FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK

Hi Everyone.

Hope you all have had a great start to 2016!!!!

We are all looking forward to an action packed year with many great events planned or in the planning for 2016. We started with the Unofficial Cruise on Sunday 10th January with 36 cars and 78 members and family joining in on a cruise north with the first pit stop being at the Glass House Township Information Centre car park gathering everybody together for the next leg, to the Kenilworth Township and Hotel for Lunch. Cruising in convoy along the Bruce Highway in those shiny, stunning HDTs & HSVs always attract a lot of public attention where ever we go and this cruise was no exception. The Kenilworth Hotel certainly are renowned for their great food, and as was said by many that attended, best hotel food we have had to date. A huge thank you to the members and their families that supported this event, hope you all had a great time. This is always a great time to catch up after Christmas and New Year celebrations as well as stretch the legs of the cars for the beginning of the New Year. Friday 29th January 2016 - General Meeting held at Motorama Holden and HSV Moorooka. First meeting for 2016 and again the Team at Motorama Moorooka headed by Simon Guthrie DP and Allan Carter Sales Manager were fantastic hosts, providing pizzas and drinks to start the night off and a great venue for the meeting. A Big Thank You to Simon, Allan, Jason and Michael for hosting the night. What a great way to start the year for the Club. We had some great quest speakers starting with Mark Beresford giving some great background into the beginnings of the fuel injected Holden V8 motor and what model Holden it was fitted into for the initial testing, then being released in the VL GPA Walkinshaw some time later. Thank you Mark for this great information, as a number of us did not know how it all began, however we have enjoyed owning and driving these cars over the years and many still do.

Adam Shaw from Ctrack spoke about their car tracking devices and the cost of running after installed, however with the car theft again on the rise, nothing is too expensive that can protect us from having those Classics and Current HSVs & HDTs from

being stolen or at least being recovered should the most soul destroying misfortune happen to you, perpetrated by some low life individual. I like the way the wild west handled the stealing of their most prized possession – their horse. If and when they were caught a public hanging was immediately instigated. I guess that got the message across to thieves and would be thieves, the consequences were not good. Something needs to be put in place that has huge consequences for car thieves, it would stop almost overnight. Extreme - yes!!! Until you have had your pride and joy stolen, then nothing is too much for these fellows.

Note: Don’t leave your car keys sitting on a bench or cupboard in the house.Take your car keys with you when you leave the house, especially if the car is not an every day drive and sits at home when you’re not. Alarm the garage as well as the home. Have bollards fitted in front of garage doors so when they break in they still cant get the car out. The only way a modern car can be started is with the keys. DON’T leave the keys where the thieves can break into your home, grab the keys and take off in YOUR car. They will break into your home while you are sleeping, they don’t care if you wake up and catch them, more likely than not they are desperate drug affected individuals that will think nothing of doing you serious harm should you catch them. Protect yourself and your pride and joy. Mathew from Auto One Browns Plains was kind enough to bring along Mark Hardyman whose family founded the company called Redline Car Care products - the importers of Meguiars and now for some time the importers of the Surf City Car Care Range as well. In America the Surf City Car Care Range is known as the fastest growing and one of the biggest sellers of car care products as well as being distributed now throughout the world, well certainly to countries that have people that care about their cars and collect classics. I am sure if you haven’t used Surf City products before, when you do for the first time, you will be impressed with their ease of use.

Thanks to all of the Members that attended the first Meeting for 2016 and supported the Club and host dealership on the night. UPCOMING EVENTS Saturday 27th February 2016 - Lakeside Sprints (This will book out quickly so contact Peter Woods) to book in.

Nothing yet as the 2016 season hasn’t started. However I have been watching the results for the Bathurst 12 hour while putting together this report and What a Result for Tekno. On Saturday Shane Van Gisbergen qualified the Tekno McLaren 1st on the grid with a shattering lap time that will take a long time to beat – the quickest lap time at this event ever. Congratulations Shane. The car was driven by Jonathon Webb, Alvaro Perente and Shane Van Gisbergen for the 12 hour race. On Sunday Shane had the car in first spot for the first 3 hour stint, changed drivers to Perente who put it back to 2nd spot and now it is being driven by Johathon. With 2 hours & 28 minutes to go the McLaren is sitting in third sport after a driver, fuel and tyre change great result. There is more for Tekno with the running of a 2nd McLaren driven by Bell, Watson & Davison and it is sitting 7th. They have 2 cars in the Top Ten in one of Australia’s Premier Races. Well done to the Tekno Team. After this Betty will be coming to get some pointers on how Tekno does it.

