FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK

Hi Everybody

Firstly I would like to thank all of you for the fantastic support of the events so far this year, the real sense of mateship within this club continues to make it the great club it is. I thank each and everyone of you for the awesome support you give. We all enjoy getting together and having a whole lot of fun each time.

Sunday July 20th Breakfast and Happy Laps at Lakeside Raceway - what a great morning this was. The Lakeside Track has a very great facility for the breakfast, then a play on the track is just the icing on the cake. Peter Woods has to be congratulated for organizing a great event with 74 people attending and 40 cars on track for the fun laps.

Friday July 25th The General Meeting at Eagers Holden and HSV Windsor deserve a Huge Accolade for hosting a sensational night for the Club and its members starting with the barbecue then the main meeting. Di Batley had the venue totally organized as well as the barbecue cooking by the time we all arrived,Thank you Di you did a sensational job. We were privileged to have Mark and Julian from Walkinshaw Performance join us as guest speakers on the night and give us an insight into what is happening in the Performance workshop and some of the exciting things about to happen in the near future. A huge Thank You to Mark and Julian as well as Mark providing us with a sensational prize for the Raffell on the night being a Walkinshaw Golf Cart. Thank You again Mark and Julian for your massive support of the Owners Club and it is always a pleasure to have both of you join us for a Club event.

Something a bit different from our guest speakers was Patrick from Pimp My Floor. Patrick spoke on how to have your garage floor renovated with his unique product and make that garage befitting of parking a HSV in it. I think we have all looked at the garage floor and said at one time I must do something with it, Patrick was able to give us a solution as well as he is a car enthuasist himself.

Mick from Immersion Imagining and Phil from Northfield McGregor presented the range of Surf City car care products to our members after an absence of

these products from the market for the past couple of years. These are quality car care products that I personally used for a long time until they become unavailable in the market now we have them available through Mick and Phil again. Justin Bath Sales Manager for Eagers Holden and HSV and Will Lawson HSV Sales Specalist welcomed the club to the dealership and offered some special deals on the night. Thank You to all our guest speakers and our hosts Eagers Holden and HSV Windsor for making the night as informative as it was.

V8 Supercars Ipswich 400 at Queensland Raceway 1-3 AugustWhat a weekend it was with great racing, great pit walks and a Sunday morning track walk with all the V8 supercars parked on the grid with their respective drivers ready to sign anything and everything. Thank you to Steve Hallam from Tekno Autosport for giving us a pit walk and talk on the many things that affect the performance of a V8 supercar in a race. A huge thank you to Motorama Springwood, Joel Mullins and his Team for providing us with a fantastic barbecue breakfast and lunch. Every year Joel and his team at Motorama HSV Springwood go out of their way to make the Sunday at the Ipswich 400 a great day at the V8 Supercars with their fantastic support as well as we enjoyed the company of Joel Jnr for his very first V8 Super car weekend. Just like dad he is going to be a car boy,every time a race car went by he had a giggle and had to have a look at what was going on. Thank you to all of our Club members that supported the event for the weekend,by Sunday night I was ready for an early one and I would imagine everybody that went for the 3 days felt the same way.Great to see so many of our Club members on the weekend, and the icing on the cake was Sunday when James Courtney won by 5.88 seconds, he was home having lunch when Craig Loundes arrived. Just had to throw that one in for Craig Barrass!!!! Joel Mullins and I are working on the next Ipswich 400 next year with something very special for everybody to enjoy!!!!

The sudden and tragic death of one of our Fellow Club Members Brad Lane has taken the Car Club Community by surprise and has really underlined the importance of safety when we are working on our pride and joy’s.

The HSV Owners Club Qld is asking for your support to help raise money for several of Brad’s Nominated Charities and to say Farewell to Brad.

The show is being held at the Rocklea Showgrounds and the cost of entry for the day is $25 per car (Inc one Passenger). We will be meeting at Pegg Rd (just off Goburra st) so we can get into model order, sort out entry and payment. To help things run smoother, we will meet at 7.30am so we are ready to enter the Showgrounds at 8.30am. Our Club Display needs 50 Cars Minimum & because Brad owned a HDT it would only be fitting that we have a good support of HDTs on the day.

So we can organise the display please advise Craig Barrass on 0411 344 517.

Please show your support!

The club will be attending the inaugural “Festival of Elegance, Water-Wheels-Wings” Show ‘n Shine on the Gold Coast, October 18th and 19th. The show n shine is part of a larger event spanning 5 days over multiple venues and is being billed as a future “Pebble Beach of the Gold Coast” style event.

Members can join in for either one, or both days of the Show ‘n Shine. The Friday night, there is also an optional welcome BBQ/drinks free of charge for entrants.

Being the first year of this event, the club has negotiated to secure prime position at the general Show n Shine venue, Damian Leeding Park - Oxenford, right near the M1. The venue is perfect to showcase a massive amount of cars, bikes, hotrods and boats, being located right next to Regatta Lake alongside the Coomera River. The club’s position is on bitumen just inside the entry to the site.

There will be trade stalls, rides for kids, fine art displays, great food, local wines and hot cars. This event has the potential to be huge in coming years, but like every event, the inaugural years needs everyone’s support in order for it to succeed for future years.

Entry fee for this event also includes a club produced commemorative shirt, celebrating the HSVOC involvement in the inaugural year, including both the club and the event logos embroidered on a stylish polo shirt. Entry for both days is $45 total which includes one commemorative shirt. The entry fee is the same regardless whether you attend one or both days.

Some members have sourced accommodation at Sanctuary Cove.

Festival of Elegance Water - Wheels - Wings18th & 19th October 2014

There is no specific club deal for this accommodation as they could not offer one. If you are interested - contact Craig Barrass for more information.

The event organisers will have security overnight, plus the club is organising our own security overnight Saturday for our vehicles parked at the Show n Shine. For those not staying overnight in the area, you are also most welcome to remove your vehicle on Saturday and return Sunday.

Judging categories are still being finalised, but will be very similar HSV/HDT categories to the Toowoomba All Holden Day, so plenty of chances to take a gong! Judging will take place on the Saturday.

Due to the event rules, there is an entry form to complete - which you can download via the calendar posting, and member downloads area on our club website, otherwise, if you would like one emailed to you, just let me know. Complete the form and return to [email protected], and payment is also made to the club ASAP after submitting your entry form.

This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the HSV Owners Club to another audience and what better place to do it then on the Gold Coast, and we look forward to seeing you all there!

If you have any questions or require further information, please contact Andrew Roberts on 0400 556 662 or Craig Barrass on 0411 344 517.
