    The Orange Times Bruce McLaren Trust June / July 2014, Issue #2 Farewell Sir Jack 1926 - 2014 Along with the motorsport fraternity worldwide I was extremely saddened to th hear of Sir Jack’s recent passing on the 19 May. The McLaren family and Jack have shared a wonderful life-long friendship, starting with watching his early racing days in New Zealand, then Pop McLaren purchasing the Bobtail Cooper from Jack after the NZ summer racing season of 1957. For the following season of 1958, Jack made the McLaren Service Station in Remuera his base and brought the second Cooper with him from the UK for Bruce to drive in the NZIGP which culminated in Bruce being awarded the Celebrating 50 Years of “Driver to Europe”. Jack became his mentor and close friend and by 1959 McLaren Racing Bruce joined him as teammate for the Cooper Racing Team. The rest, as we say, is history but the friendship lived on and the BM Trust Following on from their Tasman Series was delighted to host Jack in New Zealand for a week of motorsport memories success, the fledgling BMMR Team set about in 2003 with Jack requesting that the priority of the trip was to be a visit to their very first sports car race with the Zerex see his “NZ Mum” Ruth McLaren, who, by then, was a sprightly 97 years old. th Special – on April 11 1964 at Oulton Park and I shared a very special hour with the two of them together and the love and this was a DNF/oil pressure.

  • The First Elfin "Works" 1500 Chassis No. 625 Driver Frank Matich
    The First Elfin "Works" 1500 Chassis No. 625 Driver Frank Matich In Late 1962 Garrie Cooper sent a number of Elfin products to the Sydney Motor show to display what the South Australian manufacturer was producing at that time. On the stand were 2 Formula Juniors, one with the normal 1100cc engine the other with 1475cc, a Clubman and a rolling chassis with gearbox fitted. At the conclusion of the Motor Show, Elfin invited all the leading drivers to Warwick Farm to test the 3 cars. The Elfin stand Sydney Motor Show later September 1962 SCW On the Test day quite a few of the leading drivers of the time turned up to sample what Elfin had produced. These included Johnny Martin, David McKay, Alan Ferguson, Charlie Smith, Doug Kelly, Bruce Polain, Arnold Glass, Peter Williamson and of course Frank Matich and others. In the end Garrie Cooper saw that Matich had got the most out of the cars that day and asked him to be their agent for NSW and to use the cars in competition to further expose Elfin to the wider racing fraternity. Elfin FJ 625 becomes the "Works" 1500 Driver Frank Matich After the test day, Garrie left 625 (now fitted with the 1500 engine) in Matich's care to run in the Hordern Trophy race in mid October. 627 returned with Garrie to the factory to have modifications made to it at Matich's suggestion. Apparently Frank had a few tricks he wanted to try in the other chassis and Garrie took it back to Adelaide to incorporate them.

Kim has kindly supplied a report but a dearth of photos is evident. This is probably due to the fact that rarely were two FJ cars seen together – lost in a maze of more modern sports and racing cars, with different power and handling characteristics and driver capabilities and attitudes. The Phillip Island Classic is the Premier Historic Race Meeting in Australia, and well run by the VHRR with help from the Mini Club. Our cars were mixed up with M & O Sports and Racing (1961 – 1970) in a large field of 50 cars. Racing side by side with a Lola T70 and various wide treaded Sports Cars is not nice and the sooner we can achieve the numbers to race with similar cars, the happier we will all be.

  • Gene Mason Racing 74 Maple Street for IMMEDIATE RELEASE Stoneham, Mass
    CONTACT: Rick Foltz Gene Mason Racing 74 Maple Street FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Stoneham, Mass. Skip Barber is the biggest threat to the Hogan Racing domina• tion of the L&M Continental Series. Skip is the number-one driver for the Gene Mason Racing Team. He will be piloting the radically changed March 711. The new car has been completely re-engineered from chassis design to cooling system by the capable engineers at the Gene Mason shop located in Stoneham, Massachusetts. Skip is the type of driver everyone respects, and is consid• ered by many to be one of the best single-seat drivers in North America. He has a determined and confident attitude about himself and the people he works with. It is this strong character, coupled with a keen mental awareness, that first excelled Skip through Har• vard University, and then, to many individual achievements in amateur racing. In 196 7 Skip placed higher than any other independent in the Can-Am series standings. He won the National Championship for Formula Ford in 1969. The Formula B championship was added to his credit in 1970 as well as successfully defending his Formula Ford title. Starting at the back of the field in the Formula Ford race, he outdrove the eighteen best drivers in the country to become the only National Champion in two classes that year. In 1971 Skip cam• paigned Gene Mason's March in the Grand Prix Circuit. This year the L&M Continental Championship is their goal. GENE MASON^ OWNER The tall handsome fellow you see in the pits holding Skip Barber's lap board is Gene Mason, the formidable Philadelphia attorney.

  • Chevron Formula 5000 Cars in the SCCA Championship by Wolfgang
    Chevron Formula 5000 cars in the SCCA Championship by Wolfgang Klopfer After much success with sportscars British racing car manufacturer Chevron presented its first F5000 machine early in 1972. The sturdy-looking B24 had the the radiators in a distinctive wide front section. Well known entrant Sid Taylor brought the prototype B24 to Watkins Glen for the third round of the SCCA F5000 series. Brian Redman was the driver. He qualified tenth and came through to win the first heat despite severe tire trouble. To score the overall win Redman only needed a good finish in the second race. But the Englishman was out of luck. Suspension trouble and a flat battery eight laps from the end stopped the Chevron. At Road America Redman again led for six laps in the first heat until the suspension broke. Peter Gethin deputized for the F1-committed Redman at the next round at Donnybrooke and again the B24 showed good form. Gethin was in first place when another suspension failure took him out. Starting from 17th place in the second heat Gethin drove magnificentally. After two laps he was fifth, got fourth on the sixth lap and had the lead on the eighth circuit. When the chequered flag fell, Gethin was 14 seconds in front. Redman was back at Road Atlanta and brought Chevron designer Derek Bennett with him. Bennett strengthened the B24`s suspension which had been the weak point of the car. That certainly helped Redman to take a dominant win in the first heat. Second place man Brett Lunger was 17 seconds behind.
