RACE MEETINGS
According to reports kept by Ken Ebeling, the Club held its first race
meeting at Strathpine on Saturday, 8th October, 1955, only ten months after
the club was formed. The first race was an open scratch race over 5 laps (7 miles) and was won
by Steve Ames in his Alfa Romeo Tipo 8C 2099cc P3 (pictured at right).
After Strathpine closed, there was a break until 11/12 November,
1978, when the Club returned to promoting race meetings when it
put on the first all-historic race meeting at Lakeside in
conjunction with the Motorcycle Sportsmen. Since 1978, the Club
has promoted at least one, but mostly two, race meetings each
year. These meetings were held at Lakeside, Surfers Paradise and
Queensland Raceway and are now held at Morgan Park at Warwick.
If you have photographs of our Club members at race meetings or
competing in race meetings that would be of interest to our Club
members, please email them to Elaine at
