National Motoring Heritage Day drive to Phillip Island for E30 Racing

27 Jun 2022 10:20 PM | Anonymous

Event date: 15 May 2022 

This run was organised by Paul Holliday, and left from two Melbourne points, Port Melbourne and Officer, then on to San Remo to join up with the remaining members.

Weather on the Sunday was sunny and dry, but Saturday's racing was held on a wet track.

The State Series had the usual classes in the series, including Formula Ford, E30, Brabham BT62, HQ, MG and Invited British, Historic Touring, to name a few.  There were 13 E30s racing.

Jo Mawson was Deputy Secretary for the meeting, and was also the "chequered flag waver" for the final E30 race, which she was thrilled about!

Graeme Bell and Tim Oh were busy helping in the pits - it was good to have pit access for everyone,  and be able to chat with drivers and crews.

Walking around the pits and getting close up to numerous cars, as well as the racing, is what this day is all about.

The afternoon saw the lap record broken by Tim Slade in a Brabham BT62 Supercar. This record had stood for approximately 22 years, and it was good to see and hear this record being broken.

This was another brilliant BMWDCM event, thanks to all those involved for organising it.
