The FoSC has evolved from the desire of a small group of dedicated individuals to stage motor racing events where enthusiasts can compete simply for the sheer fun and pleasure of it.

Wakefield Park was the birthplace back in 2005 of FoSC so it was fitting that the organisation started its 2011 series in Goulburn.

“We really like to promote our events as family oriented starting with the entrants.” Charles Jardine said.

“We offer special discounts on entry fees for more than one family member entering the events in the one car.”

“We had nine family entries on the weekend with fathers, sons and daughters of the main driver of cars entering the events.

“It is a thrill for me hearing people talking about the event and looking forward to participating or coming to watch before the event.

“During the weekend it is so busy but to see all the volunteers working so well together keeping the meeting running smoothly also is so exciting.

“FLAGGIES, scrutineers, the administration crew, marshals, the firies and breakdown crews all are an integral part of a successful meeting, Mr Jardine said.

“So of course are the drivers, families and the pit crews as well as the spectators.

“At the end of the weekend to get out there and talk with everyone knowing we had a great weekend gives me a real natural high.” Mr Jardine said.

“You don’t need drugs or alcohol.”

There were around 150 competitors in all competing in the racing and regularity competitions. Saturday morning was devoted to scrutineering and practice with the first races after lunch. Sunday was a full day of racing and regularity trials with virtually no gaps between one event.

The only breaks were to clear the track of cars left stranded around the track, clean up debris, or a short break so officials could have lunch.

One noticeable difference between the V8 super cars and these competitors was the distance between the cars even when overtaking and the respect shown for fellow competitors and their machines.

Many of the cars competing over the weekend dated back to the golden days of racing in the 1960s and 70s when the Bathurst 500/1000 was not just a contest between Ford and Holden, but all types of cars took part.

BMWs, Mazdas, Datsuns, even Morris Minis, the variety of vehicles competing in a range of divisions over the weekend was an enthusiast’s delight.

FoSC will be at Eastern Creek International Raceway over the Easter weekend from Thursday April 21 to Sunday April 24. In Spring they return to Wakefield Park for the Shannons Spring Invitational on November 11 to 13.