Note: Tekno with Shane, Alvaro & Jonathon bought the McLaren Home in 1st Place!!!!! Thank you all for your Fantastic Support and look forward to catching up with you all soon.

*Queensland Raceway have given us special entry for a sprint group on the Sunday of their Two Days of Thunder event Saturday and Sunday 11th and 12th June 2016. Note this is an all day sprint event. It is a chance for our sprinters to run in front of a decent crowd and we will be supporting the Sunday Show and Shine as well. We need our sprinters and our members to get behind this event to repay the privilege afforded to us this year. A field of 15 sprinters and good numbers for the show and shine from non-sprinting members would be excellent to see. There is plenty to see at this event with many other categories including some keenly fought racing categories. It is also customary for lunchtime laps of the track for show and shine participants.

For QR scoring please check their website. The major club trophy will be done using the regularity format again with trophies at the end of the year for first to third. We will also be issuing a trophy for fastest over the 4 events as well (scoring will be done on 3 out of 4).

There will be at least 3*4 lap sessions plus passenger ride session at discretion of track management - time permitting.

The cost is $150 per car payable to the club by cash or cheque on the day. Other costs apart from running costs are QR AASA track licence of $55 per year or $20 per day. A timing device can be bought for $80.00 which will last for approx 7 years or can be hired for $20 a day with an $80 deposit required with $60 refund upon return. Helmet hire is available for $5.00 a day. QR operates EFTPOS facilities at both tracks for Licence, Transmitter, and helmet hire.

Participants should make themselves aware of safety equipment requirements by visiting QR website but in short it is helmet, long sleeve shirt, long pants and

shoes. If running a full competition harness the club strongly recommends the use of a Hans type neck restraint.

Entries will need to be done via QR Website and you need to first register as a user then go to event date and click on HSV group to complete your entry for each session. Please email me when you have done this so I know who is coming. Entries will be on a first in first served basis and should be done a week in advance wherever possible. If you want late entry please phone Peter Woods on 0428723612 to check availability. Note Do not complete your credit card details on line with QR (except for Licence). When asked for Credit Card details for the event use HSV Owners Card number 9999 9999 9999 9999 and expiry 09/19. Payment is made on the day to club via cash/chq or Credit card.

Entrants should arrive at track at approx 11.45 for sign in with the drivers briefing normally taking place approximately 12.15pm with first groups on track around 1.00pm.

Expected finish time is 4.00pm. Prospective entrants should check the motorsport tab on our website to view handy tips for vehicle preparation for the sprints.

If you want to race this is not the event for you. If you want to stretch your cars legs and improve your driving skills we would love to have you along. You should also be aware that your car is unlikely to be covered by comprehensive insurance for any damage whilst on track.

This event is run cost neutral and we do not make a profit from it.Event Finish: approx. 9.00am.

Please note – Unfortunately Lakeside raceway has many sensitive neighbors so to help Queensland Raceways reputation and our own could you please ensure that we arrive and exit the venue and surrounds in a manner not designed to attract attention. We want the venue to keep its community licence to operate well into the future.

Rules for Happy Laps – (They may seem onerous but the vast majority attending will have participated before and have always left smiling and asking to do it again – So here’s your chance)

HAPPY LAPS ARE NOT HOT LAPS or TEST LAPS. Happy Laps are for family cruising NOT performance driving. So, Any car-to-car contact is an instant stop for the session, Any car going off the track is an instant stop for the session, >1 sec of tyre smoke is an instant stop for the session, Speed obviously in excess of 120kph is an instant stop for the session; this is more than fair as there are sprints and drag events that hot drivers can participate in if they want to go fast.

In addition, during Happy Laps;No helmets are to be worn by anybodyNo unregistered or trailered cars are permitted on the trackNo cars fitted with aftermarket roll cagesAll cars must have current registration and plates must not be obscuredDrivers may be breath tested including by the Police - anyone reading more than 0.00 will be banned from the trackQR will name and shame drivers who push the limits and cause a session to be cancelled

RSVP – Final numbers are needed by Tuesday prior to event so see dates above and via email [email protected]. Please indicate your name and number attending. If you want to pay by Credit Card in advance we need your, number, expiry and ccv and I will process Friday before the event. The club has to advise and pay in advance so if you advise your attendance we need your payment. The event is being run at no profit to keep prices reasonable so what we charge is what we have to pay QR.

I look forward to seeing you there for Breakfast and some fun on one of the most iconic race tracks in Australia and one steeped in a rich motorsport history.
