Nelsons Column 

-April 2010 


A few months ago, I wrote about problems we 

were experiencing with CAMS, and included the 

following note –“Within such an organization, while 

the structure and constitution may be appropriate, 

micro-management and individual decisions 

made by key individuals still have a great bearing 

on the effectiveness of the organization. At the 

moment I think CAMS is tending to lean in the 

wrong direction.” 

With the CEO, Graham Fountain now having left 

to another pasture, it will be interesting to see 

where the organization goes. I believe Graham 

did have some good attributes and he certainly 

changed the face of CAMS in the few years he 

was there, but he also changed the image of CAMS 

in a way that was leaving the members confused 

and frustrated at times, and downright insulted 

at other times. 

When the organization is primarily there to service 

the members and assist them in their desire 

to enjoy their chosen form of motorsport, their 

needs have to be paramount and we hope that 

CAMS can get back to presenting this face to 

the world. There is still every opportunity for 

this to happen because they are not financially 

broke (although a struggle each year) and they 

have some very good people working there. It 

is just a different type of leadership that is 

needed, one that brings out the best in the staff 

and the members, and is still able to deal with 

the business of keeping CAMS respected, stable 

and in credit. 

I know it has been a difficult time for Angus Black, 

our Victorian delegate to the CAMS Board, and for 

David Bellenger who is Chairman of the Victorian 

Sport and Development Council, but I have no doubt 

they have not run out of steam yet, and will be in 

there doing what they can to recover lost ground 

and reinstate the goodwill that is necessary to keep 

it all heading in the right direction. PIARC is still 

prepared to strongly support the CAMS concept 

and would hope that we get asked to assist when 

that is appropriate. 

The Victorian Task Force is still in existence and 

it will be interesting to see where this goes now 

that the Chairman (the CEO) is no longer in that 

role. No findings or comments have been issued at 

this time so we are yet to find out what direction 

it is taking but I am led to believe they have had 

a number of good submissions and a fair bit of 

material to work on. 

On another subject all together, the 75 th 

Australian Grand Prix has been run and won, and 

again we have presented a world-class event to the 

fans. While there were some management issues 

that need to be sorted out, the actual events on 

the track all went off with the usual drama, 

titillated by rain right at the start of the AGP itself. 

With that, and the deletion of fuel stops, the race 

maintained a high level of interest right through 

and was one of the better GP in recent years.

Nelsons Column 

Cont. 


The support events created their own dramas and 

did not reflect too well on our local motor racing 

scene. A number of events, primarily GT and Formula 

Ford, had to be stopped with the red flag 

and were not able to be re-started because of 

time limitations. In each case above, the spread 

of debris and oil was too extensive for it to be 

cleaned up under the Safety Car control and hence 

the red flags. 

Race driving at this level must be about skill and 

not raw aggression and most major incidents tend 

to come from displays of aggression rather than 

skill. Unfortunately, this appears to be a missed 

lesson to too many drivers. The Brocks and Richards 

of the world have always demonstrated the 

highest level of skill and their clean racing never 

left us disappointed or frustrated. Nor did it leave 

other drivers with abandoned races, or with big 

repair bills. 

It is difficult for officials to control 

over-aggression because it can be too subtle to 

show up on the TV screen much of the time, but 

my belief is that we must take more action. This 

applies to wheels in the dirt, cutting corners, 

dangerous re-entry, weaving, charging into spaces 

too small to be possible and other similar actions 

which we are all familiar with. We have to tone all 

this down to what “we all” agree is tolerable for 

the sake of the 95% of drivers who do not carry 

out those practices. 

To act further, I believe Race Control and 

senior Track Officials need to sit down and fully 

agree on what is considered unacceptable, then a 

procedure needs to be put in place whereby Race 

Control accepts reports from participating senior 

trackside officials, and takes immediate action 

against the driver/s involved. In case where there 

is any doubt, there is still room for enquiries and 

hearings, but where the expert witnesses have 

no doubt, then action is necessary on the spot. A 

common reaction to this concept is “what of the 

driver is innocent and is still penalized?” 

