Ellem was dedicated to New South Wales’ off road scene for much of his life as both a fierce competitor and highly respected official. David and his wife Gwen were known for their passion and dedication to the sport.
Born in 1942, David became first involved in the sport in the early 1960s where he spent more than a decade servicing for many teams in off road, rally and trials, most notably the Krimmitorium Rally Team and Dave Morrow.
Being part of the organising teams of prestigious off road events like Kempsey, Griffith and Amaroo in the 1970s and 1980s wasn’t enough for a passionate individual like David, with the New South Welshman also heavily involved in the Sydney Recreational Vehicles Association, which would later become known as the Sydney Off Road Racing Association.
Holding roles of club vice-president and president during the 1980s, it was also during that decade where he and Gwen would travel around Australia to attend national events as the official starter – a tradition they would continue long into the 1990s.
