About Us

Wollongong Sporting Car Club is one of the oldest CAMS affiliated car clubs in Australia. It was formed when a group of car enthusiasts gathered together towards the end of 1952, and ran its first hillclimb at Huntley in September 1953. Over the history of the club, Wollongong members have competed in just about every arena of motorsport. From observation runs and motorkhanas to drag racing, speedway, hillclimbing, supersprints, circuit racing, rallying and endurance events. Events as high as the Round Australia trials and the Bathurst 1000. A proud tradition has been established and will continue as we head into our second 1/2 century.

On a more modern approach the club is mainly hillclimb oriented but we do have some members who compete in supersprints and rallying. We organise about 6 hillclimbs per year at Huntley Hill, Avondale Rd, West Dapto. Entrants compete in 6 categories depending on the type of vehicle and the extent of modifications and all these have different classes for different engine capacitites. Everything is catered for, from shopping trolleys to Formula 1.