My answer is that currently we are seeing far too 

many drivers penalized by being pushed off the 

track, by having their cars damaged extensively, 

by having their races messed up by over-aggressive 

driving outside our own rules, and the risk of the 

odd driver being penalized unfairly is a much more 

remote chance than getting caught up in someone 

else’s incident because they were allowed to get 

away with aggressive behaviour too often. 

Correspondence on the subject will be welcome. 

Best regards, 

Peter Nelson 

President – PIARC.

A Quick Funny From Mark Sully 

A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new 

corvette convertible out of the dealership. 

Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 

mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what 

little hair he had left. “Amazing!” he thought 

as he flew down HWY-75, pushing the pedal to 

the metal even more! 

Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the 

highway patrol behind him, blue lights flashing 

and “I can get away from him, no problem!” 

thought the elderly gent as he floored it to 

100 mph, then 110, then 120. 

Suddenly, he thought, “what am I doing? I’ m 

too old for this nonsense!”, pulled over to the 

side and waited for the Trooper to catch up. 

Pulling in behind him, the Trooper walked up 

to the drivers side of the Corvette, looked at 

his watch and said, “Sir, my shift ends in 30 

minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me one 

good reason why you were speeding that I’ve 

never heard before, I’ll let you go”. 

The man, looking very seriously at the Trooper, 

said, “Years ago, my wife ran off with a Florida 

State Trooper. I thought you were bringing 

her back” 

“Have a good day, Sir,” said the Trooper.

A Load of Bull 


I am sitting here looking out the window at yet 

another sunny Autumn Sunday, our second in a row 

and begging the question after last Saturday and 

Sunday being fantastic weather for our opening 

round of the 2010 Victorian State Circuit racing 

Championship, can next weekend’s Shannons 

Nationals receive the same treatment. 

Socially the news is good with the successful 

launch of the Club’s new regalia at the March 

Clubnight with a fashion parade being a first 

from memory and The Bellenger Goodwood slide 

night in April being most informative and relaxed 

although it would appear aerial photography is not 

one of David’s strong points, according to Jean. 

For some reason the May’s Guest Speaker did 

not make the Clubnight Promotional page but be 

assured we have an excellent guest booked in 

Darren Hossack who has raced everything from 

Billy Karts to Superkarts and won championships, 

from Formula Fords to Supercars, from Speedway 

Speedcars to Speedway Sedans and is most 

familiar to you all as a Sports Sedan National 

Series Winner, in the John Gourlay Saab Chev 

and now the fantastic Audi Chev. 

If that is not enough entertainment then a 

bigger dose is to come in June with John “Fatty” 

Mann being our guest to continue our Heritage 

Series of Speakers with his almost 50 years in 

motor racing in more cars than you would like 

to remember and most of them winners, many 

at the Island. 

Last weekends event was a fantastic start to 

the 2010 Championship with 233 entries and 

turned into a great weekend’s racing with good 

entries in all categories with only two categories, 

Sports Cars and Historic Touring Cars having 

less than 24 cars, which speaks volumes for 

the health of state level racing after our 249 

entries for Island Magic only 5 months back. At 

Island Magic, we had timing failures, indifferent 

weather but generally a good crowd. This last 

weekend we had no timing failures fantastic 

weather a reasonable crowd, good racing a few 

officials missing at the top end but very few 

problems. Well done all. 

With a few seniors missing a couple of people 

stepped into the breach and acquitted themselves 

well, with Roger Sinclair and Savas Toumanidis 

stepping up to fill the Starter and Assistant 

Starter roles quite competently and Dave 

Balcombe picking up Sav’s normal role of rounding 

up podium finishers whilst still being the one and 

only Boundary Rider. Well done to those guys as 

this sort of can do attitude makes our meetings 

a success and good fun to boot. 

