Peter Whelan I have been a member of the Sporting Car Club since about 1977. I was a founding member of the Historic Racing Register and served on that committee for close on 10 years including a term as Chairman. I played a major part in the HRR being able to hold its annual race meeting at Easter. Originally we shared this meeting with the Austin 7 Club and it was not necessarily held at Easter. I also had major involvement in organising the Victor Harbor sprints and the sesquicentenary event at Victor
Harbor in 1986 which included extensive negotiations with the local Council. During that time I was also a member of the CAMS Historic Car Committee for about five years. I have been actively involved in motor sport since becoming a flag marshal at the first ever Mallala meeting in 1960. I continued this until I commenced racing at Mallala at Easter 1966. I am still competing today and compete at most of the major historic race meetings in Australia each year. I have owned a variety of race cars over the years and currently race a 1977 Chevron B42 (the winner of the 1977 Macau GP driven by Riccardo Patrese). I am a chartered accountant and a partner in the firm PKF. My professional work is in audit and corporate advisory. Over the years I have been a member of and chaired various professional organisation committees. I have served as managing partner and chairman of PKF South Australia. Regards, Peter Whelan Leyland George I have enjoyed continuous membership of The Sporting Car Club since joining in 1972. I held the position of President from 1999 to 2001 and occupied committee positions prior to this period. I have also acted as Secretary. I have been a CAMS Steward for 36 years and an active member of the Stewards Advisory panel. I am also a Past Chairman of the panel, occupying this position for over 10 years. In 2000 I was appointed as a CAMS Tribune to preside over CAMS Appeals and Disputes. In the past I have been involved in many of the Club’s major activities, as well as national events. With the qualification of ‘Gold’ Steward, I have officiated at major events throughout Australia. I officiated at all Grand Prix events in Adelaide as a Steward and have been active as a Senior Official at all Clipsal 500 events. In recent years I have acted as Assistant Clerk of Course. In 1995 I was recognised as CAMS Official of the Year and in 2005 was awarded the prestigious CAMS Service Award. I am a Past President of the Alfa Romeo Owners Club, occupying the position for four years and also a current member of the MG Car Club of SA in the position of Vice President. I have a passion for the judicial process in Motor Sport, ensuring in fairness for all concerned, and a great interest in Car Clubs and their place in the motoring world. In 1996 I retired from a technical position with the State Government. At present I am semi-retired, occupying a position with a company two days per week. I have been married to Gloria for 48 years; have two children and four grandchildren - and have enjoyed my 71 years. Leyland George John Ellis I have been a member of the Club since my teens, initially through my fascination with veteran cars, encouraged by Colin Wagener and Eric Rainsford. This has resulted in me collecting sporting cars that range from 1911 to recent, and they occupy a significant part of my life. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering, which led to employment at GM Holden and Chrysler Australia. At Chrysler, I was the Suspension Design Engineer, which led to being engaged as Competitions Manager, in charge of the company motor racing team. As part of that task, I developed the Track Pack Pacers and the Six Pack Chargers. I went to France to develop the six-cylinder Centura, before leaving Chrysler to be the project manager for the Monarto New Town Studies. I had produced about 20 Council Development Plans before joining the Premier’s Planning Review. That led to me being the instructing officer in the adoption of our current planning legislation by Parliament. Following a few years of private Development Planning, I have retired and now spend much time in restoring a few cars that I have picked up in small pieces over the years. It also means that I have more time for Collingrove, Mallala and Veteran, Vintage and Classic events. I believe that I have the knowledge and skills to assist the Management Committee in its vital role in the Club. John Ellis
