Positive thoughts for 2021 to be a much less disruptive year than the last one and that Historic Motorsport around the country gets back on track. Off track, 2021 starts with sadness from the passing of Brian Shead, the man behind the highly successful Cheetah racing cars. Brian, like Garrie Cooper, Frank Matich, and Brabham, were all excellent engineers as well as drivers that sought to improve their designs at every opportunity. They were passionately driven to make the best open wheel race cars in the country and In Brabhams case, it was the world. They leave behind an immense legacy for us all to enjoy through Historic Motorsport. I am not so sure that history will afford such admiration to the current crop of supercar engineers where performance gains are more in the realms of data analysts. Stay safe and healthy Ian Welsh 2021 Membership Renewal Reminder Hello HRCC Members, It’s Jim Goulden here letting you know that club membership for the 2021 year is now due for renewal.

One of these objectives was to produce a reference online parts, tools and service booklet for ‘members only’ through the HRCC website, to refer to when they need something to get their car going or to get them back into competition. We are now calling for nominations from members, firms or individuals who supply such goods or services.

    The HSRCA 1960s Racing Cars - Groups M & O Newsletter No 23 – July 2013 Ed Holly, HSRCA M & O Registrar [email protected] th 24 July 2013 The views expressed in this newsletter are not necessarily those of the Historic Sports and Racing Car Association, the HSRCA, nor necessarily those of the editor. The newsletter exists for the benefit of all those who have an interest in the 1960s racing cars, and especially the owners and drivers of these wonderful machines. They say behind every great man there is a great woman … Jan Neal, Herb’s wife doing her knitting whilst Herb gets the Neal Ford Mk2 he built back in 1968 ready for the next race. Jan has been going with Herb to race meetings for nigh on 50 years. With the weather on the weekend maybe Jan had the right idea! Herb you are a lucky man. Photo taken at Sydney Motorsport Park over that wet weekend. Sydney Motorsport Park HSRCA Winter meeting – 29 / 30 June 2013 Photos by Peter Schell …. [email protected] The 2 days of this meeting corresponded with the 24th and 25th consecutive days of rain in the Sydney basin. All of the M and O events were rain affected. Many of the photographers were getting around in gumboots, the off track areas being so sodden that trying to drive or control a car on them was impossible, and more than one car was bogged trying to regain the track after an off. Added to this was our first use of the longer Brabham circuit incorporating a series of slow S-bends, a hairpin, and a climbing rather tight right hander all this replacing one of the best corners on the GP circuit, the blind sweeper around Corporate Hill.