I must also mention the pretty much solo stints 

Peter and Dawn did at the gate in the absence of 

Mrs Whitey who was basking in the Queensland 

sun and with Marcia taking it a bit easier after 

some recent surgery. Not that you can hold a 

good woman down as Marcia was still churning 

out the certificates for race winners. Timing 

also was operating with smaller numbers but 

was assisted by Jenny Pillekers who “quietly” 

plodded away as the sole spotter. So quietly in 

fact that John & Stephen went home without her. 

Speaking of club members showing dedication 

and great resolve, Graham Slater who recently 

had his gall bladder removed only to discover 

some cancerous spots on his liver decided the 

only way to fight this insidious disease of cancer 

was to have a race before undertaking more 

treatment. Graham you may have been at the 

back of the field for a change but the smile was 

on the dial and that typifies your attitude to 

life. Fight the good fight, our best wishes and 

support are with you. 

Of the 233 entries last weekend just under 

10% were PIARC members and they all acquitted 

themselves well regardless of where they may 

have finished.

A Load of Bull Cont. 

Our largest field was Improved Production 

with 39 entries of which 5 were members, 

headed by Gary McKay who had slaved away 

all summer following his big Island Magic 

shunt to once again present a pristine 

and blindingly fast Torana XU1 which gave 

him a 3 rd , 8 th and a fighting 6 th . Phil Dunkin 

kept the Holden flag flying with one of his 

understandably to infrequent appearances 

bringing a 5 th and two podiums of 2 nd and 3 rd. 

Wayne Always was a very consistent racer 

with 4 th , 3 rd and 5 th , whilst the Kirkhams, 

Phil and Declan scored DNF, 12 th & 12 th and 

DNF, 19 th & 11 th respectively, a good result 

for both after both cars being in disarray 

after Race.1. 

Ivan Klasan was our sole 944 racer who 

suffered ECU failure in Race 1 and got hit 

by the whole world in a race ending (for all) 

accident that followed. Never say die Ivan 

and his crew worked well into the night 

using boxes of race tape and low and behold 

managed to finish the 10lapper in 7 th . 

Talking in Sports Car mode only Ted Huglin 

back in the Ferrari 360GT (whilst awaiting 

delivery of his new Lamborghini Gallardo) 

and Mort Fitzgerald were our only reps, with 

Ted finishing 6 th , 5 th and 4 th , whilst Mort had 

a perfect score of 2 DNFs and 1 DNS to add 

to his MG results of 1 st (albeit 5 seconds off 

his lap record) and an uncharacteristic pair 

of DNFs. 

Our sole HQ and Formula Vee competitors 

Adam Bywater and Anthony D’Anna added to 

their records with 8 th , 18 th & 9 th for Adam 

and 8 th , 4 th & DNF for Anthony. 

In Historic Touring Cars 20% of the smallish 

18 car field was PIARC, with Stephen Pillekers 

scoring creditable 6 th , 6 th & 5 th whilst Mark 

Brewster turned around a recent bout of 

mechanical failures to score 10th, 9 th and 

6 th indicating he is back and looking for 

improvement. Mustang man David Moran was 

performing well to stay out of trouble and 

score a 10 th & 11 th before an unfortunate 

DNF Whilst the aforementioned Graham 

Slater kept whipping the # 47 Torana XU1 to 

two 13ths and a fighting 7 th in the 10 lapper. 

Neil Bryson had a hat trick of 3rds in his 

Calibra Chev to be a model of consistency 

and comeback man Chris Muscat in the Silver 

Bullet RX7 had his hat trick of 1sts spoilt by a 

flat tyre in Race 1. The other two races were 

dominant wins after last years huge shunt at 

Sandown ruined the year for the men from 

Centreline. 

The Formula Ford / Formula Ford 1600 setup 

from last year has been revamped for this year 

with the Formula Fords starting from the 

front as a group and the state Championship 

Formula Ford 1600 category Starting as the 

second group, two rows behind. That has 

proven a popular move as all the CAMS Rising 

Stars were present to get beaten by young 

PIARC Star Jesse Fenech in all except the 

10 lapper when Matthew Brabham won and 

Jesse had an off to finish a creditable 4 th . 

