On behalf of the Historic Rally Association (HRA), we invite you to enter our 2024 Bagshot Rallysprint.

The Event will be conducted at the Bendigo Car Club property at Bagshot (Bendigo Motorsport Complex and the property known as ‘Kings’), about 35 km North East of Bendigo (Vicroads Map 44 J3, Melway Map 609 F1, Google Maps link) on Saturday 26/10/2024.

Our plan is to give Competitors 6 runs of the 3k circuit, which includes roads in the Bagshot Complex. There will be 3 timed runs run Anticlockwise and 3 timed runs Clockwise, with the best 2 times in each direction will count for your score. You will get a recce run in each direction.

A Motorsport Australia Level 2S licence is all that is required, Roll Cages are not required (but recommended), so it is an ideal event for Standard Car Challenge competitors.

As an HRA event, the event eligibility will be based on 2wd non turbo vehicles.

There will only be 40 entries accepted, so don’t leave your entry until late, if you break your toy between entering and the event, you will get your entry fee back.

If you are unable to enter, you are welcome to come up and give us a hand to run the event, we will need some officials to stand on corners and other jobs.

Please email your entry to the Event Secretary.

Looking forward to your entry,
Andrew Paice, Liz Partington and the rest of the Bagshot Team.

1961 Shell Two Day Trial Re-run

Posted on by SteveH

Round 10 of the 2024 ProRally Standard Car Class
Round 4 of the 2024 HRA Touring Championship

Saturday 5 & Sunday 6 October 2024

Welcome to the 1961 Shell Two Day Trial Re-run.

Crews for the SHELL Two Day Trial Re-run will be traversing as close as possible the 1961 Event route. We will be using the original versions of the Broadbent’s 3 Series maps as used in 1961.Some of the original roads have disappeared and we will not be using others as there is a time constraint to get all crews to Bendigo for the half-way break on Saturday night.

We have added to the original event in the form of a total of four relatively short Regularity Stages with two on Saturday and two on Sunday. Some crews may elect to not do these stages, doing the Tour only. There will be by-passes of these stages.

Our starting point for the event will be the Shell Reddy Fuel Outlet at Taylors Lakes on Saturday 5th October with the first car leaving at 8am.

We hope to get all crews into Bendigo by 6pm to allow time to get to the Bendigo Club for dinner.

Rally Headquarters will be at the Best Western Crystal Inn 233 McIvor Highway Strathdale.

So perhaps try to book accommodation in the area.

For Saturday night, we have booked a room at the Bendigo Club, 22 Park Street, Strathdale. Bistro Meals will be available

Sunday start will be at 8am from Bendigo with the finish at The Wollert Community Centre mid to late afternoon.

The event will be using several of the 3 Series Broadbents original event maps so for event preparation crews could brush up on converting Miles to Kilometres and vice-versa.

We hope you enjoy this event and gain some sense of what it was like to compete in a 1960’s Trials Championship event.

A message from the Clerk of Course…

On behalf of the Directing team, I would like to thank everyone who came out and braved the weather on Saturday. We had 20 crews for the day which is a good number of crews, of course we would always like more.

We would also like to thank the Pakenham Car Club for allowing us to utilize their grounds again and putting on breakfast and lunch again.

2024 HRA Championships: progress scores, but have you registered yet?

Posted on by SteveH

You need to Register to earn points in the 2024 HRA Championships

Register before 31 August to earn points for 2024 events already conducted.

A message from the Scorer:

My job this year is much easier now that the Committee has decided that competitors must be registered to score points.

However, very few members have got around to registering. Both drivers and co-drivers/navigators need to register. This point seems to have been overlooked by many competitors, so that in many, many cases, only one crew member has been scored.

2023 HRA Championship Final Scores

Posted on by SteveH

The final round of the 2023 HRA Rally Championship has been run and won.

There were many HRA members’ names added to the scoring program after the Southern Classic & Marysville Stages. While the extra members contributed to HRA’s pointscore and helped us win the VCRS, it also meant a lot more research and/or guesswork on my part to allocate the ‘new’ crews to the correct vehicle category as well as Masters & Novices.
