Hi guys,

Need to organise membership with a club as my car will be driving soon. Are there any Torana clubs in Victoria, preferably west Melbourne? If not are there any good Holden clubs that any of you are apart of?

Thanks Mark,

Already in contact in regards to membership with Harold, will give him a call tomorrow.

It is a bit far for me but it shouldn't be a problem once a month

Well i've been in contact with Harold and will be making it down next meet.

As its over an hour if there are any generic Holden clubs that people in the west are apart of could they let me know as proximity is important to me.

Cheers

Hi guys being a member of both clubs being VTC and the HSCCV i think i can help you.
The VTC is more of a car club into shows and displays etc restorations and modified cars are welcome. The meetings are well atttended and informative.
Where as the HSCCV is more into the racing side whether its in a holden or not. Its meeting are not attended that well compared to the VTC. If your into racing your car whether it be a sprint or a motorkhana this is the club for you.
As i say im in both and im also a member of the 60s american muscle car club. I enjoy spending time with all the clubs the Vtc is a cool club for displays etc and they have 3 really big runs thru out the year being the maroondah dam cruise and the noojee tool shed cruise and the big trip to Toranafest every year. They also have other runs just about every month.
I have a need for speed so i joined the HSCCV to really push my cars to the limit on the track im luving getting my Camaro out on the racetrack around victoria. I cant wait to get my hatch finished and then either take my hatch or my camaro out on the track for a spin.

Thats actually a really good summary. In a way too age group is important too.