Our other Formula Fordster was Brendan 

Jones who was consistent in races 1 and 3 

with 12 th & 14 th places but suffered a DNF in 

race 2. Our 3 Formula Ford 1600 competitors 

Ian MacMillan, Wayne Groeger and Jonothan 

Miles finished FF1600/ Overall respectively 

as follows: - 11/27, 11/25, & 13/27, 13/29, 

13/27 & 15/29, with Jonothan DNF, DNF & 

7/18. Now you really are confused I am sure. 

For information, the other 3 rounds of the 

VSCRC are Sandown MGCC May 22/23. 

Sandown ASSA July 24/25 and the final round 

at Phillip Island VMCI September25/26. 

Don’t forget our guest speakers Darren 

Hossack on May 6 th and John Mann on June

activities which are still to be organised 

with exception of the Christmas Auction on

Peter Brock 

PIARC got an advance copy of BROCKY from David Hassall recently and we can thoroughly recommend it 

to all lovers of our sport and of Peter Brock over the years. Peter was a good friend to the club, and many 

of us have followed his racing ever since he started at Phillip Island in the A30 back in the 1960s. This 

book follows his career in detail and the longer your history at the tracks is, the more you will enjoy this 

picture of one of the generation’s Heroes. That is not to say that the younger fans will not enjoy the story 

– it is a fascinating insight into Peter’s career and the people he raced against and David has done it well. 

Considering the racing and winning he did at Phillip Island, it is a little disappointing not to have the circuit 

mentioned at all, but the story does focus on Peter. In that, it is most satisfying – a reasonably light but 

totally enjoyable tracing of the racing. As they say on TV – Order your copy now.

Since The Last Time We Met..... 

A lot has happened and here are some of the 

highlights. 

MEETING AT CAMS (follow-up) 

Following the “Protest Meeting” the Board of CAMS 

has established a Task Force to investigate the 

complaints, under conditions which the Victorian 

Executive originally rejected as being to narrow 

and needing an impartial chairman. Although the 

Chairman remains, the conditions have been 

broadened and it will be interesting to see how 

serious the Board is about addressing the 

problems. In the meantime, the CEO Graham 

Fountain, has resigned and will take on the CEO role 

at the Metropolitan Fire Brigade in April 2010 so 

it will be interesting to see where this all take us. 

PIARC SPRINT – Feb 13/14 Phillip Island. 

The first sprints of the year got off well with 

a busy weekend at the circuit. On Saturday we 

had Superkart racing, a CAMS driver observation 

session, and the usual track familiarization runs. 

Sunday was the traditional Supersprints, using four 

cars at a time. 

SUPERBIKE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 

Phillip Island Feb. 26-28. 

Another peak event for the circuit and one that 

everyone should go to once in their lives to see 

the track at its best. Event the weather was kind 

apart from an incredible thunder storm and rain 

on one of the nights – would have been rough in a 

tent at the track. Over 60000 people turned up 

over the three days and I have no doubt they all 

went home happy. 

AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 

at Albert Park – March 2010 

Strongly supported by PIARC Senior Officials, 

this event went off again as a spectacular start to 

the motor racing year for most of us. Many of the 

support events were marred by incidents which 

required red flags, despite all the good effort by 

Henk as Clerk of the Course and James Taylor running 

the recovery radio. With the program as it is 

at the AGP, if more than about ten minutes is lost 

under red flag for a clean-up, the opportunity is 

lost and the event cancelled. It is a terrible shame 

for those who did not get involved in the incident 

and the various categories are going to have to look 

very seriously at their performances. However, it 

was great practice for Jason Mackay who took over 

as Chief of Recovery from Kage this year – quite an 

introduction, and his team won the Stewards Cup 

for their efforts with the cranes. The Grand Prix 

itself was a great race, starting off as it did in the 

rain, then running through for the full distance in 

relatively good weather. Some of the management 

of the event was not up to scratch and I am sure 

that a lot of work will be put into this area between 

now and next year. 

