If you have already renewed and not selected The Oily Rag option, contact Membership Officer (see page 2) You can contribute to or advertise in The Oily Rag, just send copy to Peter Walsh or [email protected] Vale Charles Jardine It is with a great deal of sadness that The Festival of Sporting Cars informs all those with an interest in motorsport, of the passing of Event Director and "all round good bloke", Charles Jardine: - Husband -Father -Teacher - Musician - Motorsport Competitor, Official and Event Director Extraordinaire. From the halycon days at Warwick Farm in the 60's; through Amaroo Park in the 70's, 80's and 90's; to the Festival of Sporting Cars in the 21st Century - Charles "had been there and done that". If you wanted to compete, or just become involved in club level motorsport, Charles was your friend - unless you misbehaved. Good friend Lisa Tobin-Smith puts it succinctly, "he encouraged motorsport instead of motor racing".

In addition, there is also the Townsville and Gold Coast Supercar events (with the latter to be held under lights for the first time), plus the usual International events, such as Asian Le Mans Series, and Australian Grand Prix.

  • 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.

Small, slight, and delicately - made or proportioned, quick, agile and delicate ( as in movement or thought ), having an otherworldly, unearthly or magical quality. - Webster’s Dictionary. 2 ELFIN OWNERS and DRIVERS CLUB Inc. 2019 marks the start of another exciting year for all Elfin enthusiasts. Can you believe it, 60 years of Elfin! It’s amazing to think that the cars we love had their beginnings in 1959, when GARRIE COOPER started building those wonderful Streamliners.. During this special year we’ll feature some of the champions – the cars and the people that have made Elfin so special; but right now the focus is on some of the key events to highlight this landmark year. Stay tuned for updates throughout the year! Late last year our President MIKE BARKER informed me of his decision to resign from the post at the start of 2019 due to his many obligations with family and racing. I would sincerely like to thank him for stepping up to the mark following BRIQUE’s sudden death and for his support over the past two years. It has been greatly appreciated. His last official duty on behalf of the EODC was representing the club at the CAMS Awards Night. What was our award I wonder? Details are included later in the newsletter. GEOFF KELLY has been ‘encouraged’ to step into the role of President and I am delighted to announce that he has accepted the challenge. As a matter of urgency Geoff, has already taken th up his duties and will be formally introduced to members at the 60 Anniversary celebrations at The Bend, although many of you may catch up with him at the Phillip Island Classic Festival of Motorsport in March.
