HISTORIC RACE MEETING DATES SET FOR 2015 At the recent Australian Historic Motor Racing Clubs (AHMRC) meeting, delegates were able to confirm the following dates for 2015. A co-operative attitude prevailed, providing separation from interstate Historic Meetings, enabling Members of all Clubs to compete interstate as well as at home. HRCC depends on strong participation from interstate Competitors to help make our Race Meetings the success they have been, and considerable numbers of HRCC Members travel to interstate Meetings regularly, which helps those organising Clubs and of course a great time is had by all!

First up is the proposed adoption of the Draft Constitution which will be voted on at the General Meeting on Monday 20th October. I can only reiterate the published memo (see website) on the subject and recommend your positive vote for this modern and constructive Constitution. Many thanks to Milton Brennan and the Committee for the work that has gone into this project. Our big event for this time of year is Noosa/THE HILL, now in its 17th running! A diverse field of 145 cars will contest the spectacular Gyndier Drive climb in the Tewantin National Forest. The Hill is a joint venture of Noosa Beach Classic Car Club and HRCC, with Alan Steel being the long time and hard working HRCC leader of the event. There are more improvements to the track and the facilities for 2014 and the local authorities are to be thanked for their assistance, but it’s mainly the work of the volunteers of the NBCCC who drive this project. There will be a pre-event Working bee on Saturday 25th October from 8am and HRCC Members are urged to lend a hand, it’s mainly grass and fallen sticks, etc to be tidied up but it’s a big area and many hands…. Next month’s Annual General Meeting notices have been published on our website already and repeated in this “Historic Torque”. All Committee positions are open for election and while some Members will offer to continue in their roles, we really need several new Committee Members who have the passion to take on a portfolio and make a serious contribution to the present and the future of the Club. We propose in the near future to be seeking assistance with these roles from Members who have a particular interest, eg a Race Group or a promotional role. Your serious consideration is requested. Committee nominations must be in the hands of the Secretary by Monday 27th October (see notices on page11). John Tupicoff is keen to hear from anyone who feels he can make a solid contribution to the preparation for the �Autumn Historics’ and �Historic Queensland’. These are big events and don’t happen by themselves. Some new faces on the Race Committee and the Volunteer list would be welcome. (see bottom of page 6). Many thanks to John Tupicoff, Chris Fry, Tony Hastings and the Group N committee for their background effort to make this weekend’s Ipswich Classic work for the Members involved. You might like to go and watch them play!