Other events that have been held but without 

notes being submitted (yet) includes the Historic 

Race Meeting at Phillip Island on the week before 

the AGP, and the 2010 Clipsal in Adelaide on the 

weekend before that. Also of importance was the 

Human Powered 24 hour marathon that Ewan Cole 

presents each year in Wonthaggi – an event that now 

has quite a few of our senior officials being involved. 

Surely someone can put pen to paper (or finger to 

the keyboard) and drop us a line about these event 

that involve e many of our people.

Five Minute Jobs? 

We’ve all of two-minute noodles that take over 

five minutes to cook. 

This five-minute job took well over that, 

I got a phone call from a bus/coach company; I’ve 

never done work for this company before and after 

this job I really don’t want to do another job 

for them. This guy stated it’s only a “five minute 

job” all you I want you to do is wire up the rear 

mount TV, we’ve wired it every way possible and 

it doesn’t work. 

When I got there sure enough the TV didn’t work 

it was dead, no power to it. I’d managed to trace 

one of the main earths (neg power) all the way 

to the front of the coach; this involved removing 

most of the inside overhead panels and ventilation 

system. This was at the 16-hour point. The look 

on the owner’s face was unexplainable, after he 

saw the inside of his coach in bits but I had to 

fix the problem. 

I eventually found the problem in the 23 hour 

point at the front of the coach, it turn out to be 

a rusty earth bolt, which also prevented other 

electrical items from not working properly. Not 

only was the TV now working so was other electrics 

in the coach. Including the fuel gauge that now 

read properly 

36 hrs later with the coach back together, I almost 

had a happy customer (the invoice was negotiated 

and paid). As for the old TV it worked on the bench 

and in the coach. So much for a FIVE Minute Job

Remember "Back When??" 

PIARC, SOME 30 YEARS AGO 

(checking out from September 1977) 

- #99 in the series 

Big news of the month was that the 1978 Australian 

Grand Prix had been allocated to PIARC at the 

Phillip Island Circuit, and the plans were to run 

this event at a date to be settled, and also to run 

the 50 th Jubilee Australian Grand Prix celebrations 

in March 1978, in conjunction with the Vintage 

Sports Car Club who already had an enthusiastic 

sponsor in Lance Dixon from Doncaster. The 

Jubilee event was to comprise a run around the 

original road course by historic race cars, led by 

cars that actually raced on those roads in 1927 or 

in the subsequent years before the event left the 

Island. The Sunday was to be a full-blown historic 

race meeting on the current track. As the club 

magazine said in September 1977, 

“1978 will be a very good year”. 

As an aside from our plans, the Australian F5000 

competitors had formed together into the “Australian 

Formula One Group” chaired by Jon Davison. 

Their plans were to have their cars known as 

Australian F1, to organize better prize money for 

the entrants, to have qualifying sessions for their 

gridding (with a cut off point of 110% of the best 

times, to have ll races over 120km and these race 

would then count towards the ANF1 Championship, 

and to have these races all be recognized as the 

highest status in the country and not as support 

events for other categories. PIARC was then and 

would still be strongly behind such aims in general. 

Muldy presented a great article on the current 

status of motor racing in the state, with a blow 

by blow account of who was buying what and doing 

what to which. (Ed - Pity he is not still around – we 

could do with more of that stuff.) 

The PIARC Motorkhana set for a new venue at 

the back of Springvale suffered from a few days 

of rain and was washed out – to a point where the 

only two cars that actually got through the gate 

then got bogged and had to be hauled out by the 

amused club members. Left with nothing to do for 

the day, the members took their now dirty cars 

across to the Berwick Airfield where the Light Car 

Club of Australia was having their Motorkhana and 

joined in with them. They felt a bit our of place 

with their scruffy cars and their BBQ sausages 

at a LCCA function, but they survived and even 

admitted that some of the LCCA crew were actually 

quite fast in the dirt. 

