Champions Brock Experience

[014 Phil]

Massive day on Saturday. Champions Brock Experience has been described as one of the best collection of vehicles as a tribute to one driver in the world. Unfortunately it is located well away from major population centres/tourist destinations (but where the owner lives) and after three years of non-profitable operation, it has been announced that it closes at the end of February. We had a club trip planned for June, but that was cancelled, so a few of us made the journey yesterday. 1600 knms, so flying was the only way to make it a day-trip.

Foyer area had some interesting stuff including one of only two cars to have won Bathurst twice


MIG fighter


Team apparel


And the entrance to the display

Inside the display is laid out with Brock road-cars in the middle, with Brock race-cars displayed in chronolgical order around the outside (mixture of replica & genuine cars).

Brock build his first race car at home - an Austin A30 with Holden 6-cyl running gear. This car was incredibly successful & brought Brock to the notice of the Holden Dealer Team. (Replica displayed)


Co-drove this Monaro at Bathurst in '69, finishing 3rd.





Proof that I was there.................

There was also a great model collection, these ones being custom built.


Great day, with plenty of stories & lots of laughs. Well worth the 3 am start & 12.30 am finish............
