The Doghouse Owners’ Club is the familiar name of the Women’s Motor Racing Associates Club, and the brand under which we market our events and charity fundraising.
The name was coined during a conversation between Bette Hill and Bette Brabham, when Sir Jack Brabham was, quite literally, “in the Doghouse” for once again getting up from dinner to huddle in a corner talking shop (motor racing) with his fellow competitors.
“As Betty Brabham was sitting on her own a couple of girls walked over to join her she said “Jack was in the Doghouse” – and that did it!”. Bette Hill, Other Side of the Hill: Life with Graham Hill
It is also thought that the doghouse image, and our logo, has a strong similarity to the shelters used in the 60s for timekeeping – a role undertaken regularly by wives of Grand Prix drivers.
