• 2025 - September - Social

   September kept us on our toes – starting out wet and cold before finishing with sunshine, motorsport action, and one of our biggest public showcases yet.

  We opened the month with our Annual Peter Brock Memorial Cruise, and true to our word, it went ahead despite the unseasonably rainy conditions. Fitting really – if anyone could drive the wheels off a car no matter the weather, it was Brocky. The route through the Perth Hills was a fantastic drive, made even more memorable by the challenging conditions. After paying our respects at Peter’s memorial, we headed on to the Parkerville Tavern, where members braved the drizzle once again to enjoy a great meal, a few drinks, and that unbeatable HSVOCWA social vibe.

  4. President's Report- Jason Brotherson

  • Wanneroo sprint was an overall success- achieving break even just.  Variety that turned up was encouraging with decent driver training and engagement. Social was a bit down for lunch time and looking to do more to try and overlay of social and motorsport
  • Want to do more driver training mornings – suggestion to move DT to lunch segment as afternoon sessions are quieter and provides more quality time for participants.

  • Reminder Kwinana is coming up – thanks to Tim for the more V8 focused layout. Reminder that instructors can assist new people throughout the day so don’t be scared to have a go, can extend to including instructors in cars. Noted low attendance with 20 registered – need 33 registrations to break even.
  • Christmas event is live now – payment plans available – can book tables of 8 so get in quick. Heavily subsidised – tickets are cheaper than the meal menu and quality entertainment and venue.
