From the President
I have just returned from a driving holiday, which Jen and I
thoroughly enjoyed, across Australia. While driving between
Norseman and Eucla I was reminded that several of our Club
members would be travelling the same road to Phillip Island for the
historic events and others to Launceston to compete in Targa
Tasmania. Later in the year cars from the Eastern States, New Zealand
and overseas will be crossing in the opposite direction for the
Shannon’s Perth Classic, in October, which is part of the international
Diamond Jubilee celebrations for Formula Junior. Following that, a contingent of 12 FJ cars
and drivers (most are VSCC members) will be travelling east to race at Sandown and Sydney
then on to the international races in America and Europe. Thinking about all this made me
realize how much Western Australian historic motor sport has grown and how much the
VSCC has contributed to that growth both here, in the East and across the Tasman.
I hope members have noticed the improvement in the Vintage Metal since Editor Bob
Campbell took over the reins. He is doing a wonderful job but needs contributions from
you; it would be great to have more articles about individual members who have led
interesting lives, have unusual restoration stories to share or have amazing car collections.
(See Mark Duder's story in the March edition.)
Bob will also be happy to publish “letters to the editor” regarding issues the Management
and Competition Committees are grappling with, such as receiving the VM in electronic
form or the controversial eligibility criteria for invited cars that don’t meet the category five
rules but wish to enter our events. You may have ideas for the 30th anniversary celebrations
that you would like to share.
I hope to catch up with you all at the Northam Motor Sport Festival. The combined efforts
of the Northam team, headed by Randle Beavis, and the VSCC promise an action-packed
two day event.
Keep safe.
Rob Ozanne
