger and Margaret drove the London to Sydney marathon…..their best result was that they managed to stay married ! Over all these years, he never lost his enthusiasm for cars and the sport. Even up until 4 weeks ago, Roger was hard at work cementing the destiny of Formula Junior racing in Australia. He was gutted when he realised he wouldn’t be running alongside us at the Diamond Jubilee world series that started in January. He had prepared over the past couple of years by buying cars and motorhomes in Australia, England and America…..just so he wouldn’t miss an event. His enthusiasm has almost bankrupted a couple of us as we’ve tried to keep up with him. Now we’ll have to travel and run alone. Our cars will wear black tyres to honour him. PIT Issue 2 Frankly, we could spend hours going through Roger’s Formula Junior and racing adventures - but he was such a media tart, that the world has already read about his exploits, with nauseating regularity. Despite Roger’s love of racing, it was more about participating than winning. A few months ago, he took all his trophies – and there were hundreds of them – and threw them away in the council tip. A few days later, someone had collected them and brought them back home saying…. it appears someone stole these… and we knew you’d want them back” So racing was more about fulfilling his relentless , competitive nature….rather than the eventual result. Roger’s brave battle with cancer was a bit like his racing style…..with Jumped start Ignored warning flags Cut corners Performance enhancing drugs ……and he still couldn’t win ! I’ll let others remind you of his other, very significant achievements…. In…. horse riding - boat building – sailing – flying - and business – including founding and running an international management and motivational consultancy – and building and running an award winning guest house.

  • We Celebrate One of the Great Racing Car Constructors
    LOLA AT 60 WE CELEBRATE ONE OF THE GREAT RACING CAR CONSTRUCTORS Including FROM BROADLEY TO BIRRANE GREATEST CARS LOLA’S SECRET WEAPON THE AUDI CHALLENGER The success of the Mk1 sports-racer, usually powered by the Coventry Climax 1100cc FWA engine, brought Lola Cars into existence. It overshadowed the similar e orts of Lotus boss Colin Chapman and remained competitive for several seasons. We believe it is one of designer Eric Broadleyʼs greatest cars, so turn to page 16 to see what our resident racer made of the original prototype at Donington Park. Although the coupe is arguably more iconic, the open version of the T70 was more successful. Developed in 1965, the Group 7 machine could take a number of di erent V8 engines and was ideal for the inaugural Can-Am contest in ʼ66. Champion John Surtees, Dan Gurney and Mark Donohue won races during the campaign, while Surtees was the only non-McLaren winner in ʼ67. The big Lola remains a force in historic racing.

This made a change from Taupo Car Club assisting HRC at Taupo HRC meetings. Thanks to all The Motorsport Club personnel who assisted at the event. It was most appreciated by the Taupo Car Club. On Sunday, in association with Barfoot and Thompson, HRC ran a charity event at Hampton Downs and raised over $16,000 for Starship Foundation and Blind Foundation Guide Dogs. Rides were auctioned on Trade Me for rides on Side car motorbikes. Paul Radisich gave rides in the super lap March owned by Glenn Hodges and Stephen Armstrong made the Alan Moffat replica RX7 available for rides. Not only was it great to raise money these worthy causes it exposed new people to our sport. In the afternoon we ran our one of our successful Introduction to Motorsport events.

    B Page 1 of 45 EDITORSPEAK … email Trevor [email protected] I’m a few weeks into my new role now and I think I’m beginning to get my head back into the car industry after a 3-year break while I fulfilled the farmer / sheep milk entrepreneur / builder / plumber / electrician / handyman brief. I’ve enjoyed the flexibility of being on the farm (let) and getting out in the open air every day (yes even the wet days can be OK …. the wet AND cold less so), plus no motorised transport other than the tractor equals great fitness, and I will miss that. However, like most of you, cars are in my blood, and you never quite get rid of that, so the transition hasn’t been too hard. Like most moves it’s the people that I will miss most - the peninsula is just isolated enough to attract the creative, independent, idiosyncratic types which make the community such an interesting and vibrant place to live. That and the sea views …. and the beach at the end of the farm …. sigh. That said I am looking forward to reconnecting with everyone we left behind when we moved up north and intend to be racing in the next FAE Winter Series, so look out for the loony with the “L” plates wobbling around at the back of the field. Anyway, here comes the blatant plug. Feel free to call in to Ian Humphrey Motors on Tremaine Ave and have a chat and a coffee anytime. And if you are looking for a car, well you can be assured of a great Manawatu Car Club member only deal!! I recently went to watch the newly released Ford vs Ferrari movie.

    B Manawatu Car Club Inc Magazine December 2020 Page 1 of 52 EDITORSPEAK… email: [email protected] November has been hectic, from both a personal and work view, so I can only apologize that the magazine is a little later than usual. It is my fault entirely. The stress involved with finally selling our property in Auckland and organizing making the big move back to the Manawatu happen at the end of November (without a home to go to as I write) has just added to the pressure of being busy at work. I didn’t realize just how much “stuff” we had accumulated, all of which needed to be moved somewhere, although a very thorough cull went on and rest assured most of it wasn’t car related!! Plus, we have been trying to work out how to deal with the animals which we want to bring down. Add in some rather awkward buyers and the stress levels have been pretty high. Uncertainty ahead, hell no, only opportunities if I can open my eyes wide enough to see them!! Although I worked at the yard the weekend of the MG Classic meeting, I did make it over to the circuit on Sunday (my first time at this meeting for some years) to support Ian who was racing his XR8. And what a great meeting it was. Beautiful weather, a huge grid of Central Muscle cars, in fact BIG grids in every class, and superb racing, with MCC members featuring prominently. There are certainly some stunning race cars out there and even a wander through the carpark found some gems.