“A Load of Bull” back in 1977 was not that much 

different – with news of people and happenings 

within the club. Amongst the committee at that 

time were - 

Geoff Bull – Club Captain/Treasurer 

Alan Campbell – Comp. Secretary 

Warren Reid – Planning Officer 

Brian Ovenden – Social Secretary.

"Bits N Pieces" 

from December 2009 


This week’s challenge is to identify this bit of roadway on Phillip Island. 

Phillip Island as a community is firing off in all 

directions, particularly noticeable with the number 

of housing developments being established 

currently. Admittedly they are all becoming a bit 

suburban but they are attracting a new range of 

interesting houses, great landscaping, and most 

have public walkways and water features. Have 

a look around sometime and join the many of us 

who have properties there. To follow this line of 

thought, have a look at the ad for the Eco Resort 

in this magazine – we are not saying it is a good 

or bad investment, but it is certainly well worth 

looking at. We have quite a deal to do with the 

Eco and with Dominic, the manager there. They 

give discounts to PIARC members and officials 

and competitors at most of out race meetings, 

we use the facilities for evening drinks or document 

checks at times. The whole development is 

well worth having a look at, and as the trees grow 

and soften the appearance of the buildings, it will 

take on a whole new image. 

Also on the books is the Cowes-Stony Point Ferry 

with the Jetty Triangle still being considered for 

the Phillip Island end of the trip. Right now they 

are in the middle of protests about this, with the 

Island Residents up in arms because the proposal 

has a ferry terminal based on a new pier, about 

10 metres away from the old pier, and with the 

triangle carpark being dedicated to the ferry. 

I think a car ferry would be an asset to the area 

and I agree that it needs to be close to Cowes, 

but not so that it ruins the current pier area at 

all. Erewhon Point has also been suggested and 

this is about 500 metres to the East of the old 

pier, with vehicle access away from Thompson 

Ave shops. At this time, I think I agree with 

this concept. 

The Isle of Wight Hotel is currently going back 

to VCAT after the Bass Shire Council failed to 

approve some amendments to the plans which 

were originally approved back in 2005. Seems like 

we will have to wait a bit longer for a improved 

watering hole in Cowes. Been waiting a long time 

already – like about forty years. 

Woolworths are also working on a development in 

Cowes, on the old Boomerang Caravan Park site. 

Current argument is how to get the traffic off 

Thompson Ave and traffic lights are one option 

being considered. I think the whole traffic flow 

into and through Cowes has to be reconsidered 

before this happens – on weekends in summer, 

the traffic into Cowes is at walking pace and 

traffic lights in the middle of that will not help 

the situation. Neither will a ferry station at the 

jetty end of Thompson Ave unless other radical 

changes are made as well. The traffic is not the 

faintest problem in all the streets around the 

main street and these have to be used to reduce 

the main street bank-up.

Champions lining up to race V8s 

As reported in the Age, April 22, 2010 

SEVERAL high-profile international drivers, including former formula one world champion Jacques 

Villeneuve, are expected to appear as guest drivers in the year’s Gold Coast V8 Supercars event. 

Villeneuve, the 1997 world champion, and Australasian Indy-Car stars Will Power, Ryan Briscoe and 

Scott Dixon are understood to be among those to be announced at today’s launch of the October 

22-24 event. 

Villeneuve, 39, who hasn’t had a full-time drive since leaving NASCAR last year, is expected to be 

one of 18 drivers to share a drive with regular V* Supercar drivers. 

Brett Murray, a member of the events management committee, said a world class field had been 

assembled, “We have a mixture of former formula one drivers, Indy 500 championships, IndyCar 

and Champ car champions, world touring car and British touring car champions,” he said. 

The meeting will be classified as the V8 Supercars’ third endurance race of the season after the 

Phillip Island 500 and Bathurst 1000. AAP
